What actually differs between the GRLLR Ember Classic 16 and the Patton Classic Kamado 16" Table Chef, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Classic Kamado 16" Table Chef is €280.00 cheaper.
  • They are in the same size class (compact), so look at the grate size for cooking surface.
  • Both ceramic.
