EssentialFirelighters
Wood-wool lighters rather than fluid or chemical cubes. Lighter fluid is something you taste for the first hour, and in a kamado that flavour sits in the ceramic where it does not come out again.

When the 2XL drops
Kamados drop hardest at the end of the barbecue season and around Black Friday. Leave your email address and pick below what you want to hear about.
The 2XL is the size restaurants and caterers work with: a grate that takes twenty whole chickens. It is also the heaviest ceramic Big Green Egg makes, at a weight that takes four people to lift and is then never moved again.
For home use this is almost always too much. A half-full 2XL costs a serious amount of extra charcoal and three quarters of an hour of warm-up every session, and delivers exactly what a full Large does. It is here because it exists and people search for it, not because we recommend it.
There is no stand included, as with every Big Green Egg. At this size that frame is a purchase in itself.
Who it suits: Catering, a club, or anyone routinely cooking for twenty.

RecommendedLooftlighter
Blows superheated air at the charcoal instead of holding a flame to it. You aim it at one spot, that spot starts glowing, and that decides where your fire begins.

Measuring
RecommendedMeat thermometer
The gauge in the lid measures the air at the top of the dome, not the meat and not the grate. For anything taking more than an hour, core temperature is the only number that counts.

Protection
RecommendedCover 21–25 inch
For the XL sizes, which rarely fit under anything and therefore stand outside all year. Roomy enough to fall over a stand with side shelves.

RecommendedHeat-resistant gloves
Leather with a Kevlar lining, for opening a hot dome or shifting a grate. A cotton oven mitt is not built for that.

Maintenance
RecommendedAsh tool
Ash in the base blocks the bottom vent, and a kamado that gets no air holds no temperature. A hook that reaches the back of the firebox is the difference between two minutes of work and half a teardown.

Every bag fits every kamado. What differs is the order: bags the maker sells as restaurant grade or large pieces come first, because large lumps let air through the stack and fines smother themselves.
Sold as restaurant grade, which for charcoal is mostly about piece size: large lumps let air through the stack rather than packing down.
- White quebracho
- Lump charcoal
- Large pieces
Kamado Joe’s own charcoal, sold on piece size, and the name is the pitch. The bag holds 9.07 kilos, which is twenty American pounds.
- Not stated on the bag
- Lump charcoal
- Large pieces
Marabu with a long burn, and an alternative to the other marabu here. Useful when that one is out of stock, since availability shifts weekly.
- Marabu
- Lump charcoal
Quebracho from South America, the same wood as the Legua and The Bastard’s Paraguay bag, beside the same brand’s marabu. Which of the three quebrachos you pick, the price per kilo decides.
