Fuel
EssentialLump charcoal
Supermarket briquettes give smoke and ash; a kamado is built for large lumps that burn for hours. Marabu is the classic choice — hard wood, little ash, and what is left over gets reused next time.

Big Green Egg
Large
The best-selling kamado in the world, supplied bare
€1,995.00
Too few measurements yetWe have only recently started tracking this price. Once we have measured enough days, this will say whether now is a good moment.
The Large is the model Big Green Egg makes most of its turnover on, and the size all of the brand’s accessories are designed around first. Forty-six centimetres of grate, ceramic thicker than the rest of this list manages, and airflow control that is exactly enough with two vents.
Nothing comes with it. No nest, no casters, no side shelves — that is this brand’s sales model and the reason its price looks misleadingly low on a comparison site. A Large standing at working height on wheels easily costs five hundred euros more than the Egg itself.
Against that sits the longest service life in the category. The ceramic parts carry a lifetime warranty, and fifteen-year-old Eggs still change hands for serious money.
Who it suits: Anyone buying once, properly, and counting residual value.

The same kamado, different configuration
These versions are the same kamado in a different make-up — usually with or without a stand, sometimes with accessories added. Prices vary widely and the cheapest is not always the bare one, so it pays to look at all of them.

This is what we know for certain. Measurements the manufacturer or the shop does not state are left out rather than estimated — a grate size or a weight that is not there is one we do not have.

Accessories that fit this kamado
Picked on this kamado’s size, material and brand
Fuel
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.

Indirect cooking
EssentialHeat deflector 45 cm
Without a deflector the meat sits straight over the fire and a kamado is an expensive grill. The deflector turns it into an oven, which is what low and slow rests on. Check whether your complete set already came with one.

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 15–21 inch
The size that fits almost every medium and large, including most models with side shelves. To be safe, measure the width across the shelves rather than the diameter of the ceramic.

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.

Maintenance
Can waitGasket felt
The felt between dome and base wears, and a kamado drawing air past the lid can no longer be held at a low setting. This is the part that comes due after a few years, and it is replaceable without tools.
