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.

Grill Guru
Original XL
Fifty-six centimetres, complete, for under a thousand
€989.00
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.
Fifty-six centimetres of grate is catering size. Two full briskets side by side, a suckling pig, or twenty burgers in one round — this is the size you buy because you regularly cook for a group, not because bigger is better.
That Grill Guru puts it out complete with a stand for under a thousand euros is exceptional in this size class: at the premium brands an XL starts at roughly double, and the frame is not included at that.
Do reckon with what an XL asks of you. It is heavy, it eats charcoal, and it takes half an hour to come up to temperature. Anyone using it for two people has bought an expensive, slow medium.
Who it suits: Anyone regularly cooking for eight people or more.

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.

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.

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.

Can waitCharcoal basket (Grill Guru)
A basket keeps the charcoal together and lets the ash fall through, which reduces emptying afterwards to a single movement. It is also the easiest way to run on a half load.
