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.

Kamado Joe
Classic II
The model most people end up on and stay on
€1,399.00
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 Classic II is what Kamado Joe built its reputation on. The Divide & Conquer grate turns it into two cooking zones at two heights, which means something can cook indirectly while something else is seared directly — on one barbecue, at the same time.
Beyond that, the development is in the things you touch every time: a hinge that holds the lid at any angle, a cast iron vent that does not seize, and the Kontrol Tower chimney that keeps its setting when you open the lid.
It is not a better kamado than the Classic I in terms of how it holds heat. It is a kamado that is nicer to work with, and on something you use every week that is no small difference.
Who it suits: Anyone cooking weekly who wants the operating to be as good as the result.

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.

Baking
Can waitPizza stone (Kamado Joe)
A kamado reaches the temperature that cooks a pizza in three minutes without effort; what is missing is a stone that bakes the base along with it. This one is cut to the Classic size.
