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 Classic Pro Series 2.0 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 Pro Series is Monolith’s top model at Classic size and ships the way German manufacturers do it: stand, side shelves and the Smart Grid System are included, and the hardware is stainless rather than chromed.
The Smart Grid System is where this model sets itself apart. Grates, heat deflectors and inserts slide into a fixed framework rather than resting loose on rings, which means you can move a half-full grate without taking everything out.
It belongs in the top end, and unlike Big Green Egg, everything really is included here. So compare on what is supplied, not on the number.
Who it suits: Anyone who wants everything at once and does not plan to buy more.

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

Lighting
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 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.

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.

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.

Reading on this
What we wrote about this, with the kit each piece names.
Low and slow: brisket and pulled pork on a kamado
Twelve hours at a hundred and ten degrees is a technique, not a test of patience. What happens in the meat, why it stalls for hours, and when to wrap it.
Holding temperature on a kamado
The mistake everyone makes first time is overshooting and then trying to come back down. Why that does not work, and how to actually get a kamado to 110 degrees and keep it there.
