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.

Price alert
When the Epicure Large 22" 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 Epicure is the range Patton uses to step out of the entry class: thicker ceramic than the Classic series, a heavier hinge, and a graphite grey finish instead of the matt black of the rest.
Forty-eight and a half centimetres of grate is slightly more than a Large from the premium brands, and that helps with exactly one thing: a whole brisket that does not have to be cut in two. Beyond that the difference against forty-seven centimetres is theoretical.
Who it suits: Anyone who wants large cuts in one go without moving up to an XL.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
