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 Premium 16" is Patton’s compact kamado in its complete form: on a stand with four wheels, two of them braked, with two folding bamboo side tables.
What sets it apart from other compact kamados is what comes with it. Besides the dome thermometer, Patton includes a Bluetooth thermometer with six probes and a handle with built-in LED lighting. A heat deflector for indirect cooking is not included; it is sold separately.
Patton gives twenty years on the ceramic shell and dome. The other parts carry shorter terms, see the specifications.
Who it suits: Anyone after a compact kamado delivered complete, with a thermometer to watch from a distance.
Against 10 other kamados between €449.00 and €799.00, on the specifications the maker publishes.
On the measured specifications, this kamado does not stand out from similar kamados.
Only the figures we hold for every model, and only within this size. What a shop cannot tell you.
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.

RecommendedBlows 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
RecommendedThe 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
RecommendedCeramic copes with frost, but the hardware and hinges do not cope with months of rain. At this size a cover is the cheapest maintenance there is.

Protection
RecommendedLeather with a Kevlar lining, for opening a hot dome or shifting a grate. A cotton oven mitt is not built for that.

Maintenance
RecommendedAsh 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.

Go to bolEvery 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.

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.

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.

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.
