Fuel
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.

The Bastard
Core Medium Complete
The current generation at the size most people buy
€1,449.00
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 Core range succeeds the Urban, and this is that generation at medium: heavier ceramic, the revised hinge, and the graphite finish The Bastard is rolling out across the line-up. Complete means a rolling stand and two side shelves.
The difference against the Urban Medium is in the finish and in how the lid hangs, not in what happens on the grate. On a barbecue you open weekly that is less trivial than it sounds — but it is also where the price gap sits.
Who it suits: Anyone wanting the middle size on the generation that stays supported.
Strong
- Current generation, so accessories stay available
- Revised hinge, lighter to open
- Complete with frame and side shelves
Less strong
- Considerably dearer than the Urban Medium
- The cooking difference against the previous generation is small

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.

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.

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.
