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
PRO Large Complete
The Dutch brand’s flagship
€2,399.00
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.
PRO is where The Bastard puts everything: the thickest ceramic in the range, stainless hardware, and a frame with a worktop rather than two folding shelves. At Large size it is the dearest thing the brand makes.
Whether it is worth the step up from the Core depends on how you cook. The mass helps on long sessions below a hundred and twenty degrees; for grilling and pizza a Core does the same for five hundred euros less. It comes in three colours at the same price.
Who it suits: Anyone cooking mostly low and slow who wants the mass that keeps it calm.
Strong
- The thickest ceramic the brand makes
- Stainless hardware on the parts that get wet
- Three colours at the same price
Less strong
- Five hundred euros above the Core Large
- The difference mostly shows on long, low sessions

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.
The same kamado, different configuration
These are the same kamado packed differently — usually with or without the frame, sometimes with accessories thrown in. The name is the shop's; the price difference below is today's, against the bare kamado on this page.
- PRO Large Solo Graphite€1,999.00€400.00 cheaper
- PRO Large Alpine Green€2,399.00same price
- PRO Large Desert Sand€2,399.00same price
This kamado, priced as above: €2,399.00
Note: the configuration with more in the box is cheaper here than the bare kamado. That happens more often than you would think, and no product page says so.

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.
