What is a Kamado Grill?
People have known about the heat-storing properties of ceramics for at least 3,000 years. After US soldiers took so-called “Mushikamado”, mobile ceramic cooking stoves used by Japanese field workers, to America in the middle of the 20th century and developed the first charcoal grills, the concept of ceramic grilling spread all over the world. Nowadays, a kamado grill is more than just a grill; it is a versatile cooking tool with unique features.
Advantages of a Kamado grill
Thermal insulation, versatility, durability.
The ceramic structure of a Kamado grill provides unmatched thermal insulation, allowing temperatures to be maintained precisely over long periods of time. This efficiency makes the Kamado Grill a master of versatility - from spicy grilling to slow cooking to baking and smoking. Added to this is the impressive longevity that comes with the robust construction.
How to choose the right Kamado grill?
When choosing the right Kamado grill, you should consider how much space you need, what features you prefer and how much you are willing to spend. It's better not to make any compromises when it comes to material quality. MONOLITH offers a range of models that vary in size and features to meet the different needs of grill fans.
How does a Kamado grill work?
A Kamado grill works by circulating hot air within its enclosed, ceramic space. Charcoal is lit at the bottom of the grill and the air supply is regulated by valves at the bottom and top of the grill.
The heat is absorbed by the ceramic walls and distributed evenly throughout the grill, resulting in efficient and even cooking. Air supply and exhaust control allows the user to precisely control the temperature.
The Kamado principle
The fundamental difference to an oven or gas grill is that the MONOLITH uses the radiant heat of the ceramic instead of circulating hot air, which means the food stays much juicier.
Precise temperature management. The Kamado is powered by charcoal and heated by the chimney effect: air flows through the supply air opening into the combustion chamber and supplies the embers with oxygen.The exhaust air flows out again at the top via the exhaust air valve. The temperature can be adjusted to the exact degree via the supply and exhaust air openings. A temperature range of 70 – 400 °C can be used.
