Kamado Smokers and Barbecues

KAMADO BBQs | Kamado Smokers | KAMADO GRILLS

The Big Green Egg was the original Kamado BBQ and is still the best. There are 5 sizes of Big Green Egg in Australia, from the Mini Max to the Commercial sizes 2XL. However, for many of you who are cooking, there is a Kamado Smoker for you. There have been a few innovations in recent years with the Weber Summit Kamado, using twin-skinned steel and air as the insulator, which makes it lighter and easier to move around. There is no denying that the Kamado BBQ is one of the most versatile barbecues you can buy and, as a bonus, gives you the most juicy and delicious food you will ever eat off barbeques.

The History of the Kamado Barbeques

Today’s Kamado BBQs are modelled on the clay cooking vessels, fuelled by wood or natural charcoal, first seen during the Chinese Qin Dynasty and later used by the Japanese beginning in the 3rd century. U.S. servicemen discovered this type of cooker during World War II and shipped them home after the war. The domed cookers were an exciting alternative to the metal charcoal or gas grills of the day and people became enamoured with the added flavour and juiciness of a kamado grill. These original cookers however were fragile, so the decision to refine the composition of the ceramic and aligned with a state-of-the-art factory to manufacture was made. The result is a far superior Kamado Barbecue that is stronger, more durable and provides better heat insulation than anything else on the market.
