Discover the YAKINIKU® Kamado Black Edition: Stylish, Powerful, and Sharply Priced
Looking for a Kamado BBQ that combines modern design with top-tier performance? The YAKINIKU® Kamado Black Edition is the perfect choice. This sleek Kamado features a clean all-black look without compromising on performance or durability. Available in both MEDIUM and LARGE sizes, the Black Edition is an ideal alternative for those who want something different from the classic model.
Designed for refined barbecue lovers with a taste for minimalism, the Black Edition immediately catches the eye thanks to its black powder-coated steel and dark-stained bamboo. Meanwhile, you enjoy all the trusted benefits of our standard Kamados: precise temperature control, high insulation value, and endless cooking versatility.
What Makes the Black Edition Unique?
At first glance, the black accents stand out. But the differences go beyond aesthetics. Here’s everything you need to know about the YAKINIKU® Kamado Black Edition:
- Black Powder-Coated Design
The Black Edition is distinguished by its fully black finish. The base, hinge, thermometer, top vent, and side tables are all made from stylish black powder-coated steel. The handle and side tables are crafted from black-stained bamboo, perfectly complementing the Kamado’s modern look. - Lightweight and Low Maintenance
By using powder-coated steel instead of stainless steel, the Black Edition is slightly lighter and easier to handle. This coating is highly resistant to heat, moisture, and dirt, making it ideal for years of grilling pleasure. Note: powder-coated steel is a bit more prone to scratching than stainless steel, so we recommend handling the BBQ with care. - Perfect for Style-Conscious Grillers
Whether you have a sleek outdoor kitchen or a compact balcony, the Black Edition adds instant character. Thanks to its minimalist design and high-end finish, this Kamado fits seamlessly into any modern setting. And it comes at a more attractive price than our basic models, without compromising performance. - Excellent Price-Quality Ratio
Because the Black Edition uses less stainless steel and comes with a different accessory set as standard, it’s priced lower than the basic model. For those seeking a stylish and affordable Kamado, this is the smartest investment.

Medium and Large: Two Sizes, Endless Possibilities
The Black Edition is available in two sizes:
• Kamado Medium (16 inch) – ideal for households of up to 5 people. Compact but powerful, with enough grilling space for fish, meat, and vegetables.
• Kamado Large (19 inch) – our most popular size. Perfect for families or small gatherings, with plenty of room for larger meals and extended accessories.
Both models offer the premium quality you expect from us: cordierite and quartz ceramic, precision airflow control, and a perfectly sealing lid for optimal heat circulation. Naturally, they’re compatible with all Kamado accessories, from heat deflectors and pizza stones to cast iron grates and raised grids.
Ease of Use, Professional Results
The Black Edition isn’t just a visual statement, it’s a joy to use. Thanks to precise temperature control enabled by the airtight seal and adjustable vents, you have complete command over every dish. Whether slow cooking, direct grilling, or smoking, everything is possible and adjustable to the degree.
The hinges are solid, the lid opens smoothly, and the included charcoal grate ensures optimal charcoal combustion. Want to take it further? Expand your Black Edition with our wide range of Kamado accessories.
Accessories and Upgrades
The Black Edition comes standard with a charcoal grate. Other accessories like an ash pan or charcoal basket, which are included with the basic models, are optionally available. This lets you decide how extensively to equip your Kamado.
You can enhance your barbecue experience with additional parts like:
• Pizza stones for crispy crusts
• Heat deflectors for indirect cooking
• Cast iron grates for perfect grill marks
• Raised racks for cooking multiple dishes at once
Using high-quality charcoal also makes a huge difference. We recommend our Marabu and Acacia charcoal for long-lasting, even burning. For extra flavor, there’s a wide selection of smoking woods in chips or chunks.
Grill in Style and with Sustainability
With 33 mm thick high-grade ceramic, the Black Edition ensures a stable temperature and minimal charcoal consumption, up to 60% less than an open grill. With proper care, your Black Edition will last for decades. We recommend regular cleaning and using a protective cover. Tips on assembly and maintenance can be found here.
