YAKINIKU COMPACT Kamado Basic: The Ultimate Compact Kamado BBQ for Any Occasion
You want to be able to grill wherever you like, and still sit down with four people to enjoy freshly grilled meat. The COMPACT YAKINIKU 13 inch Kamado grill combines those two wishes: a 33 cm grate on a foldable camping base. That makes it easy to take along to the beach, the woods or a picnic. Discover below why this compact Kamado is the best choice for the flexible griller and order it online right away.
The COMPACT 13 inch: small in size, big in performance
The COMPACT Kamado from YAKINIKU is designed specifically for grillers who aren't tied to one fixed spot. Thanks to the easily foldable camping base, this Kamado bbq is set up in no time, wherever you are. The portable base makes the grill easy to transport, while the size stays practical to carry. And you give up nothing in firepower: like every other model in our collection of ceramic grills, this is a real powerhouse that you fire up to high grilling temperatures effortlessly.
What makes the COMPACT 13 inch so special is the combination of portability and full Kamado technology. The oval shape ensures hot air circulates evenly, and because you easily control the oxygen supply yourself, you're in charge of the temperature. That way you sear meat over high heat and let it finish gently at a lower temperature, exactly as you're used to with a large Kamado.
Top quality thanks to the very best materials
At YAKINIKU, quality, precision and elegance come first, and you notice that immediately in the luxurious black finish of the COMPACT. Thanks to a combination of extra thick ceramic and cordierite, this Kamado withstands all weather conditions, so you can leave it outside without worry even in winter. The use of type 304 stainless steel for the vent control, the air vents and the hinge provides a heat-resistant, rust-free finish that lasts for years.
That choice of materials gives you more than just good looks. Because the ceramic retains heat, your Kamado burns considerably less charcoal than an open barbecue and holds a stable temperature for longer. The extra spacious ash pan catches more ash and charcoal than average, and the heat-resistant felt seal prevents unnecessary oxygen from entering or temperature from being lost. On this Kamado, as on all our models, you also get a lifetime warranty on ceramic.
For 4 people, and ready to expand
Is the YAKINIKU COMPACT big enough for 4 people? Yes, the 33 cm grate offers exactly enough grilling surface to serve four people a flavourful meal. The COMPACT has a grate with considerably more room than the smaller MINI, so you can comfortably serve a table of friends or the family. Want more space while grilling? Then simply expand with the elevated grate, which adds 70% extra grilling surface, ideal for keeping vegetables warm or preparing dishes separately.
Which accessories are available for the YAKINIKU COMPACT 13 inch? You'll find a heat shield for indirect cooking, a pizza stone to turn your Kamado into a pizza oven, a cast iron grate for beautiful grill marks, a Teppanyaki plate for authentic Japanese cooking and the woodchipper, which lets you add smoking wood without opening the lid. Discover the full range of handy bbq accessories to expand your grilling options further. The COMPACT comes with a woodchipper opening as standard, but the woodchipper itself is purchased separately.
The COMPACT 13 inch or the MEDIUM 16 inch?
What's the difference between the YAKINIKU COMPACT 13 inch and the YAKINIKU MEDIUM 16 inch? The COMPACT has a 33 cm grate for around 4 people and stands on a movable camping base, while the MEDIUM offers room for about 5 people with its 41 cm grate and comes on a fixed base with side tables. If flexibility and easy transport are what you're after, the COMPACT is your model. If you want a permanent spot in the garden or outdoor kitchen with extra worktop and grilling surface, the MEDIUM suits you better. Still unsure which model fits you? Then our reasons to choose a YAKINIKU Kamado will help you on your way.
New to ceramic grilling? Our explanation of using your Kamado for the first time shows exactly how to light it and manage the temperature. For the true Japanese flavour experience you work with Marabu, the black gold of Japan, a charcoal with a carbon content of 96 to 98% that burns steadily for hours and barely spits or smokes. If you want to get off to a flying start, choose one of our complete starter packages, which give you everything at hand.
