Why the medium kamado from YAKINIKU?
What you notice straight away about our medium 16 kamado is that it's built to last for years and to look beautiful doing it. Every YAKINIKU® Kamado bbq has a luxurious black finish and is made from extra thick ceramic combined with the mineral cordierite, a stone that absorbs extreme temperature swings without cracking. That's why your kamado can handle rain, snow and blazing sun, and why it's ready for you in the middle of winter too, provided you maintain it well. All the stainless steel we use, from the daisy wheel on top to the air vents at the bottom, is type 304 steel, the best choice for rust resistance and heat resistance. That choice of materials translates into something very concrete for you: a grill that keeps its luxurious look and that you won't have to replace after a couple of seasons.
The round shape of this kamado 16 inch makes the hot air circulate optimally, so you effectively create an oven. Because you easily control the oxygen supply yourself via the top and bottom vents, you're in charge of the temperature. That way you sear your steak at high temperature and let it finish gently at a lower one. The yakiniku medium kamado reaches temperatures above 300 degrees without effort, exactly what you need to bake a crisp pizza on the pizza stone within minutes. Want to understand first what makes a ceramic grill so special? That's explained clearly in the background to choosing a YAKINIKU Kamado.
Choosing the right size: does the 16 inch suit you?
Is a 16 inch kamado big enough for a family of 4? Yes, comfortably: the 41 cm grate offers enough grilling surface to cook for 4 to 5 people with room to spare. In fact, you'll have space left to prepare different dishes at the same time, for example meat, fish and vegetables kept neatly separate for vegetarians or allergies. Want even more room? Then you easily expand with the extra elevated grate, which increases your grilling surface by a full 70%, ideal for keeping sauces warm or letting dishes finish cooking.
Torn between this medium kamado grill and a larger model? The medium kamado from YAKINIKU is the versatile middle ground that fits in almost any garden. If you regularly cook for larger groups, the 19 inch large kamado is worth a look, while the 22 inch xlarge really comes into its own at parties and in hospitality. Feel free to view all kamado models side by side to see which size, and which group of friends, best matches your grilling rhythm. For most families and relaxed evenings with friends, the yakiniku kamado medium is exactly the right balance between space, size and flexibility.
Accessories, charcoal and the woodchipper
Which accessories are available for the Yakiniku Medium 16 inch? For this model you'll find an extra elevated grate, a cast iron grate for beautiful grill marks, a heat shield for indirect cooking, a pizza stone, the multilevel lift and of course the woodchipper. With that woodchipper you add smoking wood without opening the lid, so you lose no heat; the access point is double insulated, so you can operate the kamado without burning your fingers. Bear in mind that the MEDIUM does have a woodchipper opening, but the woodchipper itself is ordered separately.
With the right smoking wood you decide the flavour yourself, from subtle apple smoke to robust hickory. The foundation is always good charcoal: our YAKINIKU® ceramic retains heat so well that you noticeably burn less than on an open barbecue. Want to know exactly what you're getting? Then browse freely through our range of grill accessories for your kamado and pick the matching charcoal for the best fire base. Just starting out and want everything at hand in one go? Then take a look at our handy starter packages to get going straight away.
Warranty, ceramic quality and service
What are the warranty terms and the ceramic quality of the Yakiniku Medium? The ceramic of this kamado comes with a lifetime warranty, because every YAKINIKU® is handmade from extra strong ceramic refined with quartz and cordierite and fired at high temperature in a blast furnace. That combination makes the wall of your kamado resistant to both the intense heat inside and the weather outside. You'll notice the result for years: a grill that keeps its power and its luxurious black look, and that lasts for decades with good care.
