How it works
To get the Kamado up to that higher temperature quickly, you can use 3 or more wicks. These Wood Wool are easy to light and get the charcoal on in no time. When cooking high and fast on a Kamado, it is important to maintain the right temperature. The Kamado has 2 air vents with which you can easily regulate the air supply and thus the temperature.

Why high and fast cooking?
The results of high and fast cooking are delicious dishes with a crispy exterior and juicy meat inside. For example, a perfect grilled steak with a nice brown crust and a juicy red centre. The high temperature ensures rapid caramelisation of the surface, while the inside remains tender and juicy. It is also a good option if you are short on time but still want to enjoy delicious grilled food.
