4. Energy efficiency: the Kamado is naturally energy-efficient due to its design and construction. The ceramic material the Kamado 's are made of offers excellent insulation properties, retaining heat within the grill and using it more efficiently.
5. Easy to clean: The ceramic outer layer makes the Kamado highly resistant to rust and caked-on food residues. Our Kamados have a coal basket and removable grids which simplifies cleaning and maintenance of the grill.
In summary, the YAKINIKU® Kamado offers quality, versatility, cosiness, energy efficiency and easy maintenance, which can make it an excellent investment for barbecue and grilling enthusiasts. A YAKINIKU® Kamado is an investment for life. As a beginner, you can get off to a good start and learn a lot from it, but the Kamado's durable material means that, if cared for properly, it will last you a very long time.
What models are there?
We have 6 different models of the Kamado at YAKINIKU®, the Mini, Compact, Medium, Large, XLarge and the XXLarge. You might be wondering: which is the best Kamado for beginners? We highlight 3 models we recommend for the beginner griller:
Compact
The Compact Kamado is ideal because of its portability. You can easily move the Compact Kamado and take it to different locations because of its foldable base, such as a campsite, a picnic or a friend's house. Also, the Compact takes up less space than a larger Kamado, which is easy if you have a small garden, balcony or patio. Because the Compact is fairly small, it heats up faster and also uses less fuel. This model is also very suitable for preparing small quantities of food, such as burgers, chicken breasts or pizza. You can also add extra flavour to these dishes using the Woodchipper. With this, you can easily add smoke wood to the Kamado without losing heat. This makes the compact a good option for small families or people living alone.
Medium
The Medium Kamado has several advantages over smaller Kamado 's. A Medium Kamado can heat up efficiently and retain this heat, meaning it uses less fuel and offers more consistency when preparing food. The Medium Kamado is ideal for families, as it offers enough space to prepare meals for several people, but is still compact enough to fit in an average garden or patio. You can use accessories such as an additional raised grid to play with direct and indirect heat to prepare different types of food at the same time. The Medium Kamado bbq also allows you to grill with direct and indirect heat and is a good base to start with as a non-griller. Like all models, the Medium is made of high-quality materials, making it durable and resistant to high temperatures and weather conditions.
Large
The Large Kamado is the model we would recommend to most people. Mainly because of the many accessories that fit beautifully with this model. For example, the pro set for direct and indirect grilling, heat shields, Teppanyaki plates and much more. But not only the accessories are an advantage with this model, you can also use the Large Kamado for many different cooking methods, such as grilling, smoking, baking, and slow cooking. It is suitable for cooking meat as well as vegetables and fish, making it a versatile bbq. The airflow control system makes it easy to achieve and maintain the perfect temperature for preparing different dishes. Also, the Large is more powerful than the smaller Kamado 's so it heats up faster and retains heat better. This ensures better performance when preparing food and better control over cooking conditions. We are huge fans of the Large Kamado, but did you know that our Kamado is also rated excellent in various reviews ?
