GrillChef Mini Kamado, Black

Product Information

For indirect cooking and smoking, there is a plate, often called a ‘heat deflector’ or ‘plate setter’ which is placed under the grate, and sits on three legs. By adding this feature to a kamado, SNS Grills has created dedicated multi-zone cooking – one direct and two indirect. The basket elevates the charcoal to a position just below one side of the main cooking surface, a 22-inch stainless steel grate that rotates 360 degrees for easy access to your food. Even though the Kamado grill concept has been around for thousands of years, this company is still focused on innovation and improvement.

Broil King has the solution: metal. The inside is coated with ceramic, but the exterior is all steel. And rather than looking like an egg, it really does look like a keg.Don’t get caught up looking at features and forget to ask about the warranty. Some brands will offer a lifetime (or a very very long) warranty on these grills. Make sure you ask the question, as kamados really should last you a lifetime. Ash Trays Look for a warranty that provides good, comprehensive coverage; some companies offer a lifetime of coverage, and some offer little or none. While temperature control is certainly achievable with a charcoal grill, they burn through the fuel and you throw more on. You will have to make adjustments to the vents to keep the temperature constant. Similarly, if it is cold, windy, or wet out you will have to make adjustments to keep the fire burning hot. Buying Guide — Features to Look for in a Good Kamado Grill My absolute favorite charcoal smoker of all that I own: The kamado Big Joe 3

The most obvious difference between Big Joe II and Big Joe III is the shape of the cooker. Joe III is taller than Joe II, with an elongated barrel shape. The extra cubic inches allow for more versatility inside, including expanding the Divide & Conquer Cooking System from two tiers to three. As you get closer to the target temperature, you will find it easier to make final adjustments by using the top vent only. If you live in a cold climate, these are also an excellent option. They will keep in the heat even in the most bitter and cold weather, so you can smoke right on through the winter.No required accessories– Unlike the Big Green Egg, everything you need to smoke and grill comes with the unit, including a stand with wheels, flip-upside tables, and slide-out ash drawer and ash tool, so you don’t need to pay extra for accessories. This unit is made of durable steel. This is important because if you plan on taking this little kamado on the road with you, there is a chance it could be dropped. This grill will hold temperatures from 250-750°F. The top vent is responsible for the finer temperature adjustments and is designed to be rust and rain proof. This BBQ is a total bargain and for the price, I'd recommend anyone looking for a smaller Kamado-style BBQ on a budget to invest. It is pretty small, with 4 burgers max at a time, but if you only have a few people to cater to then it'll suffice. The setup time is minimal and the cooking on this BBQ is great, with the vents making it really versatile for all different types of foods. If looking for a portable Kamado grill, the Joe Junior is quite possibly the best, having the same build quality and lifetime warranty as it’s larger stablemates.
