Frequently Asked Questions about Japanese Kamado Grills

What is a Kamado barbecue? / What is a Kamado?

Kamados are traditional egg-shaped charcoal barbecues made of ceramic. They originally came from Japan, but their use has spread due to their versatility when cooking: they can roast, smoke, and sear at high temperatures, depending on the amount of charcoal used and the distance between the grill and the embers. At Barbacoas Express, you'll find a catalog of the best brands, with models of different sizes and features, so you can choose the Kamado that best suits your tastes and needs.

How to light a kamado barbecue?

Lighting a Kamado can be easier than it seems. There are several ways to do it, so you can choose the one that suits you best. The most common method is to light firelighters or firelighter balls and place them inside the Kamado, just below the charcoal briquettes, allowing air to circulate between them. After about 15 minutes, when most of the briquettes have turned light gray, the coals are ready. If you prefer a faster method, you can use an electric firelighter like the Lightlighter.

Which Kamado to buy?

When purchasing a Kamado barbecue, there are two main factors to consider: one is the size you need, and the other is how you intend to use it. If you want to purchase a quality Kamado, it's important to look at the manufacturer. This way, you can ensure that it will perform well and last a long time, backed by the brand's warranty.
