OUR BBQS - Kamados

Buy a Kamado BBQ at BBQ Valley in Venlo

In our showroom, you can view and compare the models side by side. This allows you to immediately see the difference in size, finish, working height, and ease of use. Our specialists will assist you with honest and personal advice, ensuring you choose a kamado that suits your family, garden, and outdoor cooking style.

What is a kamado barbecue?

You regulate the temperature using the air intake at the bottom and the top vent on top of the kamado. Once the desired temperature is stable, you usually need to make very few adjustments. The charcoal burns efficiently, and dishes retain a lot of moisture and flavor.

It is precisely that combination of control, versatility, and ease of use that makes a kamado suitable for both novice barbecuers and experienced outdoor cooks.

Why choose a ceramic BBQ?

• Grill steaks, burgers, and vegetables directly;
• preparing pulled pork, brisket, and spareribs low and slow;
• baking pizza, bread and casseroles;
• smoking fish, meat and vegetables;
• cooking with a Dutch Oven or cast iron pan.

Moreover, thanks to the good insulation, you can use a kamado all year round. Even at lower outdoor temperatures, the temperature inside the barbecue remains stable.

What size kamado do you need?

A compact kamado is suitable for a smaller household, balcony, camping, or as a second barbecue. These models take up little space, heat up faster, and are often easier to move.

A medium or large kamado is the most practical choice for many families. You have enough space for daily use, but can also cook elaborate meals for family or friends. The large models, in particular, often offer the widest range of accessories and expansion options.

An XLarge or larger model is better suited for people who regularly cook for larger groups, prepare multiple dishes at the same time, or like to work with different temperature zones.

When choosing, do not just look at the diameter of the grill grate. The overall dimensions, working height, base, and the available space in your garden or outdoor kitchen are also important.

Big Green Egg kamado

Big Green Egg is known for its recognizable green appearance, stable temperature control, and wide range of accessories. This allows you to continuously expand and customize the kamado to suit the dishes and cooking techniques you use most.

A Big Green Egg is particularly interesting for those looking for a well-known premium brand with many options to expand the barbecue in the future.

Monolith kamado

Several Monolith kamados are equipped with the Smart Grid System. This allows you to cook at multiple levels and combine direct and indirect zones. The integrated smoke supply system makes it possible to add smoking wood or pellets without opening the lid.

Monolith is therefore a strong choice for enthusiasts who like to experiment with different preparations and want a lot of control over temperature and smoke.

YAKINIKU kamado

The range includes both individual kamados and complete starter sets. This allows you to choose between a basic setup that you expand yourself or a set that lets you get started with various techniques immediately.

YAKINIKU is interesting for those who want a wide choice in size, composition, and price range.

The Bastard kamado

The Core line is suitable for those looking for a modern and versatile kamado for daily use. These models offer a strong foundation for grilling, baking, smoking, and slow cooking.

The Pro line takes things a step further with more attention to premium finish, technical details, and extra control during cooking. This line is a good fit for avid outdoor cooks who use their kamado frequently and enjoy working with different cooking zones and techniques.

The Bastard is therefore suitable for both novice users and experienced kamado enthusiasts who value performance and appearance.

Grill Guru kamado

At BBQ Valley, you will find the Prime Matt Black and Prime Satin Black series. Both series offer the ceramic base and temperature control you expect from a kamado. The main difference lies in the finish and appearance.

Prime Matt Black has a powerful, modern, and matte appearance. Prime Satin Black looks slightly softer and more refined. This allows you to choose not only by size and use, but also by the style that best suits your garden or outdoor kitchen.

Buy a starter set or a standalone kamado?

A complete starter set is especially practical when you are buying a kamado for the first time. You have the most important parts immediately and do not have to figure out yourself which accessories are suitable for your model.

If you already have accessories or want to put together a very specific setup of your own, a standalone kamado might actually be a better choice. Therefore, compare not only the retail price but also the complete contents of the set.

Important accessories for your kamado

Other practical accessories are:

• a core thermometer for measuring the core temperature;
• a cover to protect the kamado;
• a coal basket for better airflow;
• cast iron pans and Dutch Ovens;
• a grate riser or multi-level cooking system;
• a good lighter and high-quality charcoal.

The accessories you need depend on the dishes you want to prepare. That is why, when providing advice, we look not only at the kamado itself, but also at how you intend to use it.

Which charcoal do you use in a kamado?

Lighter wood types heat up faster and are suitable for shorter sessions. Harder charcoal types, such as Quebracho or Marabu, burn longer and can reach high temperatures. As a result, they are popular for longer barbecue sessions and low and slow cooking.

At BBQ Valley, you will find various types of charcoal. We are happy to help you choose which type suits your kamado and the dish you want to prepare.

Our specialists ask what you want to use the kamado for, how many people you usually cook for, and how much space you have available. Your budget and experience also play a role. This way, we do not automatically recommend the largest or most expensive model, but look for the kamado that truly suits your situation.
