Choose the best kamado accessories for your barbecue experience

A kamado offers endless possibilities, but with the right accessories, you truly get the most out of it. Some accessories are essential for safe and efficient barbecuing, while others make cooking easier, more fun, and tastier. In this article, we list the most important kamado accessories, from must-haves to handy extras.

Essential accessories for every kamado

Before you start grilling or slow cooking, there are a number of accessories you really can't do without. These accessories ensure better temperature control, easier maintenance, and maximum performance.

Heat shield

A heat shield is crucial for indirect cooking. It forms a barrier between the fire and your dish, allowing you to cook slowly without burning. Ideal for pulled pork, spare ribs, or even pies. Please note that heat shields are brand-specific, so use the one that matches your kamado. For example, use a convEGGtor with a Big Green Egg and a deflector stone with a Monolith.

Coal basket and ash tray

A charcoal basket ensures better air circulation and makes cleanup easier. Shake out the basket so you can reuse the remaining charcoal. Additionally, the basket provides better airflow, allowing you to better control the temperature in your kamado. Combine this with an ash catcher, and you will never have to fumble with ash residue afterwards.

Good charcoal

The right fuel determines your result. We recommend charcoal from Smokin' Flavours, such as Quebracho or European Oak. Each type has its own burn time and flavor experience. Discover what suits your barbecuing style.

Light with firelighters

Natural firelighters from Smokin' Flavours are odorless, clean, and efficient. Two pieces are sufficient to get your Kamado lit quickly, without chemicals or unpleasant aftertastes.

Handy tools for barbecuing
