BRANDS - Monolith

Why choose a Monolith kamado?

A Monolith kamado is a ceramic BBQ that allows you to grill, smoke, bake, cook indirectly, and cook at low temperatures for extended periods. The ceramic retains heat efficiently, and by precisely regulating the airflow, you can work calmly at both low temperatures and high grilling temperatures.

Monolith combines ceramics with practical systems that make outdoor cooking more flexible. Depending on the model, you get access to solutions such as the Smart Grid System, split grates, deflector stones, a split charcoal basket, and the well-known chip feeder system that allows you to add smoking wood without having to open the lid every time.

Which Monolith kamado suits you?

The most important choice is not just which model you find attractive, but above all how much grilling space and flexibility you need. The current Monolith line ranges from compact models like ICON and Junior to the large .66 models.

Choose Monolith .55 or .66?

For many home users, a Monolith .55 is the most practical size. You have enough space for complete meals, while the kamado remains easy to use and position. Within this size, you can choose from the ONE.55, TWO.55, and Avantgarde.55.

The .66 models are interesting if you regularly cook for larger groups, prepare large cuts of meat, or want to perform various preparations simultaneously. Within this size, there are the ONE.66, TWO.66, and Avantgarde.66.

You still frequently encounter the names Classic and LeChef on older Monolith models and accessories. The current TWO.55 uses the familiar Classic size. The larger TWO.66 falls within the size that many Monolith users know as LeChef. This is especially important when you want to combine existing accessories with a new kamado.

What is the difference between Monolith ONE and TWO?

The Monolith ONE is an interesting option if you are primarily looking for a powerful ceramic BBQ without immediately opting for the most comprehensive version. The TWO is aimed at the outdoor cook who wants more options to combine cooking zones, grill heights, and various cooking methods.

For someone who mainly wants to grill normally, cook indirectly, bake pizza, and occasionally cook low and slow, a ONE can be a logical choice. If you want to make more intensive use of different temperature zones and further expand the Monolith system, then a TWO is the more obvious choice.

What makes the Monolith TWO special?

The TWO series has been developed around flexibility. The Smart Grid System makes it possible to use different grates and heat shields independently of each other. This allows you, for example, to grill directly on one side while cooking indirectly on the other.

The chip feeder system is also characteristic of Monolith. This allows you to add smoking wood without fully opening the lid. This helps keep the temperature stable during a longer smoking session.

Check out the Monolith TWO.55 if you are looking for the popular .55 size. If you need more grilling space, check out the Monolith TWO.66 .

What is Monolith Avantgarde?

Monolith Avantgarde is the premium line within the range. The basis remains a high-quality ceramic kamado, but the design has been further refined with a modern finish and extra attention to materials and ease of use.

The Avantgarde is available in .55 and .66. This allows you to make the same important size choice as with the other Monolith models, but in the most luxurious finish.

Monolith ICON or Junior?

ICON and Junior are the compact models within the Monolith range. They are ideal when space is limited, when cooking for smaller groups, or when you want to use a second ceramic BBQ alongside a larger kamado.

The Junior features the recognizable traditional kamado construction in a compact size. ICON is even more focused on compact and flexible use. Which of the two suits you best therefore depends primarily on the desired cooking space and how you intend to use the kamado.

Monolith accessories and extensions

An important advantage of Monolith is the wide range of accessories. You can expand a kamado for, for example, pizza baking, rotisserie, wok cooking, plancha preparation, extra grill levels, and various direct and indirect cooking zones.

Always pay attention to the size of your kamado when choosing accessories. Accessories for .55, .66, Junior, and ICON are not automatically interchangeable.

Therefore, view our complete range of Monolith accessories and choose accessories that fit your model.
