The Best Ceramic BBQ

The BBQ is ceramic with a luxurious black finish and uses only the finest materials. Our ceramic grills are the best on the market, ideal for anyone looking to get the most out of their BBQ adventures and dishes. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned grill master, the YAKINIKU meets all the requirements for the ultimate grilling experience. The BBQ is ceramic, allowing it to regulate temperatures efficiently. You’ll find the best ceramic BBQ at YAKINIKU.
 

The Ceramic Kamado

The YAKINIKU ceramic Kamado BBQ is designed based on the traditional Japanese model. The oval shape of the versatile Kamado BBQ ensures optimal hot air circulation. The oxygen supply can be carefully controlled by two ventilation slides. This combination allows for enhanced temperature regulation, ensuring you can always set the desired temperature and remain in control of your ceramic grill. You can easily sear a steak on the outside and then let it cook at a lower temperature. YAKINIKU’s ceramic Kamado range now includes 6 models: XXLARGE, XLARGE, LARGE, MEDIUM, COMPACT, and MINI. The diameter of these models ranges from 11 to 24 inches. The two smallest models can be easily placed on a table, and the COMPACT model even comes with a convenient camping stand. The larger models are equipped with a stainless steel stand and bamboo side tables as standard. These models can also be ordered without a stand to create a beautiful outdoor kitchen. Because quality is central to YAKINIKU, all stainless steel parts of the ceramic grills are of type 304. Due to the high heat Kamados can reach, this is the best choice. YAKINIKU’s ceramic BBQs are perfect for all types of cooking, from "low and slow" (+90°C) to "searing" (+400°C).
 

The Ceramic Housing

The success of cooking on YAKINIKU Kamados is thanks to the ceramic housing of the BBQs. The BBQ is made of 33mm thick ceramic combined with cordierite, which allows it to retain heat optimally. The biggest advantage of this is that charcoal consumption is 50 to 70 percent lower compared to an open BBQ where oxygen has free play. Thanks to the high-quality ceramics, the Kamado grill heats up quickly and maintains stable heat for hours. Due to the special compact construction and the thick, high-quality ceramic walls, the Kamado is extremely energy-efficient and economical in its use of charcoal. The ceramic BBQ is also perfect for use in winter, as the glazed ceramic protects against rain and snow, making it weather-resistant. This is what makes YAKINIKU's ceramic Kamado the best.

Top Tips for the Ceramic BBQ

To get the best use out of your YAKINIKU ceramic Kamado, proper preparation is key. Here are some master tips:

Master Tips for Ceramic BBQ

  1. Start by filling the charcoal basket of the ceramic BBQ to the top edge. Always use high-quality charcoal to allow better oxygen circulation.
  2. Next, light the Kamado with two or more natural firelighters. After lighting, open the top and bottom ventilation slides fully. Then close the lid of the ceramic Kamado and allow it to heat up.
  3. When the YAKINIKU ceramic Kamado is heated, you can set the desired temperature by adjusting the ventilation slides. For low-temperature cooking (90-120°C): Open the bottom vent only 2 or 3 centimeters and slightly open the top. Open the ventilation slides further for medium temperatures. Especially when using the heat shield, you will have complete control over even heat in your ceramic Kamado for the best BBQ experience.
  4. With the YAKINIKU ceramic BBQ, you can cook multiple dishes at the same time. For this, use the XLARGE and LARGE ceramic Kamados. Combined with the pro set, different cooking methods are possible. You can grill with direct and indirect heat on your ceramic Kamado, allowing for various cooking methods during your grilling session.
  5. Want to bake bread or pizza on your ceramic Kamado? That’s also no problem. Open the bottom ventilation slide even more. As a general rule, the more air that flows through and the more charcoal in the combustion chamber, the higher the temperature.
  6. You can read the temperature on the YAKINIKU Kamado’s thermometer in the lid.
  7. Once grilling is finished, close both ventilation slides completely. The fire will suffocate due to the lack of oxygen, and the ceramic Kamado will go out. The leftover charcoal can be reused the next day.
  8. To make optimal use of your ceramic BBQ, it is important to maintain your Kamado properly. Be sure to clean your ceramic BBQ regularly.
