The ceramic wall has a huge heat storage capacity, which can effectively absorb heat for several hours and keep the temperature between 50-800 degrees! The heavy-duty ceramic structure and egg-shaped design are also conducive to the fuel efficiency of the barbecue. The thick sides conserve heat well, and almost no charcoal and oxygen are needed to continue fueling the fire.
For the price, this little kamado grill performed well! It came up to temp quickly, since it’s small. It cooked our steaks well.
Even with the vents choked off, it took a while for it to come down in temp, probably because it’s more efficient than a regular charcoal grill. Please plan for that time.
Otherwise, the packaging was sufficient; there were no chips or cracks. The frame was easy to assemble, although the grill doesn’t fit in the frame perfectly (slightly tilted back). That was ok to manage; I still gave it 5 stars, because it’s a good deal.. Mike. Yorba Linda, CA. Sun Jun 01 2025
