The History of the
Kamado Grill and Smoker
You know, Like "The Big Green Egg", and
other Egg shaped BBQ Grill-Smokers.
The Kamado grill is my choice for a smoker and charcoal bbq as they can do both
with incredible results. You can also cook in a cast iron skillet like a stove,
and add a pizza stone to cook a pizza at 800 degrees like a wood fired stove.
I don't say incredible lightly because I have cooked on all kinds
of smokers and charcoal BBQs for 50 years.
Incredible because for a smoker, you have 3 inch thick walls,
adjustable air intake, and non flamable felt gasket, and nice heavy,
dome shaped ceramic lid to close down and make a great seal.
So the heat stays in, and you can dial down the air intake so
the fuel burns slow and is economical, with the nice seal stays even and with
the dome
like lid and round base the smoke circulates evenly and non stop around the food.
As a BBQ Grill the chamber being 3 inch ceramic, holds in the heat and you can
achieve temperatures up to 800 degrees+ for excellent searing, but you can create
temperature zones for slower cooking.
I will use 3 different types of BBQ for out door cooking,
One is the Weber Q series that I use for a quick grilling.
I also use a very portable little Coleman 4 in 1 cooking system
That can be a BBQ, Wok, Stove or Grill.
I will with you explore the Horizons that you can do with these 3 BBQs,
that has more depth because we explore the history and evolution
of the art our caveman ancestors started.
By the end of the summer I hope to have developed a successful
project that we can look back on with satisfaction.
What a great feeling, yes I think, one of the best,
when you learn new things and exand your skills.
So I thought I would do some research on the Kamado Grill,
when, where and why it was invented.
I think you will find it fascinating and well worth your while.

what and how to buy a Kamado Grill and if
it is something that would be the right fit for you.
I haver a Pit Boss, which is very much like the
Kamado Joe that is very prevalent.
