According to Wikipedia, a kamado is a traditional wood- or charcoal-fired Japanese stove. Americans were introduced to this style of cooking during WWII, and that design has been incorporated into ceramic grills, like these Kamado Grills. This model from Vision Grills is made with a thick ceramic body to retain heat, and they are designed to burn charcoal. They incorporate a slot for an electric charcoal lighter, and they have dual calibrated draft-in dials for heat control, an ash-removal drawer, and a metal top vent.
Inside, you’ll find a dual-tier grill that has 604 square inches of cooking space. This particular model, the Kamado Professional Ceramic Charcoal Grill with Grill Cover, also has two drop-down shelves, and the top has dual springs to help with the lift weight.
This Kamado Professional grill is $699.00 at Home Depot.

We’ve had ours about a year, this exact model in fact, and it’s awesome! We make everything from traditional BBQ stuff to wood fired pizza, and it has never let us down. We bought it to replace a Genesis Silver Alpha gas grill, and it sat unused for so long that we gave it away. The adjustable vent on the top coupled with the two adjustable lower vents makes keeping a set temperature easy. There really is no substitute for charcoal when grilling. If you like to barbeque, you can’t go wrong with this type of grill.
