$2,299Approx. MSRP
Great forlow-and-slow smokingsearing steaksreal charcoal flavor

A reasonable pick for someone who wants kamado-style versatility with less breakage risk than ceramic, but a dedicated pitmaster doing 12+ hour smokes may prefer a ceramic kamado's better fuel efficiency.

Pros

  • Cast aluminum body won't crack the way ceramic kamados can from bumps or thermal shock
  • Lifetime warranty on the body
  • Versatile for both low-and-slow smoking and high-heat cooking
  • Built to last (cast aluminum body up to 1.25 in thick; 12mm hex stainless cooking grate)
  • Ceramic holds heat and moisture — grill, smoke or bake

Watch-outs

  • Burns through charcoal faster than a ceramic kamado on extended smokes
  • Built-in thermometer accuracy is inconsistent
  • Non-standard 20-inch size limits compatible accessories mostly to Blaze's own
  • Tight cooking area (315 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • dome thermometer can run 10-15°F off and fogs up over time
  • lower fuel efficiency than ceramic kamados, needs more frequent charcoal reloading on long cooks
  • top handle gets very hot and can burn hands without a glove
  • some owners report issues with the control/vent tower
