22" Ceramic Kamado Charcoal Grill

The 22-inch Ceramic Kamado is a 604 sq in charcoal kamado grill rated up to 700F with a gloss-black ceramic body.

$1,299Approx. MSRP

A good budget-friendly alternative to premium ceramic kamados like the Big Green Egg for a beginner who wants charcoal versatility; skip it if easy ash cleanout and roomy smoking clearance are top priorities.

Pros

  • Strong owner satisfaction reported, especially among Costco buyers
  • Thick ceramic body for strong heat retention
  • Two-tier cooking surface for smoking, baking, searing, and roasting
  • 5-year warranty on parts and electrical components
  • Built to last (ceramic body, cold-rolled steel trim, stainless steel cooking grids)

Watch-outs

  • Small ash cleanout opening is inconvenient
  • Grate placement close to the deflector limits smoking clearance
  • Requires lump charcoal, since briquettes create excess dust/ash that settles on food
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Ash cleanout opening reported too small and awkward to use by some owners
  • Bottom grill grate sits close to the heat deflector, which some owners feel limits smoking clearance
