Key Features
- Combines the heat retention of a kamado with the precise temperature of a pellet grill

Impress your friends and family with the first ever kamado style pellet grill. The patented design of the porcelain enameled, ceramic shell allows this grill to retain heat at temperatures that range from 150 to an excess of 650 degrees Fahrenheit, making it perfect for smoking and searing your favorite foods. The cast iron grill grate provides 290 square inches of cooking area and evenly distributes heat, eliminating hot and cold spots for perfectly cooked food. Underneath the grill grate, the pellet engine creates 50,000 BTUs of heat with a constant flame. The exterior of the grill features a steel smoker cap that protects the grill area from the elements and debris. This smoker cap also allows for better heat control with no adjusting. Each side of this grill has an enamel coated, steel shelf to provide extra work space while cooking. The left shelf includes three stainless steel pegs for utensil storage while the right shelf has an 11-pound pellet hopper and control panel seamlessly built in. The simplified controls help you to maintain accuracy for consistent grilling. To ignite the grill, simply flick the switch to smoke or grill mode and turn the knob to the start setting. Ignition time only takes 2 minutes. Heat and temperature can then be adjusted and controlled using the built-in temperature gauge and control knob with low, medium and high settings. When set in smoke mode, the grill will consistently push 2,000 BTUs for up to 40 hours on a full hopper. A triple spring hinge and bamboo handle make lifting your grill lid easy. The heavy duty triple spring hinge provides support and stability when lifting while the bamboo handle stays cool to the touch. The bottom of the unit features two wheels that make moving and maneuvering your grill easy. Requires 115V of power for auto-start ignition. The grill cover & grill gripper tool are included with the grill for a complete package.

The Skinny:
Only pellet style kamado on market; quick start-up; large hopper allows countless hours of smoking; temperature control allows you to smoke low and slow and then finish with a sear.

Things To Love:
The Black Olive pellet grill is the world's first pellet/kamado hybrid. It combines the best features from each style grill to make a quick starting smoker that can hold temperature better than traditional a barbeque. Unlike most kamados, this grill has an electronic ignition which can have your grill lit in less than two minutes, and can be ready to grill in five to ten minutes. The auger motor feeds pellets from the hopper directly into the firebox as needed to hold the set temperature; meaning you don't have to worry about tending to your coals or buying a separate temperature controller. The large capacity hopper can hold 11 pounds of pellets, allowing you to smoke for about 40 hours straight without needing to refill it.
Because the temperature can be adjusted so quickly, you have the ability to go low and slow at 225°F for a few hours and then crank it up to 650°F to finish it off with a nice sear. We also like the cast iron cooking grate that comes standard with this grill. Cast iron is good for distributing the heat evenly and leaves great sear marks in your food, however you will need to take extra care with them.
Things To Consider:
As you would expect with most grills, with innovation comes a price tag. This grill is more expensive than any other kamado its size, but it is right in line price-wise with other high-end pellet grills. It is important to remember, however, that this is the only grill of its kind, so to say it is priced too high would be unfair. For the price, we would like to see this grill have some of the features you get in higher-end pellet grills, such as digital temperature display so that you can set a precise temperature.
The more moving parts that you put into a grill, the greater the potential of something going wrong. This grill is filled with mechanical parts, but luckily the auger features an open design, so if anything gets stuck, you should be able to get it moving again. Also, Black Olive backs up their electrical components with a three year warranty, which is about as good as you can expect for electrical parts.
