After a year as a newbie smoker

I looked around and decided to get the Blaze Kamado because of the aluminum construction and stainless steel components. I would definitely buy it again just for that. I can say that most of the challenges have been from not having much experience smoking, and the Blaze has been very forgiving. It holds temps well and cleans up like a dream. I just throw everything in the dishwasher, scrape down the sides into the ash pan to easily lift out and, ready to go again. I got the half moon stainless deflector plates and the rotisserie kit. I can use the rotisserie drip pan for a water bath for long smokes. After having given up all hope to become a master, I bought a temp controller and blower fan with a universal adapter and was able to find a company that makes a universal receiver that fits the Blaze. My husband rigged a basket that fits perfectly so I can just lift out the unused charcoal, which would be really messy otherwise. So that would be one area for improvement, as it took a long time to research optimizing and I am not sure everyone would have the time to find the gadgets here and there to make it work. But it was worth it. The only other thing I wish I had was better access to the bottom with a bigger vent. I would love to slip in a tray so I can add wood chips during a smoke. If this ever came out with a larger size and more accessories, I bet one of my kids would be ecstatic to get this as a hand-me-down because I wouldn't be able to resist.

Don't touch the truck, dog or grill the wife you will bring

There is a learning curve. I could set it to run 180 for as long as my heart desires. I smoke, broil rotisserie you name it you can do it. Close the air vents and reuse the charcoal. Very efficient, it has serial number on the bottom, I carved my name and phone number with a hammer and a screwdriver when I was smoking. I have been a full time camper for 2 yrs very durable can't see how anyone could not love this. Only con is if it is 400 on the inside it is 400 on the outside. I have used this in Pa too Florida It is heavy.

Modern tech meets Kamado for the win

This grill is a work of art, indestructible and works like a charm. The fit and finish is 5 star, machining is aircraft quality. It was a treat for me and it's well worth every penny. It holds heat like a Boss and I mean it. I bought in November of 2021 and have only used it in Alaskan winter. it is the real deal. 100% would recommend. It's between sizes of a "Green Egg Large and XL. Plenty bog enough for Turkey, Prime Rib, Brisket of smaller items for 6-8. Can't wait to get the rotisserie kit and the indirect charcoal basket. I have the stainless handles and the stainless rolling cart. They are equally as well made. Forget the price and buy this grill. put it on your homeowners insurance and in your will because it will outlast you.

Zero regrets......only wish I bought it sooner!

I will not besmirch my prior ceramic kamado grill as it served me well for many years BUT I am glad I no longer have to worry about cracking fireboxes, flaking glaze and rusty steel bands. This Blaze Kamado is bombproof. Period. Maintaining and adjusting temperature is a breeze like any other kamado after a brief learning curve. I have zero issues maintaining 225 all day on a single load, 550 for pizza cooks and even 700 for a short time as a "self cleaning" mode. I have seen some concerns about maintaining temps in the cold or during rain but I have had zero issues. I find no downsides to this aluminum kamado vs. it's ceramic counterparts. It may cost a bit more but for me it was worth it for the heavy duty build........the hinge, grates, vents are all a step above in quality and stoutness. Not much else to say, simply a fantastic kamado......great job Blaze! ******I did have a warranty issue with my main cooking grate shortly after purchase (a failed weld) and a replacement was sent to me with zero hassle. I am less concerned about the issue (things happen) than I am with how the company dealt with it and I gotta say they were outstanding.

Very happy with purchase

This is my first Kamado and first charcoal grill. I have been able to both grill and smoke and have a solid base to learn on. The grill is ridiculously sturdy, easy to clean and just a great piece of equipment

Best grill ever!

This is by far the best grill I have ever used! It makes grilling so easy for the perfect family cookout! Can't wait to do a slow and low cook on it as it definitely holds temps more steady than any other grill I have used. I would absolutely buy this grill again, but definitely will not have to because of its indestructible construction!

Last grill you'll ever need to buy

I spent months researching kamado grills, even bought a small ceramic that was on sale for $200 before investing a ton of money in "The Real McCoy" to see that I would like a kamado at all over a gas or other charcoal grills I've used in the past. I finally bit the bullet and took the plunge. A few factors that made this my clear choice before buying it and falling deeper in love with it... #1 I was looking at the kamado joe 24" and the weight was just shy of 500lbs, I plan on moving in a couple years that's not something I want to lug around. The blaze is only about 170lbs. #2 in under a year my small ceramic was due to need new gaskets. The old ones had already worn out. The blaze doesn't use gaskets, it has a tongue and groove seals completely. #3 The blaze comes with a lifetime warranty, also in just under a year the fire bowl cracked on my ceramic grill. When I contacted the company they said that it didn't cover cracked Ceramic, they just informed me that it was probably from the grill cooling to quickly and I was responsible for the replacement. This leads to #4 the blaze doesn't use a fire bowl it just has three rows of grates, the lower for charcoal, the middle mainly for a heat deflector and the top one is self explanatory, this means wall to wall useable space. On my 15" ceramic only 13" was able to be used for a cook surface, you don't have to worry about your food hanging over the edge of the fire bowl and not getting even heat distribution or a mess running down the sides of the fire bowl. Lastly, cleaning the ash out is a breeze because the whole bottom is covered by a removable ash pan. I say last but that's just the last thing that was a deciding factor before I bought it. I've found many reasons it is a superior Cooker. Yes "cooker" because it's not just a grill or a smoker, it's extremely versatile, I use it for high heat searing, low and slow smoking, I got a pizza steel and it's a great pizza oven, and even do stuff in my dutch oven.

The Skinny:

  • Industry first, solid cast aluminum kamado grill
  • Best in class lifetime warranty inside and out
  • Incredible cooking performance
  • Virtually indestructible
  • Beautifully blends with your stainless outdoor kitchen equipment

Things We Love:

If you've always wanted a ceramic kamado, but have been concerned about their potential for cracking or breaking, you can absolutely put away your fears with this Blaze Kamado! This grill is virtually indestructible and could literally last forever. It's made of an industry first, solid cast aluminum, and their slogan could not be more appropriate - this kamado is "just that tough"! You can even take it camping or tailgating without fear and cringing over every bump in the road. I also just love the way this grill looks! With it's beautiful silver finish and 304 stainless accents, it will seamlessly blend with the rest of your stainless steel equipment in your outdoor kitchen.

If you've read my other reviews or watched any of my videos, you know how much I love kamado cooking. As far as cooking performance, this Blaze Kamado is right up there with the best of them! Heat retention is one of the most important features of a kamado grill, which are known for holding their temperature during long cooks, and the Blaze kamado is no exception. I found the thick cast aluminum walls to hold heat just as well as the ceramic kamados I've cooked on for years. I also like the unique tongue-and-groove design, which seals the grill lid tight to the base, allowing very little to no heat escape. Ceramic kamados utilize a gasket to achieve their seal but those gaskets need replacing from time to time. Along with the solid heat retention, the heat control is top notch. The lower air intake features a multi-function door with a dial for precise control and the built-in, cast aluminum top air vent, allows you to easily set the vent opening, and it stays put even when lifting the lid.

Speaking of lifting the lid, 304 series stainless steel lift-assist hinges allow for very easy opening. You can really feel the difference if you've lifted other kamado lids, which tend be be bulky and kinda heavy.

Under the hood, you'll find a 20-inch stainless steel hex grill grate. The grate is made of 12mm 304-grade stainless steel, providing amazing heat retention and a large surface area for beautiful sear marks. The grates also feature two hinged sections, which makes adding charcoal or wood chunks a breeze. Underneath this main cooking grid is an 18 inch, equally thick, 304 stainless steel, multi-purpose grate. You can actually cook food on this grate and the top grate at the same time, which almost doubles your cooking space, or you can set a pan of liquid or a heat deflector on it when indirect cooking. Under the multi-purpose grate is an equally thick, 304 stainless steel charcoal grate. When it's time to clean out the ashes, I love the full width, lift out ash pan. That pan is certainly more convenient and effective than scraping out the ashes on a regular ceramic kamado.

Another neat benefit of the Blaze Kamado's cast aluminum construction, is that it can handle any fuel source, even regular charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid, unlike ceramic kamados with their porous nature. Personally, I would always recommend cooking with lump charcoal but it is nice to know you can use briquettes and lighter fluid in a pinch.

As for accessories, the rotisserie accessory with separate charcoal basket is an awesome add-on and I like how the 304 stainless steel side shelves are so sturdy.

Finally, I love this grill's warranty. The Blaze Kamado is backed by a best in class lifetime warranty on all of the grill's components - that's all components inside and out. I'm not sure how it's possible to break anything on this grill, but you can have confidence in knowing that Blaze will stand behind your grill for a lifetime.

Things To Consider:

While the full width ash pan is a nice and effective feature, you have to remove all three grates in order to lift it out for clean up.

You'll Like This Grill If:

If you want the toughest kamado grill on the market, backed by a best in class lifetime warranty, that looks and cooks great too.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we’ve all come to expect for small parcels, so it’s important that you’re prepared and understand what’s required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We’ll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can’t be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we’ve only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don’t require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren’t required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you’re home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you’re out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
