KAMADO A-GO-GO!

Get it all in your grill with the latest addition to Weber’s sizeable

BBQ arsenal, the fabulous and versatile Summit Kamado

Contrary to what you might be thinking,

a kamado is not a type of scary lizard

• although it can belch fire and is
  probably not the greatest news for your
  livestock. No, a kamado is a type of
  outdoor cooking apparatus – the term
  ‘charcoal barbecue’ seems reductive
  here – that could revolutionise your al
  fresco cooking this summer. Which is
  actually not that far away, despite what
  a peek out of your window right now
  might suggest.
  Probably the best known kamado grill/
  oven is the Green Egg and its many
  imitators. These monsters resemble
  eggs from Alien, although something
  much more pleasant usually comes out
  of them. Weber’s new kamado on the
  block, however, looks a lot more like a
  traditional kettle barbecue, albeit a rather
  large one that’s been built to some sort
  of military specification.
  The World’s Number One Barbecue
  Brand® aims to take the kamado ‘into the
  future’ – and into more UK homes – with
  the Summit (£999, weber.com). But what
  is so special about these seriously
  sizeable BBQs?
  In a word: versatility. And in some
  other words: precision, consistency and

ruthless efficiency. The Summit Kamado

comes up to temperature at speed, and

offers a tightly controlled temperature

range that means you can do everything

from red-hot searing to low-’n’-slow

smoking. Just fire up your charcoal and

get grilling on the humongous, 24-inch

cooking area.

With our gardens more important than

ever this year, people will want to get out

there earlier and make more of their

outdoor spaces. The Kamado Summit

makes the ideal centrepiece, taking your

hob and oven outdoors. Its controllability

and fuel-efficiency – kamados use way

less charcoal than traditional BBQs –

mean it can be used even by beginners,

but its versatility means more adventurous

grillers will never run of new things to try.

There’s even a top-end model that

features gas ignition, so you don’t have

to dick about with lighter fuel and bits

of burning newspaper.

Built to last for decades, the Summit

Kamado is also easy to clean and easy to

manoeuvre thanks to heavy duty casters.

The stakes have never been higher than in

2021, and with a beast like this in your

yard, the steaks (or vegan equivalent) have

never been better.
