London Sunshine Cadet 13 Inch Kamado - Small Kamado Grill

What size is this small kamado grill?

The ceramic body is 13 inches (33cm) across. The cooking grid is 27.5cm. The assembled grill is about 35 x 40.5 x 55cm and weighs 21kg. It suits small families or two to three people.

Can I use it as a mini kamado grill on a table?

Yes. It is sold as a portable tabletop model. The steel stand lifts it clear of the surface, but the ceramic gets very hot. Use a heat-proof, stable table and keep it away from anything that burns.

What temperature does it reach?

The range is 82°C to 399°C. Keep the vents low for slow smoking and open them for searing. The lid thermometer shows the dome temperature while you cook.

Is it a kamado grill and smoker?

Yes. The ceramic body holds low heat for hours, so it smokes meat as well as grilling. People also use it as a small oven for baking and roasting.

How do I cook on a kamado grill?

Light the charcoal in the fire bowl and leave the lid open for a few minutes. Close the lid and set the vents. Wait for the thermometer to settle at the heat you want, then add the food.

Does it come assembled?

The body and lid are already pre-assembled. You attach the bamboo handles and put together the steel stand. The job takes a few minutes.

What fuel does it use?

It burns charcoal. Lump charcoal or briquettes both work. The ceramic wall keeps the heat in, so it uses less fuel than a thin metal grill.

Can it be taken camping?

It weighs 21kg, so it is better for the boot of a car than a backpack. The handles help with lifting. Let the ceramic cool fully before packing it away.
