Ynni Kamado TQ0015BL (15.7", Black)

What cooking capacity does the 15.7" kamado provide?

The TQ0015BL offers 907 square cm (140 square inches) of cooking space with a 40cm grill diameter. This capacity handles six burgers or chicken breasts simultaneously, making it ideal for small families or couples. The extra depth design accommodates deflector plates for indirect cooking and allows vertical cooking methods like beer can chicken that many compact grills cannot handle.

How much does this kamado weigh and is assembly required?

The net weight is 38kg, with shipping weight of 44kg including packaging. Assembly is required but takes approximately 10 minutes with the included instruction video. The main assembly involves attaching the black powder-coated stand to the ceramic base. Despite the substantial weight, the compact size makes it suitable for smaller outdoor spaces and balconies.

What warranty coverage is included with this kamado?

The ceramic components carry a 20-year warranty against manufacturing defects, whilst metal parts including the temperature gauge and cover have a 1-year warranty. Side shelves (if purchased separately) have a 90-day warranty. The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser. This extensive ceramic warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability.

Can this kamado be used for both grilling and smoking?

Yes, the ceramic construction and adjustable air vents allow temperature control from low-and-slow smoking (around 107°C) to high-heat searing (over 370°C). The included deflector system enables indirect cooking for smoking and roasting. The excellent heat retention properties of ceramic make it particularly effective for maintaining steady temperatures during long smoking sessions.

What fuel type should be used and what's the consumption rate?

Lump charcoal is always recommended for best results, though charcoal briquettes can also be used. The ceramic construction's excellent heat retention means lower fuel consumption compared to metal grills. A typical cooking session uses significantly less charcoal than traditional barbecues, with the ability to maintain temperatures for hours on a single load of fuel.

Are extension legs available for floor mounting?

Yes, extension legs (model TQHLS15) are available separately to convert the table-mountable stand to floor mounting. This accessory raises the cooking height to a more comfortable level for extended cooking sessions. The extension legs maintain the same stability as the table mount whilst providing the convenience of a full-height barbecue station.

What accessories are available for this kamado model?

A massive range of accessories is available, including deflector plates, pizza stones, side tables, covers and cooking grids. Popular bundles include TQTT15BL and TQ0015BLN which combine the grill with frequently used accessories. The UK-based retailer maintains large stock levels of accessories and spare parts, ensuring quick availability for customisation and maintenance needs.

How does the removable thermometer system work?

The dual thermometer system includes a permanent ergonomic thermometer with cooking temperature zones plus a removable second thermometer. When the removable unit is taken out, it provides uncluttered access for digital probe thermometers whilst maintaining visual temperature monitoring through the primary gauge. This design allows professional-level temperature monitoring without compromising the kamado's clean appearance.
