The quality of our ceramic and its egg shape provide perfect heat circulation within the kamado, distributing it evenly, maintaining moisture, and internal juices.
Cooking with Kamado Argentino primarily yields three results: it improves the texture by cooking less aggressively and more evenly, preserves internal juices, and incorporates the flavor of charcoal and smoking chips, all of which results in MORE FLAVOR. Its ovoid shape allows heat to envelop the food, and temperature regulation is precise and stable, allowing for cooking temperatures ranging from 60ºC to 350ºC.
Cooking hermetically is completely safe; there are no possibilities of sparks or flames, and it produces very little smoke when using charcoal. No other cooking device is as insulating and resistant to weather conditions, allowing cooking under the sun, rain, or even in the middle of a snowfall. The external temperature does not affect the interior temperature at all and creates an airflow that gives all dishes an exceptional flavor. The risk of fire is nonexistent; only caution is needed not to use excessive charcoal (see recommendation for each model) or open it abruptly while it is working. The only safety measure is to open it in two steps, as indicated in our temperature control video.
The kamado cooks with embers, and we recommend the exclusive use of Kamado Argentino Charcoal, as it ensures quality, efficiency, and the ideal calorific power for your Kamado. The fuel is essential to achieve an excellent cooking experience. We do not recommend using wood as the sole fuel for the kamado, as it can be quite invasive in cooking, in addition to its low calorific power. However, we do recommend using a small handful of wood chips to add to the embers, depending on what you’re cooking.
We pay attention to details, which is why we have developed our own line of Kamado Argentino Smoking Chips to give that wood-fired touch to your meals. Smoking has never been so simple. Learn more about Kamado Argentino Consumables and see how easy it is to smoke.
The ideal fuel for a Kamado is Quebracho Blanco charcoal, one of the most prized charcoals produced only in the Argentine Chaco-Paraguayan region. After two years of work with specialists, we managed to develop Kamado Argentino Quebracho Blanco Charcoal. Due to the hardness of the wood, its calorific power is superior to that of other types of charcoal, and it can maintain a constant, permanent temperature thanks to its more compact consistency. Its large pieces provide endless durability compared to other charcoals, making it ideal for long cooking sessions. It also imparts a better flavor to your meals. And the best part is that it’s ours; Quebracho Blanco is a hardwood tree native to the Argentine Chaco and the Paraguayan Chaco.
From these two videos, you can see the best options for lighting your Kamado:
1. Use our Kamado Lighter: You’ll have embers in 2 minutes!
2. Use our Electric Starter: Resistance to have the embers ready in no time!
3. Solid Alcohol Tablets: We recommend our lighting tablets. You can light up in less than 1 minute, odorless, explosion-free, and ECOLOGICAL. Just one tablet can light up any model.
4. Cotton and alcohol 👉 simple and easy
When used correctly and as long as you don’t use wood chips to turn it into a smoker, the Kamado Argentino doesn’t produce smoke. This is because the slow combustion of charcoal generates enveloping heat, resulting in a less aggressive cooking process. This method preserves the juices of the food and prevents dripping onto the coals, which is the main cause of smoke and odor during cooking. It’s essential not to pierce or cut the meat pieces. Check out our tips on avoiding smoke with Kamado Argentino.
Controlling the temperature of the kamado allows you to take advantage of different cooking techniques. To become an expert, this is the first step.
La forma más sencilla de recrear el sabor a leña de la mano de #kamadoargentino 🔥
Como siempre, ahi va el #kamadotip más importante 👇🏼
👉🏼 Qué intensidad de astillas para cada comida❓
🍖 INTENSO: carne de vaca, cordero y cerdo.
🍗 MEDIO: pollo y pavo.
🥘 SUAVE: pescados, mariscos y vegetales.

Mantene tu kamado siempre impecable👌🏻 Como todo miembro de la familia, va creciendo y cumpliendo sus años, pero eso no impide que siempre parezca joven
¿Por qué cambiarlo?
Cuando se gasta el fieltro luego de mucho uso, tu kamado puede comenzar a cerrar mal, esto hará que pierdas temperatura
Por eso te enseñamos a cambiarlo,
1. Despega el fieltro viejo y limpia bien la zona donde estaba pegado
2. Corta el fieltro a la medida de tu kamado, lo pegas con un pegamento apto para altas temperaturas
3. Cerramos y dejamos secar por 24 horas ⏱️
4. Pasadas las 24 hs tu Kamado Argentino está listo para usar!!
The Kamado Argentino is handcrafted and has a vitreous enamel on its exterior that gives it its color and texture. If you look very closely, you may notice some lines that create a cracked effect; this is normal and doesn’t represent a defect or breakage in itself.
These lines that appear in the enamel are vital for accommodating the expansion and contraction of the Kamado when working at different temperatures, preventing breakage or cracks. Just like with thermal shock, you can take your kamado to 350 degrees Celsius and cook in the middle of the snow, and thanks to the expansion and contraction of the cracking, it won’t break.
This detail shouldn’t create any texture; if you run your finger over it, you shouldn’t notice it. It may become more noticeable when the kamado has a bit of dust or volatile ash. Rest assured that everything is fine! What you thought was a problem is actually a solution.

ABOUT THE COMPOSITION OF THE KAMADO:
In 2016, our team visited the four most important Kamado manufacturers in the world. Upon returning from that trip, we reached an agreement for the best manufacturer in our opinion to exclusively produce our kamados using raw materials developed locally by CETMI. Each batch we import is controlled by this same company to ensure stability. The design of the raw materials and the quality control we apply enable us to offer a 5-year warranty on our entire line of kamados. The raw material used consists of a ceramic compound with higher refractoriness for the interior parts and a higher presence of clay and mud for the exterior parts.
We are the only company in South America with a contract of this nature.
