WHAT IS A KAMADO?
IT IS AN OVEN, A GRILL, A SMOKER, A GRILL, A SPIEDO, AND A WOK.
The quality of our ceramic and its egg shape provide perfect heat circulation inside the kamado, distributing heat evenly, maintaining moisture, and internal juices.
The Kamado Argentino cooking generates fundamentally three results, it improves the texture of the meat by cooking less aggressively and more evenly, preserves the internal juices, and incorporates more and better flavor from the embers and the smoking chips, all together is MORE FLAVOR. Its ovoid shape, allows the heat to envelop the food, the temperature regulation is precise and stable we can perform cooking from 60ºC to 350ºC.
By cooking hermetically, it is completely safe, there are no possibilities of sparks or flames, it generates very little smoke when using charcoal. No other cooking device is more 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 temperature inside at all and creates an air movement that gives all dishes an exceptional flavor. The possibility of fire is nil, you only need to be careful not to use more coal than necessary (see recommendation for each model) or open it abruptly when 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, WE RECOMMEND THE EXCLUSIVE USE OF KAMADO ARGENTINO CHARCOAL, AS IT ENSURES QUALITY, EFFICIENCY, AND IDEAL HEAT POWER FOR YOUR KAMADO.
The fuel is essential to achieve an excellent cooking experience. We do not recommend using firewood as the sole fuel for the kamado, as it can be quite invasive in cooking, in addition to its low calorific value. Yes, we recommend using a small handful of wood chips to add to the coals, depending on what you cook.
We are into details and that’s why we developed our own line of Kamado Argentino Smoking Chips to give that wood taste to your meals has never been so simple. Learn more at Kamado Argentino Consumables and see how easy it is to Smoke.
The ideal fuel for a Kamado is the White Quebracho charcoal, one of the most prized coals only produced in the Argentine Chaco – Paraguayan, after 2 years of work together with specialists, we managed to develop the Kamado Argentino White Quebracho Charcoal. Due to the hardness of the wood, the calorific value is superior to that of other types of coals and is capable of maintaining a constant permanent temperature thanks to its more compact consistency. Its large pieces provide infinite durability compared to other coals. Ideal for long cooking as its high quality makes it more durable. It also provides better flavor to your meals. And best of all, it’s ours, the white quebracho is a hardwood tree native to the Argentine Chaco, also the Paraguayan Chaco.

HOW TO AVOID SMOKE IN MY KAMADO?
Used correctly and whenever you do not use wood chips to turn it into a smoker, the Kamado Argentino does not generate smoke. This is because the slow combustion of carbon generates a cooking that envelops. This type of less aggressive cooking preserves the juices of the food and prevents dripping onto the embers, the main generator of smoke and odor in cooking. It is very important not to pierce or cut the pieces of meat. See how to avoid smoke in our Kamado Argentino tips.

WHY DOES MY KAMADO HAVE THAT CRACKLE EFFECT?
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 can see some lines that generate a cracked effect, this is normal, it does not represent a defect or a break in itself.
These lines that are generated in the enamel are of vital importance to accompany the expansion and contraction of the Kamado when working at different temperatures. It prevents 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, thanks to the expansion and contraction of the crackle, it will not break.
This detail should not generate any texture, if you run your finger over it, you should not notice it. It can become more noticeable when the kamado has a little dust or volatile ash. Be assured that everything is fine! What you thought was a problem is a solution.
WE TEACH YOU HOW TO CLEAN THE KAMADO AFTER EACH USE
1️. Clean the grill: with a hard-bristle brush or with hot water and detergent
2️. Remove the ashes with our shovel and poker
3️. With a damp cloth, go over every exterior part of your kamado
4️. Remove the accumulated fat from the upper draught while still hot.
IMPORTANT: for safety. Never move the ring or the firebox of your kamado #kamadotip fundamental The MOST important thing is to clean the ashes well, this will allow greater airflow and temperature regulation.
