Gas vs. Ceramic Kamado Grills: What's the Difference?
Gas and ceramic kamado grills cook very differently. The right one depends on how you like to cook.
Gas grills: fast, simple and consistent
Gas grills heat up quickly, give you direct temperature control and are easy to use on a weeknight. They fit steaks, burgers, chicken and vegetables, and many models add side burners or rotisseries. They are available as built-in units for an outdoor kitchen or on carts.
Ceramic kamado grills: versatile and slow-and-low
A ceramic kamado burns charcoal in a thick, insulated shell that holds steady temperatures for a long time. One cooker can sear, smoke, roast and bake. It is a strong fit if you enjoy hands-on cooking and want smoky flavor. It takes longer to get started than a gas grill and uses charcoal.
Which should you choose?
- Choose gas if you want convenience, quick starts and a built-in option.
- Choose ceramic kamado if you want smoking, baking and searing in one cooker, and you enjoy the process.
- Many outdoor kitchens include both: a gas grill for everyday meals and a kamado for weekend projects.
