Heat Deflectors

If you want to cook two dishes at once on the same grill, heat deflectors are the way to go. These plates create a barrier between your heat source and your food, providing indirect heat, which is essential for smoking, baking, and creating separate temperature zones. Primo’s cast iron firebox divider, for example, separates your Primo Oval kamado into two distinct zones for dual zone cooking. Heat deflectors are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials to suit your grill. Shop Heat Deflectors

Extended Cooking Racks

Extended cooking racks are essential for those who love to multitask. Simply place it above your existing grates to give your grill an entirely new cooking surface. With so much extra space to work with, you may never go back to single-tier cooking! Typically, most kamado grills don’t come with these secondary grilling racks out of the box, so for feeding large crowds or cooking a wide variety of dishes, these make all the difference.

Sear Grates

Kamado grills make it easy to produce roaring hot temperatures. For steak lovers of all kinds, searing grates are the easiest way to achieve that steakhouse-level heat on the thickest cuts of meat. Arrange veggies around the outer edge while your meat sizzles above the flame to take advantage of direct and indirect heat at once. Shop Kamado Sear Grates

Remote Barbecue Thermometers

The only thing better than knowing your food's temperature at a glance is not having to babysit your grill to do it. Remote barbecue thermometers let you work around the house, clean dishes in the kitchen, entertain guests, or grab a drink from the fridge. Thermometers are the only way to know when food is done, and wireless remote models give you notifications at your fingertips giving you more flexibility for your day. Shop Remote BBQ Thermometers

Forced Air Temp Controllers

Managing a kamado's temperature is as easy as opening or closing the top and bottom airflow dampers. Closing these vents removes access to oxygen while opening them feeds more oxygen to the fire. More airflow means more fire. The downside of this is that this style of temperature control isn’t sustainable for long cooks. That's why a temperature controller is a handy accessory to have. Attaching one to the bottom of your kamado regulates airflow, keeping your temperature steady for hours. Shop Forced Air Temp Controllers

Rib Racks

Kamado grills are great at most things, but what they really excel at is cooking low and slow. Ribs especially turn out great when cooked on kamado grills, which is where rib racks come in. These handy accessories fit far more ribs than your conventional grates alone can handle, saving you precious space in your kamado. You can also use them with an extended cooking rack to fit even more! Shop Rib Racks

Pizza Stones

Kamados work very similarly to dedicated brick pizza ovens, using wood-fired convection heat. Pizza stones use direct contact heat to evenly cook your pizza crust, creating a crispy, delicious base for all your favorite toppings. For the best results, preheat your kamado to 700°F (no more, trust us) and warm that stone inside without heating past that temperature. Shop Pizza Stones

Grate Lifter

If you had to pick only one thing on this list, the grate lifter would be it. This may not seem important but lifting a hot cooking grid is a hassle without one. Aside from that, it keeps messy black soot from getting all over your hands and clothes. Raise, lower, remove, and replace your cooking grids with ease with the convenient clamping mechanism and tight grip. Brands like Primo and Coyote make grid clamp tools that can be used on any kamado cooking grid. Shop Grate Lifter

Charcoal Ash Tools

Multi-use charcoal ash tools make cooking with charcoal in your kamado grill a breeze. This convenient accessory is great for stirring charcoal to get even heat while lighting the grill, moving charcoal around to create an indirect heat setup, and scraping the bottom of the grill when cleaning. Shop Charcoal Ash Tools

Electric Charcoal Starters

One of the easiest ways to light the charcoal for a kamado grill is with an electric charcoal starter. Safely create extreme heat within seconds with the push of a button—simply place the charcoal in your fire bowl and hold the lighter in place to ignite the charcoal. Some models will need access to a power outlet, but electric charcoal starters will make your kamado grilling life much easier. Shop Electric Charcoal Starters

Wood Chips & Chunks

Wood chips and chunks are the easiest way to increase the delicious complexity of your food's flavor profile. Adding them to the charcoal load in your fire bowl imparts that wood's smoke and flavor to the taste of your meats; blending or mixing chips will smoke an even richer taste. Some smoking enthusiasts would even call them a necessity. Shop Wood Chips & Chunks

Lump Charcoal

Lump charcoal is the preferred fuel source for kamado grills. It's made of natural hardwood that has been burned down to leave nothing but carbon—no lighter fluid, binding agents, or chemical additives included. Porous materials like ceramic soak up aerosolized liquids like these and will taint the taste of your food forever. Once it happens, it's irreversible, so ditch the briquette and invest in quality lump charcoal as your first and only choice. Shop Lump Charcoal
