Can a Kamado Grill Be Indestructible? Spoiler Alert: Yes
Simply put, the Blaze Kamado offers superior durability to ceramic kamados the traditional material for this grill type for a lifetime of grilling. How? Its all in the cast aluminum alloys that contain very little iron, which results in a rust-proof design strongly resistant to the elements. And unlike ceramic, cast aluminum allows you to use any type of charcoal, wood, or lighting materials without the worry of it causing damage or being absorbed into the grill body. Oh, theres more: you wont need to shell out extra money to replace the top exhaust cap, a commonly faulty component on ceramic kamados. Everything comes together to create the most durable kamado on the market.
Maximum Heat Retention for Maximum Flavor
Being virtually indestructible is one thing, but we know you care about cooking power most of all. The Blaze Kamado delivers with heavy-duty, 304-grade stainless steel cooking grates that measure 12mm in thickness to retain huge amounts of heat for an excellent sear. By shaping the grates hexagonally, Blaze gives food more surface contact with the cooking surface, in turn producing bolder sear marks for wonderfully caramelized flavor. And instead of using a felt gasket like the competition, this cast aluminum kamado utilizes a tongue-and-groove seal. The design eliminates the need to fix a damaged gasket another commonly replaced kamado component and also provides an exceptional seal that prevents precious heat and smoke from escaping mid-cook. More heat and more smoke in the grill mean tastier food on your plate.
Easier Grilling & Cleaning
That 20 diameter cooking grate we were going on about earlier? Well, its hinged on both sides so you can easily add wood or charcoal without removing food and lifting the entire grate. Blaze also included a mid-level, 18 cooking grate that allows you to cook closer to the fire for more intense heat (its also a good spot to place a drip pan or a heat deflector for indirect cooking).
The Blaze Kamados lid hinge is made from 304-grade stainless steel and features a convenient lift-assist function for easy opening and closing. At the bottom of the firebox, youll find a removable stainless steel ash pan with handles for hassle-free cleanup. A large temperature gauge with markings for smoking, roasting, and searing is mounted in the lid, letting you easily monitor cooking temperatures as you entertain. The grill also includes cast aluminum feet so you can safely stabilize it in your outdoor kitchen island, should you choose to use it off the cart. And as one final show of care, this kamado grill comes with high-heat cooking gloves are for safe handling.
EXTRA! Turn your kamado into a rotisserie with Blazes optional rotisserie kit.

I will buy from BBQ guys againMy salesllady was GREAT! I think it was Alicia | Was This Helpful? | |
After a year as a newbie smokerI looked around and decided to get the Blaze Kamado because of the aluminum construction and stainless steel components. I would definitely buy it again just for that. I can say that most of the challenges have been from not having much experience smoking, and the Blaze has been very forgiving. It holds temps well and cleans up like a dream. I just throw everything in the dishwasher, scrape down the sides into the ash pan to easily lift out and, ready to go again. I got the half moon stainless deflector plates and the rotisserie kit. I can use the rotisserie drip pan for a water bath for long smokes. After having given up all hope to become a master, I bought a temp controller and blower fan with a universal adapter and was able to find a company that makes a universal receiver that fits the Blaze. My husband rigged a basket that fits perfectly so I can just lift out the unused charcoal, which would be really messy otherwise. So that would be one area for improvement, as it took a long time to research optimizing and I am not sure everyone would have the time to find the gadgets here and there to make it work. But it was worth it. The only other thing I wish I had was better access to the bottom with a bigger vent. I would love to slip in a tray so I can add wood chips during a smoke. If this ever came out with a larger size and more accessories, I bet one of my kids would be ecstatic to get this as a hand-me-down because I wouldn't be able to resist. | Was This Helpful? | |
Don't touch the truck, dog or grill the wife you will bringThere is a learning curve. I could set it to run 180 for as long as my heart desires. I smoke, broil rotisserie you name it you can do it. Close the air vents and reuse the charcoal. Very efficient, it has serial number on the bottom, I carved my name and phone number with a hammer and a screwdriver when I was smoking. I have been a full time camper for 2 yrs very durable can't see how anyone could not love this. Only con is if it is 400 on the inside it is 400 on the outside. I have used this in Pa too Florida It is heavy. | Was This Helpful? | |
Modern tech meets Kamado for the winThis grill is a work of art, indestructible and works like a charm. The fit and finish is 5 star, machining is aircraft quality. It was a treat for me and it's well worth every penny. It holds heat like a Boss and I mean it. I bought in November of 2021 and have only used it in Alaskan winter. it is the real deal. 100% would recommend. It's between sizes of a "Green Egg Large and XL. Plenty bog enough for Turkey, Prime Rib, Brisket of smaller items for 6-8. Can't wait to get the rotisserie kit and the indirect charcoal basket. I have the stainless handles and the stainless rolling cart. They are equally as well made. Forget the price and buy this grill. put it on your homeowners insurance and in your will because it will outlast you. | Was This Helpful? | |
Zero regrets......only wish I bought it sooner!I will not besmirch my prior ceramic kamado grill as it served me well for many years BUT I am glad I no longer have to worry about cracking fireboxes, flaking glaze and rusty steel bands. This Blaze Kamado is bombproof. Period. Maintaining and adjusting temperature is a breeze like any other kamado after a brief learning curve. I have zero issues maintaining 225 all day on a single load, 550 for pizza cooks and even 700 for a short time as a "self cleaning" mode. I have seen some concerns about maintaining temps in the cold or during rain but I have had zero issues. I find no downsides to this aluminum kamado vs. it's ceramic counterparts. It may cost a bit more but for me it was worth it for the heavy duty build........the hinge, grates, vents are all a step above in quality and stoutness. Not much else to say, simply a fantastic kamado......great job Blaze! ******I did have a warranty issue with my main cooking grate shortly after purchase (a failed weld) and a replacement was sent to me with zero hassle. I am less concerned about the issue (things happen) than I am with how the company dealt with it and I gotta say they were outstanding. | Was This Helpful? | |
Very happy with purchaseThis is my first Kamado and first charcoal grill. I have been able to both grill and smoke and have a solid base to learn on. The grill is ridiculously sturdy, easy to clean and just a great piece of equipment | Was This Helpful? | |
Highly recommend buying this kamadoThis kamado is amazing my first cook was pork butt smoked . once dialed in at 250 degrees never had to touch anything for 9 hours very very pleased at how well the kamado cooks | Was This Helpful? | |
Best grill ever!This is by far the best grill I have ever used! It makes grilling so easy for the perfect family cookout! Can't wait to do a slow and low cook on it as it definitely holds temps more steady than any other grill I have used. I would absolutely buy this grill again, but definitely will not have to because of its indestructible construction! | Was This Helpful? | |
Ohhh. Yeah 😎 just what I was hoping forI researched the choice s of all Kamado grills. I was impressed right away. Better technology on the Blaze No gasket. No rusting at all | Was This Helpful? | |
Love my Kamado, been using for 4 yearsthis Kamado is an absolute stud! I have been using it for over 4 years and have had no problems with it and it still looks brand new. Can't recommend enough. | Was This Helpful? |

Pros:
- Aluminum construction is significantly lighter in weight than traditional ceramic kamado grills
- The lift-assist hinges allow for very easy opening and closing
- The grill is considerably more durable and resistant to rust than ceramic grills
Cons:
- The full-width ash pan is a nice and effective feature, but you have to remove all three grates in order to lift it out for cleanup
- Besides the rotisserie, it’s lacking in accessories that give you more cooking versatility
- The grill is hotter to the touch than its ceramic counterparts, so take extra care when standing near or managing the grill
The Skinny:
- Solid cast aluminum kamado grill is an industry first
- Backed by Blaze’s best-in-class lifetime warranty
- Boasts incredible cooking performance
- Durable construction is virtually indestructible
- Blends in with stainless steel outdoor kitchen appliances
By: BBQGuys Staff
This grill is the toughest kamado grill on the market. It’s backed by a best-in-class, lifetime warranty, and it looks and cooks great too. My main takeaways from using this grill are the durable aluminum construction, excellent heat retention, and the easy lift-assist hood that makes opening and closing the grill so easy.
Quality
A perfect blend of durability and affordability results in exceptional grilling quality
-
The Blaze Kamado’s aluminum construction offers superior durability to traditional ceramic kamados. The cast aluminum alloy results in a rust-proof design that can withstand the elements, making the grill practically indestructible. Another benefit is it allows you to use any fuel source—even regular charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid. Traditional ceramic kamados are porous, meaning they absorb moisture and odors. This helps them retain heat, but because they’re so porous, using lighter fluid or charcoal briquettes pre-soaked in lighter fluid ruins ceramic grills. I recommend steering clear of these anyway and using only natural lump charcoal, but the advantage of the Blaze Kamado being aluminum is that it won’t absorb the lighter fluid and ruin your grill.
-
The rust-resistant nature of aluminum means that you won’t need to replace the top exhaust cap, which is a commonly faulty component on ceramic kamados.
The silver-colored finish and 304 stainless accents also seamlessly blend in with other stainless steel equipment in your outdoor kitchen for a cohesive look.
Inside the grill, you'll find a 20-inch stainless steel hex grill grate made of 12 mm 304-grade stainless steel that provides a large surface area and excellent heat retention for those beautiful sear marks everyone wants.
Performance
This grill ranks among the best Kamados on the market
-
As far as cooking performance is concerned, this is among the best of them! Heat retention is one of the most important features of kamado grills, which are known for holding their temperature during long cooks, and the Blaze Kamado is no exception. I found the thick cast aluminum walls to hold heat just as well as the ceramic kamados. I also like the unique tongue-and-groove design that seals the grill lid tight to the base, allowing little to no heat escape. More heat and more smoke in the grill means tastier food on your plate. And unlike the felt gaskets on other kamado grills, this won’t need occasional replacing.
-
By shaping the grates hexagonally, Blaze gives food more contact with the cooking surface, which produces more pronounced sear marks. Along with the solid heat retention, the heat control is top-notch. The lower air intake features a multi-function door with a dial for precise control and the built-in, cast aluminum top air vent allows you to easily set the vent opening, which stays in place even when lifting the lid.
Features
Packed with innovative features, this grill offers unparalleled convenience and versatility
The stainless steel hex grill grates feature two hinged sections for easily adding charcoal or wood chunks. Underneath the main cooking grid is an 18-inch, 304 stainless steel, multi-purpose grate that gives you the flexibility to cook food on this and the top grate at the same time, which almost doubles your cooking space. You can also set a pan of liquid or a heat deflector on it when cooking with indirect heat.
-
Under this multi-purpose grate lies a 304 stainless steel charcoal grate. When it's time to clean out the ashes, I love the full-width, lift-out ash pan. That pan is more convenient and effective than scraping out the ashes on a regular ceramic kamado.
-
Finally, I love the 304 series stainless steel lift-assist hinge on the lid. It makes it so easy to open and close the lid, it practically feels like air, especially compared to other kamados which tend to be bulky and heavy.
