What is a Kamado Grill? A History
The Saffire kamado grill is a descendant from a long line of ceramic cookers. Ceramic “kamado” style cookers have been in use for millennia. They have been traced as far back as China’s Qin Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. Kamado literally means “place for the cauldron.”
A more portable kamado, called a “mushikamado” was developed in Japan. “Mushikamado” literally means, “round clay pot” and originally had a domed clay lid. It is from these cookers that the modern kamado style grill was born.
The Reason for Kamado Cookers
Kamado cookers developed in part because clay was readily available. From the Indian tandoor, to the Japanese mushikamado, clay stoves crossed the globe. Why?
Ceramic walls retain and reflect heat more efficiently than other materials. This means even the simplest food is amazingly juicy and flavorful. The round design of the kamado grill means an even heat distribution from one end of the cooking area to the other. Even cooking, better tasting food, and precision control are hallmarks of cooking with the Saffire kamado grill.
