Why purchase a Auplex kamado?

The biggest benefits

√ Versatile

A Auplex kamado can do much more than a regular BBQ!

The Auplex kamado is a real all-rounder and a very versatile device. It is a complete outdoor kitchen which you can use for standard grilling directly over the fire but also for indirect grilling. A  Auplex  kamado is ideal for low & slow cooking, hot and cold smoking, high heat searing, but also baking pizza, bread, lasagna or oven dishes is no problem. You can use it to wok, make paella or mussels and it can be used with a rotisserie. It’s a real wood fired oven that you can use from 100°C to 400°C.

√ Quick start-up
A quality Auplex kamado gets up to temperature very quickly. You fill it up with fresh lump charcoal, light it and after 15 minutes it has a temperature of 180°C. Just enough time to set the table .

√ Maintenance
A Auplex kamado requires little maintenance or cleaning. To clean the inside, it is sufficient to burn it at high temperature once in a while. Combine this if possible with baking some delicious pizzas. Next to this you need to remove the firebox once a year to take out the remaining ashes and check every now and then that all screws are still tight.

√Accurate temperature control
Thanks to the airtight seal of the kamado you determine the oxygen flow into the device. This allows for very precise temperature control. Simply allow more or less oxygen by setting the upper and lower vents.

√ Ecological and Economical
Thanks to the unique design of a Auplex kamado with its airtight seal and high mass, it’s not only accurately adjustable but also consumes very little charcoal. When you finish cooking you close the air flow and the charcoal extinguishes. Next time you will continue using it so nothing is lost. With one load of charcoal, you can easily cook for more than 15 hours at 100°C, grill for 4 to 5 hours at 180°C or bake pizza’s for 1.5 hours at 380°C. Be sure to use quality restaurant charcoal with large pieces like our Restaurant Grade or Big Block charcoal.

√ Flavor
Meat that you cook on a Auplex kamado gets that fantastic wood-fired flavor!

That’s because you’re using real quality lump charcoal in your kamado. This gives your food a wonderful wood fire flavor, which you can never achieve with a gas grill.

√  More tender meat
Because of the airtight seal and the high mass of the Auplex  kamado, the temperature is maintained well and there is no unnecessary air circulation in the BBQ. All the air you allow through the vents is fully used to maintain the desired temperature. The airtight seal ensures that there is no unnecessary air circulation that can cause your meat to dry out. The result is deliciously tender and juicy meat!

√ Burns longer for better slow cooking
Quality lump charcoal like our Restaurant Grade Charcoal burns longer because it’s made from hard South African acacia wood. In addition, they consist of a combination of fast igniting small chunks and long smoldering large chunks, allowing you to cook food slowly at low temperature (‘low & slow’). With ordinary charcoal from the supermarket, you get too many cheaper small chunks and not enough big chunks.

Secret behind how a Auplex kamado works!
Why is it that a kamado offers all these advantages, versatility, stability and precise temperature control, more tender meat and a delicious authentic wood fire flavor?

√ Mass
The large mass and high weight of your Auplex Kamado makes it very easy to maintain the same temperature for a long time, even in cold or windy weather.

√ Airtight closure
If you’re looking you’re not cooking! A famous saying among pitmasters and it couldn’t be more true! The dome of your  Auplex Kamado  fits airtight to the base thanks to the gasket. This allows you to determine the exact amount of air that can enter the device. You control the temperature very precisely and limit the air flow in your kamado to a minimum. The result: very low charcoal consumption and maximum moisture retention in your meat and other dishes.
