The Kamado style grill is based on ancient Japanese technology used over 2000 years ago. Originally composed of clay, the kamado was typically built into the earth floor of pit homes—small houses built into the ground.

By the early 1600’s advancements in the kamado design and function included high-end, portable kamados which attracted the attention of those in the elite and urban communities, and soon became commonplace in their households. By literal translation, the word “kamado” in Japanese means “oven”, “stove”, or “kitchen”. But it represents more than just perfection in functional design and exquisite, flavorful food. Historically, the kamado was and still is a symbol of family and home.
