kamado

Egg-shaped grill

A kamado is a traditional Japanese ceramic cooking vessel, now widely adapted as a charcoal-fueled outdoor grill and smoker.

The egg-shaped design with thick insulated walls allows precise temperature control for grilling, smoking, roasting, and baking: We smoked a brisket on the kamado for twelve hours.

Brand names like Big Green Egg have made kamado-style cookers popular in American backyards.
