Kamado Joe Classic Joe Grill Series III
international.kamadojoe.com, £2,149
This is the Rolls Royce of barbecues, and it's all thanks to its ceramic shell. Once the ceramic gets hot it needs little energy to stay that way, so once you've lit your charcoal and heated the barbecue to the desired temperature (indicated by the thermometer on the front) it'll stay there.
If you want to slow or speed up the cook, you simply change the airflow by opening or shutting the vents at the top and bottom. This lends the entire practice of cooking outside a degree of predictability, hence why professional chefs love these cookers.
The Kamado excels at slow cooking things like beef brisket or a lamb shoulder, where a long, gentle cook is vital for good results. It'll also go low and slow enough to allow you to reverse sear a steak, but it's equally good if you just want to throw a rib-eye on the coals. Plus, the even heat output means cooking veg or side dishes on pans or baskets is easy. It's our ultimate choice for a barbecue, but has an eye-watering price to match.
