Features & benefits of the Ceramica Kamado Barbecue

Cast iron grates for professional grilling results

The cast iron grill grates of this Boretti kamado are the beating heart of this premium grilling system. Cast iron has the unique property of holding heat for a long time and distributing it perfectly evenly, allowing you to achieve those coveted grill marks and Maillard reaction that professionals appreciate. Unlike chrome-plated grates, cast iron creates authentic grill flavour and retains the juices optimally in meat and fish.

Ceramic construction for superior temperature control

The thick ceramic walls of this kamado act as a natural insulator capable of holding temperatures from 60 to 400 degrees Celsius. This thermal mass means you can maintain stable temperature for hours with minimal amounts of charcoal or briquettes, ideal for low-and-slow BBQ such as pulled pork or brisket. The ceramic egg design also ensures optimal air flow and convection, allowing food to be heated all around like in a professional wood oven.

Striking Limone colour with durable finish

The sunny yellow enamelled exterior is not only a feast for the eyes but also extremely practical. The high-quality enamel protects against weather, rust and discolouration, even with intensive use and prolonged exposure to the elements. This characteristic colour perfectly matches Boretti's Italian design DNA and makes your barbecue a statement piece in the garden that can remain outside all year round.

Complete system with stand and wheels

With a total weight of 98 kilograms, this kamado is sturdy and stable, but thanks to the included stand with wheels, you can move it when needed. The robust frame not only offers mobility but also extra working space and storage space for accessories. The overall dimensions of 65 cm wide, 89 cm high and 8.5 cm deep make this a compact yet powerful addition to any outdoor kitchen.

Applications

Direct grilling at high temperature

For the classic barbecue experience, place the cast iron grates directly above a glowing layer of charcoal or briquettes. The Boretti Ceramica effortlessly reaches temperatures above 300 degrees, perfect for quickly searing steaks, burgers, sausages and vegetables. Thanks to the excellent heat distribution of the cast iron grates, perfect grill marks are created without food burning or cooking unevenly.

Indirect grilling and smoking

Transform your kamado into a smoker by using a heat deflector (available as an accessory) that makes the heat indirect. With this, you can prepare ribs, pulled pork, brisket or chicken at low temperatures (100-150 degrees) for hours with that characteristic smoke ring and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Add smoking wood to your charcoal for extra flavour dimensions, from fruity apple wood to robust hickory.

Baking and pizza making

Thanks to the ceramic construction and egg-shaped design, this kamado functions as an authentic pizza oven. With temperatures up to 400 degrees and uniform heat distribution, you bake Neapolitan pizzas with a crispy base and perfectly melted cheese in just a few minutes. Bread, focaccia, quiches and even desserts such as apple pie work excellently in this versatile outdoor oven.

Assembly & use

The Boretti Ceramica Kamado is delivered with clear assembly instructions for the stand. Assembly is relatively straightforward and requires no specialist tools – usually you'll be ready to grill within half an hour. The ceramic egg is carefully placed in the frame, after which you install the thermometers, ventilation valves and other components. Make sure you do this work with two people because of the weight of the ceramic parts.

For first use, it is important to properly season the cast iron grates. Rub the grates with heat-resistant oil and then let the kamado burn for an hour at medium temperature (around 150-180 degrees). This process creates a natural non-stick coating that improves with each use. The kamado itself also benefits from a first slow warm-up to allow any production moisture to evaporate. Start with low temperatures and build up gradually over a few hours.

Maintenance of this Boretti kamado is remarkably simple. After use, let the ash cool and remove it via the convenient ash drawer. Brush the cast iron grates clean whilst they're still warm and occasionally rub them in with oil to prevent rust formation. The ceramic interior is self-cleaning due to high temperatures – an occasional burn-off at maximum temperature burns away all food residue. You can clean the enamelled exterior with a damp cloth. Thanks to the weather-resistant construction, the Boretti Ceramica can remain outside all year round, although a protective cover is recommended for optimal longevity.

Frequently asked questions

How much charcoal do I need per cooking session?

Due to the excellent insulation of the ceramic, the Boretti Ceramica is extremely fuel-efficient. For a short high-temperature grilling session, 1-1.5 kilograms of charcoal is often sufficient, whilst for a long low-and-slow session of 8-12 hours you'll need approximately 3-4 kilograms. This is considerably less than with traditional barbecues, so the kamado quickly pays for itself.

Can I use the kamado in winter as well?

Absolutely! The ceramic construction performs excellently at low outdoor temperatures. Because the heat is held so well, it makes little difference whether it's freezing or summer warm. You may need slightly more warm-up time in winter, but once at temperature, the Boretti Ceramica stays as stable as in summer.

Are the cast iron grates easy to clean?

Cast iron grates require a slightly different approach than chrome-plated grates, but are certainly not harder to maintain. Brush them clean immediately after use with a copper brush whilst still warm. Never soak them for extended periods and dry them thoroughly. With regular use and a thin oil layer, they build up a natural non-stick coating that makes maintenance increasingly simple.

What is the exact diameter of the grates?

The grilling surface has a diameter of 46 centimetres, which amounts to a grilling area of approximately 1660 square centimetres. This is more than sufficient for 6-8 burgers, 4-5 large steaks, or a whole chicken. For larger gatherings you can work with multiple levels by using a raised grill grate (available as an accessory).

Is the Boretti Ceramica suitable for beginners?

Whilst kamados have a learning curve when it comes to temperature control, the Boretti Ceramica is very user-friendly thanks to the precise thermometers and well-adjustable ventilation flaps. The stable temperature control is actually more forgiving than with many other barbecues. With the included manual and the many recipes and tips available online, you'll soon be on your way to BBQ mastery.
