Beginner cooks for new Kamado users.
If you’ve just invested in a Kamado for your barbecues and outdoor cooking you’ll want to start with simple cooks that increase your confidence. These dishes - chicken thighs, steak and pulled pork are ideal starting places: easy to master whilst you’re getting used to a new way of cooking.
And don’t forget to add some wood to your coals. Just a sprinkling of wood chips or a couple of wood chunks are all you need to completely transform your dish.
We’d recommend trying oak which is very versatile or any of the fruit woods that we supply. And hickory, for that full BBQ taste but use sparingly to begin with until you get used to its flavour profile.
