About BBQ Accessories
Which BBQ accessories do you really need?
Start with the basics and expand once you know how you like to cook. A few accessories you will use in almost every session, the rest opens up new techniques.
- A probe thermometer. You cook to core temperature, not to the clock. See the BBQ thermometers.
- Good fuel. Large pieces of hardwood charcoal burn long and clean. Choose from the kamado charcoal and light it with natural firelighters instead of lighter fluid.
- Smoking wood for flavour. Chunks for long sessions, chips for a short smoke. It is all under smoking wood.
- Tools. Long tongs, a spatula and a grill brush. See BBQ tools.
Cooking beyond the grill grate
With cast iron your barbecue becomes an outdoor kitchen: a dutch oven for stews and bread, a skillet for eggs, vegetables or a dessert. Cast iron holds heat the way ceramic does, so it works well with a kamado. For carving and serving your brisket or picanha there are knives and cutting boards, and for flavour the rubs and sauces.

Frequently asked questions
Which BBQ accessories are essential for beginners?
Start with a probe thermometer, good charcoal, natural firelighters and long grill tongs. That way you cook to temperature and keep the fire under control. Add smoking wood, cast iron and a pizza stone once you want to try new techniques.
Do these accessories fit every barbecue?
Thermometers, tools, smoking wood, charcoal, cast iron and knives work with any barbecue. Grates, heat deflectors and grill extenders are made to fit a kamado; you will find them by size under kamado accessories.
Do I get a discount on accessories when I buy a kamado?
Yes. Order accessories together with a kamado and you get a bundle discount on those accessories. The percentage depends on the model and goes up to 20% with a Pro III. The discount does not apply to accessories bought without a kamado.
Which smoking wood should I use in a kamado?
For long, low-temperature sessions chunks work best: they smoulder slowly and give hours of smoke. Chips burn faster and suit short cooks such as fish or chicken. Place the wood between or on top of the glowing charcoal.
How do I look after cast iron BBQ accessories?
Clean cast iron with hot water and a brush, without soap. Dry it thoroughly straight away and rub in a thin layer of oil. That keeps the seasoning intact and stops it from rusting.
