It&#8217;s worth looking more at the capacity of these, as size can matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What size kamado should I get?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few pointers for you to weigh up in considering how big or how small a kamado you should buy: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Space limitations &#8212; What outdoor space do you have? Are there <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2015-05-07\/can-i-grill-on-my-balcony\" target=\"_blank\">restrictions<\/a>? What about <a href=\"https:\/\/ceramiccookwarehub.com\/why-get-a-ceramic-grill-cover\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"35813\">weather and winter protection<\/a>? <\/li><li>Portability &#8211; Will you be transporting it to and fro for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenista.com\/posts\/tips-for-a-perfect-barbecue-in-a-public-park\/\" target=\"_blank\">park bbqs<\/a>, for example?<\/li><li>Number of people &#8212; How many are you likely to cook for at the one time?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your outdoor area is cramped, you won&#8217;t want an oversized kamado. If you&#8217;re wanting something that&#8217;s portable, equally, you don&#8217;t want something that&#8217;s weighty or bulky. Ceramic grills aren&#8217;t as lightweight as their aluminum counterparts. If you plan on cooking for a family or a number of guests, you&#8217;ll want a kamado with the right capacity to do it with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I choose a kamado grill?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from price, quality, and added features, the weight of the appliance and the area it takes up are factors that can help with deciding which one to buy. A practical way to look at what size kamado to get&#8230;is to get to know the kamado&#8217;s burger capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The burger capacity will give you an idea of how much food you can cook on the grill at once. Burgers are a common item to cook on grills and most people can easily picture capacity based on an <a href=\"https:\/\/thekitchencommunity.org\/burger-grill-time-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average burger<\/a>. So it&#8217;s a pragmatic approach toward understanding a kamado&#8217;s size compared to calling it extra large, large, medium, or small, which can vary between brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well, it helps you to know the capacity you can expect from your purchase. For example, if you settle for a four burger capacity kamado, let&#8217;s say because of price, you&#8217;ll know you&#8217;ll need to keep cooked burgers warm somehow while the extras are being cooked for your guests (that is, if you plan on serving everyone at the same time).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">     <a data-amazonimages=\"\" title=\"Kamado Joe BJ24RH Big Joe Grill, Red\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00IIUO9FQ\/?tag=ceramiccook02-20\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kamado Joe BJ24RH Big Joe Grill, Red\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51D7Yo6AMMS._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"Kamado Joe BJ24RH Big Joe Grill, Red\"><br><strong>Big Joe Grill<\/strong><\/a> does 20 burgers at a time<br>It&#8217;s available at Amazon <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kamado grill burger capacity compared<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following lists a number of brands and models of kamado grills and their burger capacity and weight.

If you want the lightest ceramic kamado, you&#8217;re looking at a two burger capacity. If you want something lighter, but with bigger capacity, you may want to check out the aluminum-type kamado grills. Providing you have the space capacity, consider the larger grills if you&#8217;re catering for the large family or entertaining a party of guests, although the larger sizes are more expensive. It may be a compromise for you, but consider a good ceramic grill as a long term investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a ceramic grill that&#8217;s right for you?
