So you finally went ahead and bought yourself a kamado grill, did you? It's the backyard appliance that's become increasingly popular as of recent years and is being purchased in addition to (or in place of!) a traditional gas grill. The appeal of a kamado grill is that they retain a smoky flavor in your food because of the lump charcoal that's used. They also retain moisture which is great for slow-cooking, so you can ensure your meat comes out juicy and tender enough to fall right off the bone. To make the most of your kamado grill you might need a few extra accessories, and there are the must-haves we suggest for kamado grill owners new and old.
