Compact Kamado ceramic BBQ that grills, smokes and bakes pizza drops to £61.99

A compact ceramic barbecue capable of grilling, slow-smoking and baking has dropped to £61.99, putting the Kamado-style cooker within reach of households that do not want to spend hundreds on a larger model.

The 13-inch Alivio Kamado ceramic BBQ is being offered through Wowcher as a price-drop deal. The listing claims a saving of 64% against a previous price of £169.99, although shoppers should check the complete checkout cost and compare similar grills before ordering.

Almost 1,000 have been bought according to the deal page, while another three orders were recorded on the day the offer was checked. Its smaller footprint could make the £61.99 Kamado BBQ suitable for patios, compact gardens, campsites and terraces where a full-size barbecue would take up too much room.

Unlike a basic open charcoal grill, a Kamado uses a thick ceramic body to retain heat and moisture. The sealed cooking chamber is designed to maintain a steadier temperature while using less charcoal, which can help with longer cooking sessions and low-and-slow recipes.

The ceramic charcoal grill has a listed temperature range of 110C to 370C. Lower settings can be used for smoking ribs and other meats, while higher temperatures open up options such as searing steaks, cooking burgers or baking pizza.

Airflow is controlled through stainless steel and cast-iron vents, allowing users to adjust the temperature by changing the amount of oxygen reaching the charcoal. A built-in waterproof thermometer provides a visible guide without needing to lift the lid and release heat.

The tight ceramic chamber is also intended to retain moisture, helping food remain tender during longer cooking times. Alongside traditional barbecue meals, the seller suggests the mini Kamado grill can be used for bread, pies and other recipes normally prepared in an oven.

It measures 31.5cm wide, 31.5cm deep and 56cm tall. Although described as portable, it weighs 21kg, so most buyers will probably want two people available when moving it any significant distance.

The construction combines a ceramic shell with metal vents and a bamboo handle designed to remain comfortable to grip. Its smooth outer surface should be relatively straightforward to wipe down, while the fittings are described as rust-resistant.

Storage will still need some thought. The seller says it can be used outdoors throughout the year but recommends moving it indoors during winter for the best long-term care. A suitable weatherproof cover may also be worth considering if it will remain on a patio between uses.

As with any charcoal barbecue, it should only be used outside in a well-ventilated space and kept away from buildings, fences and flammable materials. Users should allow the ceramic body to cool fully before attempting to move or store it.

For smaller households or occasional outdoor cooks, the combination of high-temperature grilling and slower smoking gives this compact model more flexibility than a conventional budget barbecue.
