Cook up a feast for families and friends with the Classic II Barbecue & Grill. Showcasing an exclusive multilevel Divide & Conquer® half-rack design that doubles cooking space, the Classic II allows you to cook different foods on different levels all at the same time. Allowing for precise airflow management, the no-rust, rain-proof control tower top vent maintains consistent air settings. The Classic II features a first-of-its-kind slide-out ash drawer that takes the hassle and mess out of emptying the ash. Featuring a wire mesh fibreglass gasket, airlift hinge, stainless steel latch and a built-in thermometer, this funky BBQ has everything you need to start cooking the Kamado way.

The unique blaze-red enamelled exterior is guaranteed to stand out in your garden, creating a great centrepiece when entertaining guests. Sat on a powder-coated galvanised steel cart with locking wheels, the Classic II is easy to manoeuvre. Complete with folding aluminium side shelves which are perfect for serving up delicious sides and integrated utensil hooks for added convenience.

What we like:

  • Very versatile – smokes, roasts, slow cooks and grills
  • High quality ceramic BBQ
  • Excellent at smoking
  • Excellent at slow cooking

What we dislike:

  • Takes some time to assemble
  • Takes up a sizeable amount of room
  • Takes some getting used to
