The Blaze 20-Inch Kamado gives you classic kamado-style cooking without the ceramic downsides — no cracking, no crumbling felt gaskets, no fragile vent caps to replace. Cast aluminum construction means you can burn charcoal, wood, or fire starters without worrying about damaging the grill, while a tongue-and-groove lid seal locks in heat and smoke for consistent, low-and-slow or high-heat cooking.

What people like
Pros
- Lifetime Warranty: Backed by a best-in-class lifetime warranty on all components.
- Easy Cleanup: Features a full-width, lift-out ash pan for convenient ash removal.
- Dual Cooking Surfaces: Includes an 18-inch multi-purpose grate for expanded cooking space or indirect cooking.
- Easy Lid Lift: Spring-assisted 304 stainless steel hinge makes opening and closing the heavy lid effortless.
Cons
- Learning Curve: Like all kamados, there's a learning curve to mastering temperature control with the vents.
- No Built-in Legs/Stand: Often requires purchasing a separate cart or building into an island.
- Limited Accessories (initial): While rotisserie and other accessories are available, they are sold separately and may not be as universally available as for more common ceramic brands.
- Bottom Vent Access: One user wished for better access to the bottom with a bigger vent for adding wood chips during a smoke.
