Those who want to buy a charcoal grill can even choose from several types of charcoal grills: ceramic kamado, metal kamado, charcoal grills (kettle) and travel COBB grills. So, the question arises when which type is better to choose, what are their advantages and what are their disadvantages.

It should also be considered that ceramic Kamado grills are sensitive to temperature changes, which can cause them to split.
