Manufacture of QUATRO kamados (also known as “Japanese ceramic barbecues”)
Where are kamados made?
Our Japanese ceramic barbecues (“kamados”) are designed in France and manufactured in the most modern and state-of-the-art factories in China.
The manufacture of our kamados follows a complex and careful process, where several steps are necessary to ensure their quality, durability and performance.
Here are the key steps in the manufacture of a QUATRO kamado:
Kamado conception and design
The performance of the QUATRO is based in particular on the perfect combination of its conical shape and the quality of its ceramic. This allows for easy and fast lighting, even and consistent cooking, food preservation as well as low charcoal consumption.
Designed in ceramic, the QUATRO benefits from the most innovative ceramic quality on the market. Composed of an alloy of cordierite and sillicate (mullite), it is more resistant to thermal and physical shocks. Dense and thick (3.5cm), the ceramic of the QUATRO ensures optimal heat retention for long hours.
The QUATRO is the only kamado in the world to have received 3 design awards, which positions it as the first ceramic barbecue to join the world of design.
The QUATRO combines tradition, craftsmanship, design and innovation. This multi-function barbecue grill can be used for smoking, baking, grilling, searing, or roasting. It can be transformed according to your desires, the possibilities are almost endless.
Manufacture of ceramic parts
• Mixing and preparing clay : Clay is mixed with other materials like sand and water to achieve an ideal consistency. It is then kneaded to remove air bubbles and ensure an even texture.
• Molding : The main parts of the kamado (base, bowl, lid) are molded into specific shapes. We have developed our own moulds, unique in the world.
• Drying : The castings are then dried slowly to prevent them from cracking during firing. This process can take several days, depending on the size and thickness of the parts.
• Baking (Sintering): The ceramic parts are then placed in a high-temperature furnace, often called a sintering furnace. Firing at a temperature of 1000 to 1300 °C allows the ceramic to harden and become extremely resistant to heat. This process is essential so that the kamado can withstand high temperatures without cracking or warping.
• After firing, the pieces are carefully inspected for any imperfections or cracks. Those that do not meet quality standards are thrown away or recycled.
Where is the French kamado COEO made?
The manufacture of a QUATRO combines traditional and modern methods to produce a high-quality ceramic barbecue (“kamado”) capable of cooking at high temperatures while ensuring excellent heat retention. The process is based on a mastery of ceramics and meticulous assembly, with particular attention to thermal performance and durability.
