Anyone who truly wants to get the most out of their kamado cooks in layers. Multilevel cooking means working with multiple grilling levels and temperature zones within a single kamado. You utilize the full space of the kettle and create different heat zones without having to constantly adjust your entire setup. The result is more control, more even cooking, and the freedom to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously.
What is Multilevel cooking?
Direct and indirect in one session
Baking, smoking, and stewing with varying heights
Multi-level cooking isn't just about left and right, but also about top and bottom. A pizza stone placed higher in the dome benefits from optimal air circulation and top heat. When smoking, a stable airflow ensures a deep, even smoky flavor. And when stewing, using a pan on an indirect zone creates a constant low temperature. By working in layers, you harness the full power of your kamado.

Why Multilevel makes the difference
A standard grate gives you one cooking zone. Multilevel cooking gives you control over heat distribution, height, and doneness. You work more efficiently, have to move less, and get more out of every session. For those serious about cooking with a kamado, Multilevel is not an extra option but a logical next step.
