Meet Oded Eshel of Embers Only BBQ

Hello there, this is Oded Eshel of Embers Only BBQ from Fort Lauderdale, FL. I've been cooking on the Kamado Joe for five years now, and it's been an incredible experience. When we bought a house, I started obsessively researching the best grills in the country, settled on the Kamado Joe Classic II, and it has been an absolute joy. I learned by surrounding myself with like-minded friends (shout out to the BBQ Nerds) and picked up a lot from YouTube. My family is from Israel and Argentina, so we have a rich grilling culture, and I grew up seeing some very impressive work from my father and uncles. The last few times they've been over my house for a BBQ have been the first times they've looked at me with respect in my life.

Why Kamado Grills are Great for Traditional BBQ Recipes

Traditional BBQ recipes truly shine when cooked on a kamado grill, thanks to its unique design and superior heat control. The thick, ceramic walls of a kamado grill provide exceptional insulation, allowing for steady, even heat distribution that is perfect for slow cooking and smoking. This consistent temperature ensures that classic BBQ recipes like brisket, ribs, and pulled pork cook evenly, resulting in tender, juicy meat with a deep, smoky flavor. Additionally, the kamado grill's ability to maintain low and slow cooking temperatures for extended periods makes it ideal for developing the complex flavors and rich textures that are the hallmark of traditional barbecue recipes. The versatility of the kamado grill also allows for a variety of cooking methods, from searing to smoking, making it a superior choice for BBQ enthusiasts looking to elevate their culinary creations.

Kamado Joe grills offer the versatility to grill, smoke, bake, and roast, all while using less fuel. This means you can achieve rich, smoky flavors with precision and ease, making every BBQ experience unforgettable.
