Buffalo XL Ceramic Kamado BBQ Grill 22"

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Buffalo XL Ceramic Kamado BBQ is a large-format charcoal grill designed for operators who need genuine cooking versatility outdoors. Built around a thick ceramic body, it functions as a grill, smoker, pizza oven, and roaster in a single unit — making it a practical choice for catering events, outdoor dining services, or permanent covered terrace setups where a gas supply isn't available or practical.
The ceramic construction is the defining characteristic of this style of cooker. It retains heat exceptionally well once at temperature, meaning the charcoal load required to maintain consistent cooking conditions is lower than with steel alternatives. Recovery after opening the lid is relatively quick, and the cooker holds steady temperature across a wide range — from low-and-slow smoking conditions through to high-heat searing. The 20-minute heat-up time is typical for a quality ceramic Kamado and compares well to steel grills of comparable size.
From an operational standpoint, the Kamado format works well for caterers offering smoked meats, grilled proteins, or wood-fired dishes as a menu feature. Its versatility reduces the number of separate cooking units required at an event or outdoor service point.
- Ceramic liner holds temperature consistently without constant fuel management
- Suitable for grilling, smoking, searing, and baking — all from one unit
- Supplied with a mobile trolley and two wooden side shelves for prep space
- Finished in black ceramic — durable and presentable in front-of-house settings
- Reduces charcoal consumption compared to open steel grill designs
At 91kg, this is a substantial piece of equipment. It is genuinely portable via the supplied trolley on level ground, but moving it across uneven surfaces or loading it into vehicles requires planning and appropriate handling. It is not suited to compact indoor kitchens and requires adequate ventilation or an outdoor environment for safe use with charcoal.
This grill is well suited to event caterers, street food operators, pub gardens, and outdoor restaurants where charcoal cooking is part of the offer. For higher-volume operations requiring faster throughput across multiple covers simultaneously, a larger or multi-unit setup would be worth considering.
If you're weighing up whether the Kamado format fits your service style or have questions about cooking volume and fuel management, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Buffalo Kamado suitable for regular commercial event catering use?
Yes, the ceramic construction is durable and well suited to repeated use across catering events and outdoor service settings. The key practical consideration is weight — at 91kg, it requires appropriate handling and planning each time it's transported or repositioned, so it works best where it can remain in a semi-permanent outdoor location or where vehicle loading has been properly accounted for.
How much cooking space does the 22" grill realistically offer for service?
A 22" cooking surface gives a reasonable working area for small to medium covers — it suits operators cooking to order rather than batch production. For high-volume services where throughput across many covers simultaneously is critical, a larger grill or running multiple units would be a more practical approach.
Can this Kamado be used indoors or under a canopy?
No — charcoal combustion produces carbon monoxide, so this unit must only be used outdoors or in a fully open, well-ventilated environment. It is not suitable for indoor kitchens, enclosed gazebos, or any space without direct airflow. A covered outdoor terrace with open sides can work, but always follow current HSE guidance on charcoal cooking in commercial settings.
