kamado meaning

The original kamado was an old Japanese-designed stove. When it was first used, the “kitchen” was a structure separated from the main house. The most prominent feature in the building was a wood-burning ceramic stove fixed on the earth floor. The large, bowl-shaped jar nestled tightly in the hollow circle on the top of the stove. The temperature of the furnace and the combustion of the heat source in the box-type housing are regulated by an adjustable vent system. The design of the lid of the clay pot was finally improved into a shallow, inverted bowl to better collect and retain moisture.
