The Monolith Basic - Black with Cart is a stripped down version of Monolith's Classic model so like the Classic the Basic features a diameter of 46 cm and, like all Monoliths, is an ideal choice for grilling, baking, smoking, smoking and cooking.
The Monolith Basic - Black with Cart offers the same quality levels which can be found right across the Monolith range though has been simplified by the omission of the chip feeder system and the use of painted steel for the hinge and banding rather than the stainless steel used in other Monolith models plus it is only available in one standard format, colour black with cart and bamboo side shelves ensuring that Monolith quality can be offered at a lower price option.
As with all Monolith models the options for cooking on the Monolith Basic - Black with Cart can be widened with accessorries from Monolith's extensive range, such as a rotisserie, cast iron grid, pizza stone, wok and stand or fire plate, or it can easily upgraded with the Pro-Series Firebox and/or Smart Grid System.
Ceramic kamado cooking pots have been traditionally been used by the Chinese and Japanese for more than 3000 years with the ceramic grill as we now know, and call kamado, being evolved in the 1970's from the Japanese Mushikamado.
All Monolith Kamados are constructed from extremely heat-resistant ceramics, combined with high grade stainless steel, with the high insulative capacities of the heavy ceramic and the clever regulation of the air flow into the kamado meaning that the temperature can be controlled more successfully than in any other type of grill plus the charcoal consumption is approximately 25 - 50% lower than with a more typical charcoal grill.
Cooking temperatures can be achieved rapidly due to a chimney effect meaning you can cook within 15 minutes of lighting using much less fuel during preheating with the ceramic keeping most of the heat in so external temperatures are much lower. The heat retention capabilities of the ceramic are such that a Monolith Kamado is fantastic to use in winter being perfect for creating hearty winter stews and slow braised dishes.
All kamados are truly versatile in the temperatures and types of cooking which can be achieved while the highly temperature resistant ceramics that a Monolith Kamado looks good year in year out plus is very low maintenance being backed up with a Lifetime warranty on the ceramic and 5 year warranty on all metal parts
Now includes a segmented fire box, ash pan and shovel.
