Fire Mountain Fuji 18" Ceramic Kamado BBQ Grill

I bought this kamado after a fair bit of shopping around and settled on a middle of the road price point as I am not an expert on the kamado (yet!)

The kamado itself comes in one piece and the trolley was easy to assemble, a bit heavy to lift onto the base but we managed it fine. I wanted to cook on it before writing my review and with the nice weather we decided to have a bbq over the weekend, the kamado was amazing!

I just used normal lumpwood charcoal and the taste of the beef was outstanding! I've still got a bit more experimenting to do with it but I can't wait to use over the summer and start perfecting some recipes

Overall would definitely recommend

Great kamado, feels just as premium as much more expensive kamados I have looked at.

Comes with split deflector plate and an accessory so you can use a pan/wok. Cooking grills can be moved up and down which is really useful.

Really happy with it, would recommend it to anyone.

I’ve always enjoyed cooking outdoors and the Fire Mountain Kamado has made it even more fun. Setup was pretty straightforward and after a few cooks I got comfortable with controlling the temperature and trying different styles of cooking. It feels really solid and well put together without being over complicated to use.

The best part for me has definitely been the slow cooks. I’ve done ribs, pulled pork and a few big joints of meat over weekends, and the results have been brilliant every time. You get that proper smoky flavour and really tender meat without having to constantly mess around with the heat. It’s become a bit of a talking point whenever friends or family come round and I genuinely look forward to firing it up.

I’ve been cooking outdoors for well over twenty years and have used everything from traditional charcoal kettles to premium smokers and ceramic grills, so I know good build quality when I see it. The Fire Mountain Fuji has genuinely impressed me. The ceramic construction feels exceptionally solid and well finished, with heavy-duty fittings, quality hinges and excellent heat retention throughout long cooks.

What really stands out for me is the flavour this Kamado produces. The airflow control is precise, allowing you to dial in the perfect balance of heat and smoke whether you’re cooking low-and-slow brisket, ribs or smoked chicken. The smokiness you get from lumpwood charcoal and hardwood chunks is absolutely superb, giving food that authentic wood-fired flavour that’s difficult to replicate on a standard BBQ.

It’s also remarkably efficient on fuel. Once up to temperature, it sits steadily for hours with very little adjustment, making overnight cooks and long smoking sessions incredibly easy. The cooking space is generous, the temperature control is responsive, and the overall experience feels far more premium than the price would suggest.

For anyone serious about outdoor cooking who wants a Kamado capable of proper smoking, roasting and high-heat grilling, the Fuji is an outstanding piece of equipment.

Bought the Fire Mountain Fuji 24” a few weeks ago and honestly it’s been class.

First proper Kamado I’ve owned and I’ve already had loads of mates round asking where it’s from after cooking steaks, wings and pizzas on it.

Really easy to control the temperature once you get used to it, and it looks unreal in the garden as well. Proper quality BBQ.
