Book excerpt: Because of the airtight seal it can achieve, the ceramic-insulated kamado grill is the "fix it and forget it" of the smoking world. Bring the grill to temperature, put on your brisket, ribs, or pork shoulder, lock down the grill, and it will maintain temperature for 5 to 12 hours, no added fuel needed. In The Kamado Grill Cookbook, Fred Thompson teaches the special techniques needed for kamado grill success.
