The Bastard was born out of the love for authentic flavours and the Dutch design. The cooking method is centuries old, but refined by the makers. Besides the fact that the kamado looks beautiful, it is also efficient and functional, so you can enjoy it all year round. The Bastard takes everything into consideration. It does what it is supposed to do and is the very best at it!
Why Build a Bastard?
Grilling, baking, smoking and stewing, with The Bastard everything is possible. Experience many different cooking techniques and prepare the most delicious dishes in no time. This makes The Bastard the most versatile barbecue of this moment. Besides that, the kamado is made of the best materials, such as special ceramic which makes it resistant to high temperatures. The insulating ceramic lining keeps the temperature inside The Bastard constant. It also comes with a lifetime warranty from the brand.
The Bastard Models
The Bastard assortment is very wide, for every situation there is a suitable size to find. The grid diameter goes from 25 cm for the small to 59 cm for the XL! According to the brand, most people choose the Large model because it is the most versatile. You can use it to prepare dishes for 2 people or up to 6 people. In addition, the Large offers the possibility of grilling meat and vegetables at the same time. Of course, you can also cook for 10 people on it, then just put a large piece of meat on it and prepare the other dishes in a different way or at a different time.
The compact is a much chosen kamado to use as a second kamado next to a medium or a large (or 2x a compact of course!). In this way you have extra surface for your dish, but the big advantage is that you can get direct & indirect on different devices and at different temperatures. On the large kamado, for example, a large piece of meat is slow-cooked to perfection, while on the compact you grill some vegetables and everything is on the table at the same time. Because of its compact size, the compact is also easy to take to the campsite, to friends and on a weekend away.
The medium is suitable if you do not want to make full dishes at the same time on the kamado, so for example not the previously described meat and vegetables at the same time as with the Large. It is possible, of course, but the available space (half of your grid) is then very limited. For 2 people, this might still be possible, but in practice, you'll soon run out of space. So you choose the medium when you are aware that it is limited in space, but offers all possibilities.
Finally, the XL, what a mega Bastard this is! Incredibly big, thick, heavy but really with unlimited possibilities. You can cook different dishes / ingredients simultaneously and never run out of space.
Accessories for The Bastard
If you want to get even more out of The Bastard you can expand the kamado with several accessories. For example you can use The Bastard for baking, roasting, stewing, cooking and wokking. For each preparation there are special accessories available and we have them for you! Be tempted by all the accessories, the cookbook "We Can BBQ Too" is a perfect start for you and your new Kamado.
