The Divide & Conquer system for kamado barbecues, also called a multi-level cooking kit, is a complete accessory designed to unleash the full potential of your kamado. It allows you to cook on multiple levels, create different heat zones, and easily perform direct, indirect, slow, or smoked cooking.
For a novice user, this system makes using a kamado much simpler. Instead of cooking all food on a single grate, the Divide & Conquer allows you to divide the cooking space into several zones. For example, you can sear meat over the coals on one half of the grate, while cooking vegetables, chicken, or ribs more gently on the other side thanks to the half-moon heat deflectors.
This kamado cooking kit includes a main frame, half-moon grates, ceramic deflectors, and an upper rack. The grates allow food to be placed at different heights, while the deflectors protect food from the direct heat of the charcoal. Your kamado barbecue can thus function as a grill, a smoker, or a true charcoal oven.
The Divide & Conquer system is ideal for varying cooking methods: grilling, smoking, low-temperature cooking, indirect cooking, cooking large cuts of meat, fish, vegetables, pizzas, or shared dishes. It provides more control, more cooking surface, and better heat management in your kamado barbecue.
What is a Divide & Conquer system for kamado used for?
The system allows you to:
- create a direct cooking zone and an indirect cooking zone;
- cook multiple foods at the same time;
- use multiple cooking heights;
- protect delicate foods from direct heat;
- master slow cooking and smoking;
- transform the kamado into a charcoal oven;
- better control temperature and heat distribution;
- optimize the cooking space of your kamado barbecue.
How to use this multi-level cooking kit?
Place the main structure of the Divide & Conquer system into the firebox of your kamado barbecue. Then add the half-moon grates and heat deflectors according to the desired cooking type.
For direct cooking, use a grate over the coals. This is ideal for searing a ribeye, steaks, skewers, or grilled vegetables.
For indirect cooking, place a half-moon deflector under the grate. The heat does not directly touch the food, allowing it to cook more slowly and evenly. This configuration is perfect for whole chicken, ribs, roasts, smoking, or long cooks.
You can also combine both methods at the same time: one half of the kamado for direct cooking and the other half for indirect cooking. This is one of the great advantages of the Divide & Conquer, as it allows you to manage multiple preparations in a single barbecue.

Questions before choosing your kamado?
A kamado is much more than just a barbecue. Thanks to its ceramic bowl and excellent heat retention, it can be used for grilling, searing, smoking, roasting, slow cooking, and even making pizzas or bread. It can be used for quick high-temperature cooking as well as long, slow cooking.
For best results, use natural lump charcoal, without additives or chemical fire starters. This type of charcoal provides better combustion, produces less ash, and allows for better temperature control. Avoid classic briquettes, which are often less suitable for kamado cooking.
Yes, temperature control is achieved using the vents located at the top and bottom of the kamado. By opening or closing these air inlets, you adjust the temperature according to the desired cooking type: low temperature for smoking, medium heat for roasting, or very high temperature for searing meat or cooking pizza. After a few uses, adjusting becomes very simple.
The choice depends on the number of people you regularly cook for and the space you have available.
To help you choose:
- 15 inches: ideal for up to 6 people
- 18 inches: 39 cm grate — ideal for 6 to 8 people
- 21 inches: 47 cm grate — ideal for 8 to 10 people
- 23 inches: 50 cm grate — ideal for 10 to 12 people
- 25 inches: 55 cm grate — ideal for 12 to 16 people
For typical family use, a 15 or 18-inch model is usually sufficient. To host regularly or cook large cuts of meat, opt for a 21-inch model or larger.
Yes, maintenance is very simple. Just heat the kamado to a high temperature for a few minutes to burn off cooking residues, then scrub the grill with our cleaning brush. Once the ashes have cooled, all that remains is to regularly remove them to keep your kamado clean and ready for use.
Lighting is quick and easy. Place natural charcoal in the basin, add a natural firelighter, then open the top and bottom vents to allow air to circulate. Once the charcoal is well lit, close the lid and adjust the vents to reach the desired temperature.
The kamado's ceramic is guaranteed for 20 years, a testament to its strength and durable design. This barbecue is designed to accompany you for many years, performing as well for cooking as it is elegant on a patio or in a garden.
