Pairing the Flamery KONRO PRO.5.4 with Your Ceramic BBQ: The Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Combo

Looking to take your outdoor kitchen to the next level? Pairing a ceramic BBQ like the Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe with Flamery’s KONRO PRO.5.4 tabletop grill is a game-changer for any fire-loving chef. This dynamic duo gives you the best of both worlds: the slow-cooking, temperature-perfect versatility of a kamado, and the intense, precise heat of the KONRO PRO.5.4 for finishing and restaurant-style presentation.

The result? A setup that rivals professional kitchens, where dishes move seamlessly from long, controlled cooks to blistering sears, all without compromise.

Why Add a Flamery KONRO PRO.5.4 to Your Outdoor Kitchen?

Traditional Japanese Konro grills are loved by chefs for their ability to deliver extreme, clean heat in a compact format. But the KONRO PRO.5.4 isn’t just any Konro — it’s a refined, UK-engineered evolution of the original design, crafted to meet the demands of home chefs and professionals alike.

🔥 Built for Precision

With a stainless steel perforated grill alongside an optional electro-polished 12-gauge mesh grill, the KONRO PRO.5.4 offers exceptional heat retention and even distribution. Dual adjustable air vents give you fine control over the burn rate, letting you manage anything from a gentle smoulder to a searing inferno.

🔥 Ready for Service

This tabletop grill excels as a finishing station. After slow-smoking brisket in your Big Green Egg or roasting lamb in your Kamado Joe, move your proteins to the KONRO PRO.5.4 for a final char. Its high heat and open design create a crisp, caramelised exterior in seconds — a technique favoured by chefs worldwide.

🔥 Compact & Portable

Weighing just 24kg and fitted with premium leather handles, the KONRO PRO.5.4 is built to move. Set it up alongside your ceramic BBQ for a multi-zone cooking experience, or bring it tableside for interactive grilling with guests.

The Ceramic BBQ Advantage

Ceramic cookers like the Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe are prized for their ability to maintain consistent temperatures for hours. They excel at:

• Low-and-slow smoking for pulled pork, ribs, or brisket.
• Baking wood-fired pizzas or sourdough bread.
• Roasting large cuts like chicken or beef tenderloin.

But while they’re unbeatable for long cooks and indirect heat, kamados take time to heat up or cool down — not ideal when you need intense, direct heat on demand.

This is where the KONRO PRO.5.4 fills the gap.

The Perfect Pairing: Kamado + KONRO PRO.5.4

Combining these two grills unlocks a professional-level cooking workflow:

🥩 Finish with Fire

Use your ceramic BBQ for long, slow cooks, then transfer your meats to the KONRO PRO.5.4 for a high-heat finish. Think:

• Reverse-seared ribeye with a perfect crust.
• Crispy chicken skin without overcooking the flesh.
• Flame-kissed vegetables or skewers for vibrant sides.

This two-stage process mirrors the approach of top kitchens, where chefs use a Konro-style grill for the final touch before service.

🍢 Expand Your Menu

While your kamado handles larger cuts or baking, the KONRO PRO.5.4 can simultaneously:

• Grill yakitori skewers as appetisers.
• Sear prawns, scallops, or delicate fish fillets.
• Toast flatbreads or char seasonal vegetables.

The removable hotplate accessory is perfect for smash burgers or plancha-style searing, giving you even more flexibility.

🔥 High Heat on Demand

Unlike a ceramic BBQ that requires vent adjustments to shift between temperatures, the KONRO PRO.5.4 reaches blistering heat within minutes. Its vermiculite-lined chamber focuses heat upwards, creating the perfect conditions for fast, controlled grilling.

Why the KONRO PRO.5.4 Stands Apart

While traditional Konro grills are often made from ceramic materials that can crack with heavy use, Flamery’s KONRO PRO.5.4 is designed for longevity and performance:

• 25mm vermiculite lining for exceptional insulation.
• Powder-coated mild steel outer body for durability.
• 304 stainless steel inner body for food-safe resilience.
• Leather handles for style and portability.

This is a Konro grill reimagined — stronger, smarter, and made to complement your entire outdoor kitchen.

Elevate Your Outdoor Kitchen

Pairing your ceramic BBQ with the Flamery KONRO PRO.5.4 transforms your setup into a chef’s playground. It’s about more than just grilling; it’s about precision, versatility, and theatre.

From low-and-slow smoking to finishing with fire, this combination gives you the tools to cook like the pros — and impress like them too.
