How to Slow Cook on a Kadai BBQ

How to Slow Cook on a Kadai BBQ 

Live fire cooking isn’t just about sizzling steaks or quick-seared burgers, it’s also about slowing down, cooking with patience, and unlocking deep, smoky flavour. Fire has always been at the heart of how we cook at Kadai, and with the right accessories, your Kadai BBQ becomes a hub for everything from slow roasts to dramatic whole joints of meat cooked over embers.

Here’s a quick guide to the Kadai accessories that make slow cooking simple, satisfying, and full of flavour.

1. Wood-Fired Oven

Perfect for more than just pizza.
Our Kadai Wood-Fired Oven delivers a steady, controlled heat, ideal for roasting joints of meat or cooking vegetables low and slow. The trick lies in the fire: not as fierce as you’d use for pizza, but consistent and glowing, infusing your food with that rich, smoky depth only real wood can provide. It’s an outdoor alternative to your kitchen oven, only better.

2. Kadai Lid

Transform your Kadai into a kettle barbecue.
Fitted with a built-in temperature gauge and adjustable vent, the Kadai Lid allows you to slow roast, smoke, or even bake with confidence. Add our Smoker Box filled with wood chips, and you’ll unlock layers of flavour, ideal for a festive roast or slow-cooked brisket. It’s also how we cook our Christmas dinner every year, right over the fire.

3. Asado Cross

Inspired by Argentine tradition, reimagined for your garden.
The Kadai Asado Cross is all about theatre and tradition. Designed to hold large joints like pork belly, short ribs, or whole fish, it lets you cook low and slow over an open fire. The frame can be rotated or raised and lowered for temperature control, turning any gathering into a live fire spectacle. It’s rustic, rewarding, and perfect with a cold beer in hand.

4. Tripod Roaster

Suspended flavour, slowly roasted to perfection.
Used with our Kadai Cooking Tripod, the Tripod Roaster allows food to hang gently over the flames, ideal for slow-cooking a whole chicken, a head of cauliflower, or even a pineapple for dessert. This is one of our most popular accessories, adding visual drama and incredible taste to every cook.

Whether you’re hosting a garden feast or experimenting on a quiet Sunday afternoon, slow cooking over fire brings out the best in your ingredients, and in your Kadai.
