The MONOLITH AVANTGARDE kamado grill
Design meets technology - years of striving for perfection in quality and application have led to the development of the Avantgarde. High-quality silicate ceramic, stainless steel fittings and details such as a glass fiber seal and LED light in the handle are evidence of our developers' extensive experience in application and production.

MATTHIAS OTTO on the development of the AVANTGARDE series
"The MONOLITH AVANTGARDE series is the exclusive design series from MONOLITH. For me, the AVANTGARDE is simply the quintessence of what we have learned in eighteen years of grilling and production technology. It is THE appliance for me. With the AVANTGARDE, we have really taken everything to the next level.
That means whether it's the design, with the new frame, where we have really achieved a level of stability that is unique. It's the stainless steel fittings, which we've also made a little stronger. All in all, we have increased the overall functionality and stability of the barbecue even further and have therefore explored the very top of the possibilities with the AVANTGARDE. We mill all the seats of the clamping rings and the gasket after firing to guarantee a really perfect fit. The side tables, as well as the handle, are made of a completely new material, a heavy bamboo - a carbonized bamboo that is extremely resistant and durable. The unique stainless steel seal is virtually maintenance-free and is very easy to clean. When lifting food in and out of the grill, sometimes something drips onto it and then it is very easy to wipe it off the smooth stainless steel surface.
We have integrated LED lights into the heavy bamboo handle. These LED lights optimally illuminate the grill grate surface and are therefore very helpful when grilling at dusk during the transition phase. With the AVANTGARDE, we are opening up a whole new world of culinary delights, as we can create all kinds of top-quality recipes using any grilling method.
The grill simply offers everything. I can bake with it - it works like a stone oven - I can smoke with it, I can play with it in the low temperature range, so the possibilities of this grill are endless. We have developed a lot of accessories that expand the whole thing even further. For example, a fire plate, which is perfect for cooking prawns, fish or vegetables. You can easily insert pellets via the front opening using a slide system. This makes it very easy to smoke or simply add a little smoky aroma.
We have been producing in China for eighteen years. I have looked all over the world to see where I can find the relevant ceramic expertise, and in the region where we manufacture - the Yixing region - ceramics have been produced there for five thousand years. In the Yixing region, even the street lamps are made of ceramics, so there really is expertise in ceramic production there.
What we are doing is taking this tradition of ceramic production from the Yixing region and combining it with German engineering skills to develop a perfect product."
The top features of the AVANTGARDE series
-
MATTE FINISH
An outstanding feature is the new satin-matt glaze, an extremely resistant mineral glaze that can withstand all weather conditions, temperatures and acids. It also enhances the grill with its color, which matches the stainless steel perfectly. Together with the new frame and its side tables, the grill with its finish forms a harmonious visual unit.
-
SUPERBE CART
The AVANTGARDE frame with its unique design is an absolute highlight! Simple yet accentuated, it sets the scene for the kamado and offers a durable, secure hold. The material and matt finish are weatherproof and durable. The base plate not only looks beautiful, it also offers additional space for barbecue utensils.
-
SPACE FOR ACCESSORIES
The frame offers more than enough space on the underside of the side tables to place useful helpers on stainless steel hooks. They are always within easy reach and offer significant added value. The folding side tables are attached directly to the frame and not to the clamping rings. This gives you significantly more stability and a secure hold for the clamping rings.
-
LED HANDLE LIGHT
Two additional LED lamps have been installed in the handle, which can be operated using a metal switch on the side of the handle. This means you can now barbecue comfortably in the dark without the need for an additional lamp. Ingeniously simple - simply ingenious!
-
HEAVY BAMBOO
The wooden components also have a completely new look: the side tables and handle are made of "heavy bamboo", a material that is produced by carbonizing bamboo fibres and is extremely stable, resistant and also has a classy look and is very sustainable.
-
SMOKING BAR
With the ingenious smoking rail of the Chip Feeder System, smoke pellets can be added easily and conveniently during the grilling process without having to open the lid! It has never been easier to add a subtle smoky aroma to your dishes for an authentic BBQ.
No other grill combines aesthetics, functionality and durability like the new MONOLITH AVANTGARDE. The "ESS-CLASS" among the kamados.

The MONOLITH philosophy
The history of the Osnabrück-based company MONOLITH Grill is characterized by founder Matthias Otto's passion for grilling and his pursuit of quality and perfection. The company was founded in 2008 and is the leading German manufacturer of high-quality kamado grills. Matthias Otto's vision was to develop versatile barbecues that offer both professionals and ambitious hobby barbecuers an exceptional barbecue experience. The path to the perfect kamado grill took Matthias across the globe, all the way to the stronghold of ceramic production: the Chinese province of Yixing, which can look back on 5000 years of experience in ceramic production. There, MONOLITH developed its own ceramic manufacturing process that can meet the requirements of a MONOLITH barbecue: optimum heat storage, resistance to extreme temperatures between 70 and 400 degrees, and a temperature shock resistance that is second to none.
MONOLITH combines German engineering with Chinese ceramic tradition in a masterful ceramic grill that will last a lifetime.
