How to Use the Kamado's Multi-Level Rack (a Guide to Cooking More and Better)
One of the most versatile accessories included with the 22-inch Kame Fire Kamado is the multi-level rack.
Although many owners initially focus on the main grate or the pizza stone, the multi-level system lets you take advantage of one of the Kamado's greatest strengths:
cooking at different heights using distinct heat zones
This opens the door to more advanced preparations, greater cooking capacity, and far more precise control over the temperature reaching each food.
In this guide you will learn how the multi-level rack works and how to make the most of it.
What is a multi-level rack?
It is a system that lets you place food at different heights inside the Kamado.
Instead of cooking on a single traditional grate, you can create distinct cooking zones.
This allows you to:
- increase capacity
- better control the intensity of the heat
- cook several recipes at the same time
Why is it so useful?
Inside a Kamado, not every zone receives exactly the same thermal intensity.
Food closer to the charcoal receives more energy.
Food placed higher up cooks more gently.
Thanks to the multi-level rack, you can use this characteristic to your advantage.
Benefit #1: Greater cooking capacity
This is one of the most obvious benefits.
Instead of using a single cooking surface, you can distribute food across different levels.
Ideal for family gatherings
It lets you cook:
- burgers
- ribs
- chicken
- vegetables
all at once.
Benefit #2: Different temperatures in a single cook
One of the most interesting features of the multi-level system is that it lets you work with different heat intensities.
For example:
Lower level
Ideal for:
- searing
- burgers
- quick cuts
Upper level
Ideal for:
- vegetables
- chicken
- delicate foods
Benefit #3: More control over the cook
Some recipes call for fine adjustments.
The multi-level rack lets you move food without changing the Kamado's overall temperature.
This offers a level of control that is hard to achieve on traditional grills.
When to use the multi-level rack
It is especially useful when you are preparing:
BBQ for several people
It lets you make better use of all the available space.
Full menus
For example:
- the main protein
- vegetables
- side dishes
all at the same time.
Indirect cooking
It works perfectly alongside the heat deflector.
A practical example
Imagine a weekend gathering.
You can use:
Upper level
- vegetables
- corn on the cob
- artisan bread
Lower level
Everything cooking simultaneously.
Combining it with the heat deflector
The multi-level rack works especially well with the indirect cooking system.
This setup is ideal for:
- brisket
- pulled pork
- ribs
- whole chicken

Grates and food
Mistake #1 — Always using a single level
Many owners spend months using only the main grate.
This wastes a large part of the Kamado's potential.
Mistake #2 — Overloading a single zone
Distributing the food properly improves air circulation and the evenness of the cook.
Mistake #3 — Ignoring the thermal differences
Each level receives heat differently.
Learning these differences dramatically improves your results.
Which recipes make the most of the multi-level system
The preparations that benefit most are:
BBQ ribs
Smoked chicken
Pulled pork
Grilled vegetables
Full menus for gatherings
A little-known advantage of the Kamado
Many people buy a Kamado for its ability to smoke or cook pizza.
However, the multi-level rack often becomes one of their favorite accessories once they start using it regularly.
It lets you cook more food and get more out of every session.
