According to our barbecue expert
A smaller version of the large kamado barbecue of The Bastard, that's The Bastard Compact. The ceramic barbecue can do anything the larger version can, but for up to 4 people. The black kettle is made of cordierite ceramic. This makes it resistant to temperatures of up to 450 degrees and ensures it retains heat well. This allows for several cooking techniques. Those include smoking, grilling, stewing, and scorching. This barbecue's big advantage over its larger brothers is that it's easy to carry with you, thanks to its compact size. The sturdy metal underframe with wooden handles is included by default.

I've had the Bastard for 3 weeks now and use it almost daily. It takes some getting used to in the beginning, because you don't see the coals and the meat. At my old barbecue I ran every 4-5 minutes to check and turn the meat. Actually, I was constantly busy. With a bastard it is much quieter. A bastard heats the meat all around, because it is an oven. Set the temperature according to the recipe and use the specified time, turn the meat after half the time. Then use a core temperature meter and as soon as the set temperature is reached, the thermometer will beep and your meat is really perfect. For good grilling you still need a cast iron grid and a grid lifter to place and remove the grid. Grid weighs over 3 kilos. A Plate-setter (heat shield) for indirect cooking/baking/grilling, such as grilling salmon on the skin. And another pizza stone for the pizza (also indirectly but at 300-350 degrees) and yes then the pizza also tastes like the real Italian stone oven pizza.
A very big advantage is that while baking, you can just sit quietly at the table with a glass of wine and a good conversation. So no more stress and quietly wait for the beeping of your thermometer. Really perfect.
should you still have doubts? Look in the book, hot coals. It explains the origin, use, accessories and possibilities of the kamado.

Bought Bastard compact to supplement other bbqs. All kamados extensively compared. Best kamados at the moment are BGE, Bastard and Kamado Joe. In particular due to the use of material (cordierite), thickness of the wall, finish and warranty. Format is personal to everyone. Compact does exactly the same as a medium or larger. Bastard chosen mainly by price difference BGE, finish (much better than BGE) and NL team is behind. Choice for Coolblue in particular because of great service, right to exist in the future (due to possible warranty mediation and vs other online providers). Good service and aftercare also emphasized by a card that was sent afterwards by the extremely helpful and professional deliverers.
