Where Grill Guru is better
A comparison that only ever favours us isn't a comparison. With Grill Guru it mainly comes down to one thing: price.
- € 899 complete
Simply cheaper
The Original Large costs € 899 complete with plate setter, flip grid and rain cover, cheaper than our own Pro II Large. The XL (56 cm) costs € 1,299, making it both bigger and cheaper than our Pro III Large. On price-to-quality, Grill Guru is the strongest competitor in this comparison silo. - Plus Infinity Gasket
Multi Level System on the XL
The XL comes standard with a Multi Level System and an Infinity Gasket seal. We have a similar multi-level system (Smart Qooking), but not that specific gasket technology. - Direct or via dealer
Buy however you like
Grill Guru sells both direct and through a dealer network, at the same warranty. If you'd still rather buy in person or see it first, you have that choice. With us that's only by appointment in Eindhoven.
Where Grill Bill is better
Four points where we do it better, even when we're more expensive.
- 3 years vs 2 years
Longer warranty on wear parts
On everything except the ceramic we give 3 years. Grill Guru gives 2 years on the firebox. Small difference on paper, but the firebox is exactly the part that takes the most heat and charcoal. - No time limit
No registration deadline
With Grill Guru you have to register within 3 months of purchase for the warranty, or you lose the right to the extra factory warranty. With us there's no deadline to remember. - Stainless steel and cast iron
More grate in the box
Our Large comes with two half stainless-steel grates and two half cast-iron grates. Grill Guru supplies a stainless steel Flip Grid. Cast iron is what you want for grill marks and searing; that saves a later purchase. - From € 189 to € 1,799
More sizes to choose from
We make four sizes across three series, from a Small at € 189 to an XL at € 1,799. Grill Guru has Compact, Large and XL. Looking for an in-between size or an entry model under € 200, there's more to choose from with us.
Frequently asked questions about Grill Bill and Grill Guru
Is Grill Bill cheaper than Grill Guru?
No, the other way around. Grill Guru's Original Large is € 899 complete, below our own Pro II Large (€ 1,349). Their XL (56 cm) costs € 1,299, less than our Pro III Large (€ 1,699) and bigger too. Grill Guru deliberately positions itself as the budget-conscious kamado, and that's accurate: on most comparable sizes Grill Guru is the cheapest of the seven brands in this silo.
If Grill Guru is cheaper, why would I buy Grill Bill?
Mainly for the warranty on wear parts and the equipment. We give 3 years on all other parts, Grill Guru 2 years on the firebox, and with us there's no registration deadline to remember. Our grates combine stainless steel and cast iron, where Grill Guru works with a stainless steel Flip Grid. If you're purely after the lowest entry price, Grill Guru is a serious option.
Who gives the best warranty on the ceramic?
Both brands give a long warranty on the ceramic itself with no course or conditions: Grill Guru 20 years on the outer shell, we give 10 years (20 after the free course). Grill Guru does require registration within 3 months of purchase; with us there's no deadline. On the other parts we give 3 years against their 2 years on the firebox.
Why do I need to take a course for 20 years of warranty?
Because most damage to a kamado happens in the first few months, from things nobody tells you. Firing up too fast, extinguishing it the wrong way, opening the lid at the wrong moment. Our free online course teaches you exactly that, and since we started offering it we've seen less damage. The course costs no money, just some time. Complete it and we double the term on the Pro II and Pro III.
Can I transfer the warranty if I sell my kamado?
Not with us: our warranty applies to the first owner only, partly because we can't establish whether a new owner has taken the course. Whether Grill Guru's warranty is transferable we couldn't find a clear answer to — check with Grill Guru directly if that's a deciding factor for you.
Which size should I choose?
For most households the Large is the right choice: enough for six to eight people. Looking for more capacity, Grill Guru's XL (56 cm) is bigger than our own XL (52 cm) and cheaper too. Our Small at € 189 is mainly meant as a tabletop model or for a balcony; Grill Guru's smallest is the Compact (33 cm).
Can I see a Grill Bill in person somewhere?
By appointment in Eindhoven. Because we don't sell through dealers, our kamados aren't in showrooms across the country — Grill Guru sells both direct and through dealers, so that's more often possible there. On the other hand, with us you're in direct contact with the people who make the appliance, even after your purchase.
