Chef Russell will be preparing two signature dishes, each showcasing a different Monolith cooking technique. Every guest will receive complimentary taster canapés.
Succulent chicken breast infused with warming spices, slowly rotated over gentle heat inside the Monolith Icon’s precision-controlled environment. The combination of the thick ceramic walls and steady temperature create a golden exterior while the meat stays juicy throughout.
This is where the rotisserie attachment truly shines — you’ll witness how the air circulation inside a kamado is fundamentally different from open-flame grills. Watch the transformation from raw to restaurant-quality in real time.
Brazilian picanha — the premium cut with its characteristic fat cap — gets the high-heat treatment on the second Monolith Icon. Chef Russell will show you how to achieve that golden crust while keeping the interior perfectly medium-rare, using the kamado’s unique airflow dynamics.
Finish with a vibrant chimichurri sauce — fresh herbs, garlic, and bright acidity that cuts through the richness of the beef. This dish proves that kamado grilling isn’t just for smoking. When you need temperature precision and even searing across a large surface, Monolith delivers.
Our chief guest, chef Russell is one of Ireland’s most respected BBQ experts and content creator, known for his authentic approach to fire cooking. With years of hands-on experience across multiple kamado platforms, he’s passionate about helping home cooks unlock the full potential of their grills.
As a Monolith enthusiast, chef Russell appreciates the German precision engineering, superior heat retention, and the all-in-one versatility that makes kamado cooking accessible to everyone from beginners to seasoned pitmasters. His demonstrations focus on practical technique and real results.
Outdoor cooking technique, temperature control, and real-world tips from someone who grills year-round in Irish weather.
Chef Russell will be cooking on two Monolith Icon grills (including the rotisserie setup). All three models in the Monolith range will be on display at our showroom, ready for you to see, touch, and ask about.
The Monolith Icon is the gateway to world-class kamado cooking. Don’t let the accessible price fool you — this Monolith carries the same precision German engineering found in the larger models. The 40cm cooking diameter is ideal for couples, small families, or anyone with a compact patio.
Featuring 25mm thick ceramic walls, the Icon holds temperature with remarkable stability while using significantly less charcoal than competitors. The air-lift hinge makes one-handed operation effortless, and the precision slide vent gives you restaurant-level temperature control from low-and-slow smoking at 80°C to searing steaks at 350°C+. This is the grill chef Russell will be demonstrating on — see it in action at the event.
The Monolith Classic (TWO.55) is where most serious grillers land, and for good reason. With a 55cm cooking diameter, you have room for a full rack of ribs, a butterflied leg of lamb, or multiple pizzas in rotation. This is the kamado that handles everything from weeknight dinners to hosting 20 guests.
What sets it apart? Thicker ceramic construction means better heat retention and fuel efficiency. The air-lift hinge system is standard (not an upgrade), and the 304 stainless steel hardware throughout ensures corrosion resistance in Irish conditions. The result is a grill that performs better, lasts longer, and costs less to run.
The Monolith Avantgarde is for those who refuse to compromise on either performance or design. This is the kamado reimagined as a piece of outdoor furniture — with the same 55cm cooking surface and German engineering as the Classic, wrapped in a stunning contemporary aesthetic.
The minimalist silhouette suits modern gardens and architectural outdoor spaces. Inside, you get the same exceptional heat retention, precision airflow, and versatility, from smoking to searing to baking. It’s the choice for design-conscious grillers who want performance without compromise.
Watch chef Russell demonstrate rotisserie cooking and high-heat searing — two techniques that transform what’s possible on a home grill. You’ll leave with practical knowledge you can apply immediately to your own cooking.
Food videos are great, but tasting food cooked in a Monolith is something else. Our complimentary tasters let you experience the flavour and quality first-hand — you’ll taste the difference that German engineering and precision makes.
Chef Russell and our team are there to answer your questions. Sizing, accessories, maintenance, techniques, seasonal use in Irish weather — get expert advice tailored to your specific needs and garden.
10% off all products on the day only. Whether you’re ready to buy now or planning for next season, this is a significant saving on Ireland’s only genuine Monolith range.
No. The Monolith Outdoor Cooking Event is completely free and open to the public. Just pop in anytime between 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM on Saturday, 23rd May 2026. No reservations needed.
This event launches the new partnership between Monolith and The Outdoor Scene, introducing Monolith ceramic BBQs to Ireland. Through live cooking demonstrations and expert guidance, guests can discover a premium alternative to Big Green Egg and Kamado Joe while flattening the learning curve on a charcoal BBQ.
The event runs from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM, so come whenever suits you. Expect the busiest periods mid-afternoon, so if you prefer a more intimate chat with chef Russell and our team, arriving earlier or later may give you more one-on-one time.
