Black Smoke in Rotterdam focuses on open-fire barbecue. It occupies a unique location in the monumental Van Nelle Factory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restaurant's industrial decor is fitting for the location. Guests can sit at the "Hot Seats" right next to the open kitchen, where they can watch the pitmasters at work.
The restaurant specializes in "Hell's Kitchen"—instead of traditional cooking methods, everything is prepared over an open flame. The kitchen is equipped with American smokers, South American asado grills, Indian tandoori ovens, and Japanese hibachi grills. There are no gas knobs, only wood and coal to control the temperature. The bar is also known for its creative cocktails.

How Does a BBQ Ceramic Charcoal Egg Grill Work?
A Kamado grill is a versatile, egg-shaped ceramic cooker that excels in heat retention and precise temperature control. Here's how it works:
Ceramic Insulation – The thick ceramic walls trap heat efficiently, maintaining consistent temperatures for hours with minimal fuel.
Charcoal Fuel – Uses lump charcoal (preferred) or briquettes for clean, high-heat cooking.
Airflow Control – A bottom vent regulates oxygen intake, while a top damper adjusts exhaust, allowing fine-tuning from 200°F (low & slow) to 750°F+ (searing).
Indirect vs. Direct Heat – Place food directly over coals for grilling, or use a heat deflector for indirect smoking/roasting.
Moisture Retention – The sealed design keeps food juicy by recycling steam and smoke.
Auplex kamados combine ancient design with modern efficiency, making them ideal for grilling, smoking, baking, and more—all in one cooker!
