not a cookbook but this is a pretty decent and quick read for getting the basic kamado concepts down.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hot-Coals-Users-Mastering-Kamado/dp/1617691585/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2QZ6NC7FAIZ9U&keywords=kamado+book&qid=1656343106&sprefix=kamado+book%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-6a cheap butane blowtorch works perfectly to light the woodies.
silicone heatproof gloves are also a very good idea. I also use mine to handle charcoal when filling it up. mine are inkbird ones.
the kamado comes with an ash scraper but i'd think about investing in a small ash pan to help empty it and I got a small galvanised bin to put the (cooled) ashes into until there's enough to need to dispose of as well.
some disposable foil pans are handy to have on hand if you need to do a water bath or catch juices that would otherwise end up on the deflector plate.

I have an extra one of these - is someone wants it and can pick it up from N8 they can have it for a forum donation, I’m fucked if I’m returning it to amazon

Aldi Kamado is being delivered tomorrow which I'm super excited about. Completely forgot to prep and buy some bits for it, list currently looks like this:
As we're going to primarily use it for veggie meals I wasn't sure if a thermometer was worth it? Happy to add to the list should I need anything else. Also are there any cookbooks people would recommend?
