American soldiers then brought the idea back to the US, heralding the birth of the now world-famous kamado grills. In Germany, it was his huge passion for barbecuing that led Matthias Otto to establish

the MONOLITH Grill brand. In the year 2005 he fell in love with his first ceramic grill, but at the same time identified multiple ways of optimising it. Which is why by 2008, he had developed his very own kamado and introduced it onto the market.

Twelve years later Monolith has grown to become much more: Monolith is a team of grill lovers and BBQ enthusiasts, it is the idea of unrestricted freedom when grilling, a universal outdoor kitchen with an ever-growing range of accessories – and ultimately, friendship between grillers.
