Vision Grills Professional C-Series Review
One of the stand outs emerging from the growing kamado grill crowd is Vision Grills. Expert grillers have noted that this is a company to watch for due to their innovative designs. Most notable is their unique ProZone system. This system features a slide out insert that includes a dual damper intake, electric fire starter and an ash removal tray. The company burst onto the kamado grill scene, and has made quite a splash. With cookers on the market like their Vision Grills C-Series Professional, it’s no wonder they are capturing a fair share of the market. They have made a compelling case for you to consider their grills as an alternative to high Big Green Egg prices.
They’ve pushed the design of traditional cookers with new innovation. Their design gives the chef more control than ever before, and significantly decreases the learning curve of classic kamado style grills. This makes the Vision Grills model an ideal choice for those who are new to outdoor cooking, or people who are looking for a hassle free experience.

What We Liked
This grill eliminates some of the most common complaints from kamado grill users. It’s electric starter port makes lighting your cooker incredibly easy. Before this technology, you had to mess around with different techniques to light your cooker. This model also features calibrated cooking vents. This gives you a lot more control over the temperature, and majorly decreases the learning curve of using a kamado style grill. This is one of the most beginner-friendly models I’ve seen so far. The included bundle of an electric start, two tier grate, and pizza stone is fantastic.
What to Look Out For
Although the quality and construction of the Vision Grills C-Series Professional grill is, for the most part, top notch, there have been a handful of complaints. Some users have complained about chips in the ceramic and manufacturing errors that allow heat to escape. Vision Grills offers a solid warranty and great customer service in case you do run into issues.
Vision Grills C-Series Professional Verdict
The patented ProZone system really pushes the Vision Grills C-Series Professional ahead of the pack. A lot of people who are new to kamado style cooking often express frustration with the learning curve. Many traditional models require some practice to learn how to achieve certain temperatures. The team at Vision Grills has been careful in their design to combat these issues. Although this unit is more expensive that some of your entry level models, like the Char-Griller, the hassle free design more than justifies the extra investment.
