Tiger’s “Tiger Kamado” is popular among customers for the following reasons.

(1) Novelty of cooking rice using newspaper as fuel

Tiger developed an internal structure that efficiently burns familiar newspapers and milk cartons to cook delicious rice. (For 3 cups of rice, 9 newspapers or 4 1/2 milk cartons are enough to cook rice. ) Even in an environment without electricity or gas, freshly cooked rice can be served with water, rice, and newspaper.

(2) Growing popularity of items that serve as both outdoor equipment and disaster prevention goods

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in products that can be used at any time, without separating daily life (normal times) and emergencies (times of disaster). In fact, one of our purchasers said, “I purchased this product because it can be used as outdoor goods and camping goods in everyday life and as disaster prevention goods in the event of a disaster. This is one of the reasons why we purchased this product.

(3) Convenience of easy rice cooking

By alternately placing newspaper in the two holes at the bottom of the kamado and repeatedly lighting the fire, the delicious “first a little, then a lot, then a little, then a lot” cooking style can be reproduced. This is easy for children and people not used to camping to use.
