Abstract
Embodiments of the presently disclosed invention comprise systems and methods for joining and securing components formed of different materials in a kamado-style grill. For instance, in an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, ceramic and metallic portions of a base of a kamado-style grill are joined using a tension element that is positioned between the ceramic and metal portions. In some embodiments, the tension element may be expanded or retracted to create a friction fit between the ceramic and metal portions. The tension element may be positioned below an upper lip or a substantially horizontal ledge that prevents a user from physically separating the ceramic and metal portions of the base of the kamado-style grill.
