Quick answer
Yes, if you want a work board that is easy to clean. It is cellulose fibre and resin, 42 x 32.7 cm, 1.2 kg, and the listing calls it dishwasher safe. At 0.7 cm thick it is thin: fine for carving a medium joint, but not a butcher's block. It is rated 4.5 out of 5 from 204 Amazon reviews.
Cellulose fibre and resin, 42 x 32.7 cm, 1.2 kg and dishwasher safe. It is for carving what leaves the kamado, not for cooking on.
The Arcos Tablas series (part 709300) is a rectangular, smooth, brown cutting board. According to the Amazon listing it is made of cellulose fibre and resin, measures 42 x 32.7 cm (427 x 327 mm in the title) at 0.7 cm thick, and weighs 1.2 kg. The maker is Arcos Hermanos S.A., the Albacete firm, and the stated country of origin is Spain. The listing adds three features: dishwasher safe, heat resistant and reversible. And a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
On a kamado you do not cook on it. A piece that comes off the coals needs resting and cutting, and that is where a surface that stands up to the knife and can go into the dishwasher, grease and juices and all, comes in. The listing recommends it for cutting food, chopping vegetables and carving meat. After a [smoked pulled pork](/recetas/pulled-pork-ahumado-carolina), the shoulder wants a flat surface to be shredded on; and if you are still unsure which cut to bring home, the [guide to meat cuts](/guias/cortes-de-carne-para-kamado-equivalencias-espana) will place you.
On size: 42 x 32.7 cm is a little less than the grate of a 46 cm kamado (Large or Classic), so whatever fills half the grate fits comfortably, and whatever comes off a 33 cm MiniMax or Joe Jr fits with room to spare. A whole brisket, or a 61 cm XL or Big Joe grate loaded to the edge, may not fit: measure your piece before ordering. Heat resistant calls for caution: the listing gives no temperature, so we treat it as a work board, not a griddle and not a place to set down a hot grate.
What is worth knowing before you buy. First comes thickness: 0.7 cm in the details table and 6.5 mm in one of the bullets, in other words a thin board. It is for carving and chopping, not for striking bones. The second is what it does not say: in the only two photos you can make out a groove around the edge and a hole in one corner, but no text on the listing describes them, so we promise neither a juice channel nor a hanging hole; check the images. The third is catalogue noise: the title mentions "17x", the model appears as "TABLAS" and the details include an "FC Barcelona" that has nothing to do with a board. And we have not tested it.
Next to the Relaxdays 45 x 38 cm bamboo board in the catalogue, this one is much thinner (0.7 cm against 2.5 cm) and lighter (1.2 kg against 1.55 kg), and the listing rates it dishwasher safe, whereas the bamboo asks for hand washing. Bamboo wins on size and presence; this one on ease of cleaning. Its Amazon rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 204 reviews, buyers' data and not a test of ours.
Verdict: a thin, light, easy-to-wash work board for carving what comes off the kamado. If you want a block with some weight, or a board to serve on, look at the wood.
A thin, light cellulose board that can be washed in the dishwasher, meant for carving medium pieces. For striking bones or serving at the table, there are better options.

Relaxdays 10018882: 45 x 38 cm bamboo cutting board with two raised edges
The Relaxdays bamboo board, 45 x 38 cm, is the opposite pairing to this one: larger and thicker (2.5 cm against 0.7 cm), 1.55 kg against 1.2 kg, but hand wash only, while the cellulose Arcos goes in the dishwasher. If easy cleaning comes first, pick this one; if you need more surface and body, take the bamboo.

ThermoPro TP17H: 4-probe wired thermometer, -10 to 300 °C
The ThermoPro TP17H, with four wired probes, comes before the board: it tells you when to take the piece off the kamado and when it is ready to cut, without poking blindly. The board is where whatever the probe watched ends up, so together they cover the start and the end of the rest.

Arcos Riviera Slicing Knife with Granton Edge 250 mm
The Arcos Riviera 250 mm ham knife with hollow-ground dimples is the one that works on the board: slicing an already rested piece, such as a loin or a turkey breast, into thin slices. It is from the same maker as the board, Arcos, and 42 x 32.7 cm leaves room to manoeuvre a blade that long.

FAQ
Can I put the board on the grate or use it as a trivet?
The listing calls it heat resistant but gives no temperature, and without that figure we will not tell you it withstands a grate fresh off the fire or a ceramic ring at full heat. Our advice is to treat it as a work surface: leave it next to the kamado, not on top. If you want somewhere to rest hot pieces, use the board for meat that has already rested, not for iron that has just left the coals.
Does it go in the dishwasher?
Yes, per the listing: it appears as dishwasher safe in the maintenance bullet, in the details table and among the special features. It gives no programme or maximum temperature, so if your dishwasher runs very hot it is sensible to start with a normal programme and see how it comes out. After cutting fatty meat that is its practical advantage over wood, which usually asks for hand washing. The stated warranty is 2 years against manufacturing defects.
How does it differ from the Relaxdays bamboo board?
In material, size and cleaning. This one is cellulose and resin, 42 x 32.7 x 0.7 cm, 1.2 kg, and the listing rates it dishwasher safe. The Relaxdays bamboo is 45 x 38 cm with 2.5 cm total thickness, weighs 1.55 kg and asks for hand washing. Bamboo is bigger and has more body; this is thinner and cleans without effort. They do not replace each other: it depends whether you put size or cleaning first.
Cellulose or wood: how is it on the knife?
The listing says nothing about the edge, and we have no test of our own, so we do not promise how well it spares a good knife. What we do know is that cellulose with resin is a hard, thin surface, and that wood is usually kinder to the edge and thicker. If you have high-end knives you want to look after, wood is the safe bet; if you put the dishwasher and a light board first, this one does the job for carving.
