also a good time to experiment with the grill’s temperature adjustment via the air vents to get the feel for how the
grill will operate.
WARNING: Every part of the grill will be hot during and for a period of time
after use. Use caution, keep children away from the grill, and always use
gloves and protective clothing during use. Never touch the Kamado body
while in use.
TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE GRILL LID AS HOT COALS CAN FLASH SHOULD
THEY RECEIVE A RUSH OF AIR. ALWAYS ENSURE BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM VENTS ARE
OPEN
FULLY BEFORE OPENING THE GRILL LID. ALWAYS OPEN THE LID TO ROUGHLY 1-2” AND HOLD IT
THERE FOR 5-10 SECONDS TO LET OXYGEN SLOWLY ENTER THE GRILL. THEN COMPLETELY
LIFT THE LID OPEN SLOWLY. AT ALL TIMES THE USE OF LONG HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES IS
NECESSARY FOR SAFETY.
Using the Grill
Selecting your fuel-Hardwood Charcoal
Kamado grills perform best with the use of hardwood charcoal as the fuel. This is dissimilar to charcoal
briquettes in that it is only the charred down wood without the additives found in processed charcoal briquettes.
This fuel source provides the most controllable temperature settings as the burn of the hardwood charcoal is
directly dependent on the oxygen you feed it. This allows the kamado grill to achieve and maintain both low and
high temperatures for long periods of time. The addition of flavored woods with the hardwood charcoal is an
option to impart various smoky flavors while cooking.
Selecting your fuel- Charcoal Briquettes
Although this fuel source lessens most of what folks get a kamado grill for (the control of heat and temperature),
there is no danger to the product in using this fuel source. The nostalgic smell of charcoal briquettes burning or
possibly the last minute lack of hardwood charcoal at the local convenience store are both possible reasons
why this fuel source might come into play.
Selecting your fuel- True Hardwoods
Although this fuel source doesn’t provide the same level of control of heat and temperature as hardwood
charcoal, there is no danger to the product in using this fuel source. This fuel source typically requires a bed of
coal or small kindling as a starter for the hardwoods. Always use seasoned/dried hardwoods as your fuel.
