ABOUT YOUR KAMADO
Dating back 4000 years ago, archaeologists have discovered large clay vessels thought to be early
incarnations of the Kamado ceramic cooker. Since then it has evolved in many ways; removable lid, added
draft door for better heat control and also the switch from wood to charcoal as the primary fuel. In Japan,
the Mushikamado was a round clay pot with a removable domed lid designed for steaming rice. The name
'Kamado' is, in fact, the Japanese word for 'stove' or 'cooking range'. The name where adopted by the
Americans and has now become a generic term for this style of ceramic cooker.
Kamado cookers are extremely versatile. It can be used for grilling or smoking but also pizzas, bread, pies
and cookies can be baked effortlessly inside them. Due to their excellent heat retention properties, high
temperatures can be achieved, and maintained by precise control of airflow via the tap and bottom vents.
High temperatures are ideal for fast cooking burgers and sausages whilst low heats will cook larger joints
over a long period of time. Why not try adding same wood chips to the charcoal or try combining different
flavor wood chips to make your meats even more flavorsome.
CURING THE KAMADO
•
On the rim of the BBQ body and lid, a black felt gasket is applied to increase the air-tightness of the rim. This black felt
gasket should not be removed, but has to stay in position during use.
•To start a fire, place rolled up newspaper with some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate (7) in the base of
the Ceramic BBQ. Then place 2 or 3 handful of charcoal over the top of the newspaper.
•The maximum amount of charcoal is 0,7kg.
•Do not use petrol, spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
•Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long nosed lighter of safety matches.
•DO NOT overload the unit with firelighters –if the fire is too intense this could damage the ceramic BBQ.
•Leave until all the firelighters is used and extinguished.
•If the first burns are too high, it could damage the felt gasket seal before it has time to mature properly.
•After first use, inspect all the fasteners for tightness. The metal band connecting your lid to the base will expand from the
heat, and this could come loose. It is recommended you check and if necessary tighten the band with a spanner.
•You can now use your ceramic BBQ as normal.
•Repeat the curing procedure as start-up, every time when the BBQ hasn’t been use for a long time
EXTINGUISHING
•To extinguish unit –stop adding firelighters and close all the vents and the lid to allow the fire to die naturally.
•DO NOT use water to extinguish the charcoals as this could damage the ceramic Kamado.

Care and safe useguidelines
STORAGE
•
When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the Kamado once completely cooled with a suitable rain cover.
The chrome plated cooking grill is
NOT
dishwasher safe; use a mild detergent with warm water.
•
When using the Kamado push down on both of the locking wheels to stop the unit moving during use.
•
It is recommended the Kamado be stored under cover in a garage or shed over winter for complete protection.
CLEANING
•
The Kamado is self-cleaning. Heat it up to 260°C for 30 minutes and it will scorch off all of the food and
debris.
•
DO NOT
use water or any other types of cleaning product to clean the inside of your Kamado. The walls are
porous and will absorb any fluids used. This could cause the Kamado to crack. If the soot becomes excessive
then use a wire brush or the ash tool (not supplied) to scrape off the carbon remnants before the next use.
•
To clean the grills and grates use a non-abrasive cleaner once the unit has fully cooled.
•
To clean the outer surface wait until the Kamado is cool and use a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
MAINTENANCE
•
Tighten the bands and oil the hinge 2 times a year or more if needed.
LIGHTING, USAGE AND CARE INFORMATION
•
Ensure the Kamado is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat resistant non-flammable surface away
from flammable items.
•
Ensure the Kamado has a minimum of 2m overhead clearance and has a minimum 2m clearance from
other surrounding items.
•
To start a fire, place rolled up newspaper with some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate in
the base of the Kamado. Then place 2 or 3 handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of the newspaper.
DO NOT
use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
•
Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has
caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
•
Allow the charcoal to heat up and be kept red hot for at least 30 minutes prior to the first cooking on the
Kamado.
DO NOT
cook before the charcoal has a coating of ash.
•
It is recommended you do not stoke or turn the coals once they are lightened. This allows the charcoals to
burn more uniformly and efficiently.
