Vision grills Classic B Series User manual

Welcome
Cooking with your Kamado
Your new Vision Grills Kamado is the complete outdoor
cooking appliance that allows you to sear, grill, bake
and smoke all types of food. For best results, we
recommend using natural lump charcoal made from
hardwoods. Compared to briquettes, natural charcoals
start faster, burn cleaner and longer, reach higher
temperatures and produce less ash. Left-over natural
charcoal also relights for re-use. Before re-starting
the grill, knock off excess ashes to any remaining
charcoal. Routinely empty ashes, but only empty ashes
when grill is cold.
Starting your Vision Kamado Grills is simple and fast:
Open grill lid, open top and bottom vents wide open, fill
the inner fire bowl with enough charcoal to just cover
the air holes, then light the charcoal using either an
electric starter or approved grill starters. After several
coals are burning, spread evenly, close lid, adjust
top and bottom vents, and wait for the Kamado to
reach your desired cooking temperature. As needed,
add more charcoal by using the flip grate feature,
being careful not to burn yourself with the hot food or
cooking grate.
Welcome to Kamado cooking! Our Vision Grills
Kamado is based on 3,000+ years of clay pot
cooking from around the world. Over generations
our ancestors have continued to refine kamado
techniques for grilling, smoking, baking and cooking
all types of meats, poultry, fish and vegetables.
Kamado cooking locks in moisture and provides a variety of
ways to infuse different tastes into your foods that turns weekend
grillers into neighborhood chefs.
Our Vision Grills Kamado builds on this heritage with fresh
aesthetics, safety and convenience features, easy-lift lid
with spring assist and high quality materials to define a new
industry standard for design and innovation. The thick ceramic
construction of our grill provides superior thermal insulation
allowing you to grill, cook, bake or smoke regardless of the
season, from the hot summer days in our home town of St. Louis
to the cold snowy days in Ottawa Canada.
In this manual we provide the basics to get you cooking and invite you to our website, www.visiongrills.com,
where we share recipes, detailed Use & Care information and contact information if you need more help. From
our entire team here at Vision Grills, thanks for your purchase and welcome to becoming the destination eatery
in your neighborhood!

SET-UP
WARNING
ATTENTION! Use caution when cooking, as grill surfaces get hot. To avoid
burns, always use protective gloves to adjust top and bottom vents when
grill is in use. Do not wear loose clothing near the grill.
ATTENTION! This barbecue will become very hot, do not move it during
operation. For outdoor cooking use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in
an enclosed space. Use grill only in well-ventilated areas. Keep immediate
area around the grill free from combustible materials. Allow for at least
3 feet/1 meter of clearance around grill (house, other outdoor products,
hanging tree limbs, shrubs, etc.)
WARNING! Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times.
Do not allow children to operate grill. Never leave grill unattended when in
use.
Grill should be placed securely on a level base prior to use. Only operate
grill on a hard, stable, level surface (concrete patio, ground, etc.) capable of
supporting the weight of the grill when loaded with food. Never operate grill
on wood support surface, wood deck or like combustible support surfaces.
Never attempt to move grill when in operation or cooling down. Never
operate this grill within 25 feet/7.5 meters of any flammable liquid. Never
operate this grill within 10 feet/3 meters of a gas cylinder. The grill should
not be placed under combustible structures, like garages, porches, patios,
or carports. Burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide, an odorless gas,
which can cause death.
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the
operator’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the grill.
Do not use on boats or recreational vehicles.
Step 1: Cart Assembly
First remove the bolts, washers and
spring washers from the two “X”
connectors carefully. Remove the paper
washers and then begin the assembly
for the “X” connectors and legs. Flip
cart upside down for easy assembly.
Assemble cart by inserting two “X”
connectors into leg ends, then screw
in using the wrench provided. Place
lock washer above flat washer over bolt
before screwing through leg into “X” connector. Screw in casters and
tighten nuts using wrench provided. While assembling, leave screws
loose to allow adjustment in cart. Otherwise it can be difficult to get all
of the screws in. After cart is assembled, confirm all bolts are tightened,
then lift Kamado and set into cart with bottom vent centered between
two legs.
Step 2: Shelf Brackets
Remove the nuts and washers from
the bolts welded on the bottom
banding carefully. Remove the paper
washers. Place the side brackets on
the bolts and screw side brackets
down tightly with the nuts and
washers. Mount shelf brackets over
studs on the sides of the metal bands
on the bottom ceramic grill body with bracket slots facing up. Brackets
are stamped on the back with letters indicating their position (e.g.,
LF=Left Front bracket and RB=Right Back bracket). Mount flat washer
then acorn nut on each stud and tighten with wrench provided.
Step 3: Grill Assembly
Take all parts out of grill before lifting. The grill
is heavy and will require 2 people to lift it into
cart and if possible a third person to help guide
the kamado into cart. Using the shelf brackets
as lift handles, lift grill and set it into cart. (Step
3a:) Lift fire bowl into the ceramic body and then
place the cast iron grate into the fire bowl. Place
Step 4: Handle and Side Shelf Mounting
Remove the nuts and washers from
the bolts welded on the top banding
carefully. Remove the paper washers,
place the handle on the bolts, and
tightly screw the handle down using
the nuts and washers. Attach the
handle by placing handle bracket over
studs, opposite the hinge. On each
stud use flat washer, then screw on
acorn nut and tighten. Mount side
shelves by inserting the shelf rod into
the shelf bracket. Tilting the shelf up
slightly and sliding in or out allows you to deploy or store the shelves.

CAUTION: Never use lighter fluid, gasoline, or other volatiles to start
your charcoal, as it is dangerous and will leave a residual taste in your
food. NEVER use Charcoal Briquettes that contain starting chemicals
or additives. Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3. Use utmost
care when adding charcoal to grill. Dispose of cooled ash by placing it in
aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible
container. Always wait for grill to completely cool before opening built-in
ash drawer.
CAUTION: WAIT FOR GRILL TO BE COMPLETELY COOLED BEFORE PLACING
COVER ON GRILL.
NEVER PLACE COVER ON GRILL THAT IS HOT OR WARM.
When cooking above 500ºF/260ºC, with both top and bottom vents closed,
rapidly opening the lid creates a sudden rush of oxygen into the grill, which
can cause a flare-up. When in this cooking mode, we recommend that,
prior to opening the lid, you open top and bottom vents to allow oxygen to
stabilize inside the grill, minimizing the possibility of a flare-up.
If using for outdoor kitchen, table, or enclosure a lava stone or paving
stone must be placed between bottom of grill and resting surface. Do NOT
rest ceramic grill body on wooden surface.
STEP 3b
1. Your Kamado Grill should be covered when not in use so as to protect all components.
2. Routinely check the Spring Assist Band to make sure the 2 5/8” bolts are tight and secure.
3. When moving your grill please remember to make sure locking casters are in the unlocked position and always pull your grill. Never Push it. Pull
from the Back Hinge. Not the Handle. Your grill is more likely to tip if you push it and it hits a bump or indention on the ground. Have a friend help.
4. Do not remove your Fire Bowl. Clean ash by brushing excess ash into ash drawer and removing. The purpose of the Fire Bowl is to hold your lump
charcoal and will continue to work even if it is cracked.

foods ll the re bowl with enough charcoal to just
cover the air holes. Do not exceed 3.5 qt. (1.67 kg)
of charcoal. For smoking foods at low temperatures
for longer periods of time (1.5 hours+) you may need to add a little more
charcoal, up to approximately 2” (50 mm) above the same air holes. Use
lump charcoal for best results.
Step 2: Starting Charcoal
Open top and bottom vents. Light charcoal using electric starter,
relighters or chimney. Do not use lighter uids. For best results, use
lump charcoal.

PREVENT FLARE-UPS:
TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE FELT, MAKE SURE
TO AVOID FLARE-UPS BY “BURPING YOUR GRILL”.
If the lid is lifted too quickly, oxygen will rush inside the
grill causing a flare-up. To prevent a flare up, lift the lid
1”/25mm and count to three before fully opening the grill.
This method is called “Burping your Grill.”
VISION Grills Kamado cooking temperatures
are controlled by adjusting the calibrated top
and bottom vents.
*Caution – Decide if you’re cooking low and slow, then do
not let the grill get too hot. Keep the temperature low, it
takes hours to cool down.
Increasing air flow through top and bottom air vents
increases cooking temperature, just as decreasing air flow
slows the burn and lowers the cooking temperature. Closing
both top and bottom vents starves the charcoal of oxygen
and shuts down the fire.
*Caution - Continuous grilling at extreme high temperatures
will cause the felt to burn.
Experiences may vary depending on your environment,
temperature, wind flow, etc. We suggest grilling initially
with the Kamado for 5-6 times to get past the learning
curve of your grill, in your environment. The top vent plays
a big role in regulating temperatures and putting out fuel.
Your grill is properly seasoned when it has a buildup of
creosote on the ceramic and top vent.
