CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Kamado Grill is made of quality materials, so general care and maintenance is minimal.
The best way to protect your Kamado from the elements is with a Grill Cover.
REMOVING ASHES
Occasionally, you will need to remove the ashes underneath the fire box. To do so, there is
an optional ash tool available. Following are the steps for removing ashes from a grill in a
cart and a grill table:
STEPS
1. If there is partially used charcoal in the grill, stir the charcoal so any ash in the fire box
will drop down.
2. Open the bottom draft door, and place a small container under the opening to catch the
ash. For grill tables, use a dust pan, paper plate or newspaper to catch the ash.
3. Insert the ash tool through the draft door and pull the ash out into the container.
Optional: Remove the cooking grate, fire ring and fire box from the grill, and
use a small scoop to remove the ash. Reinsert the internal components.
GRILL BANDS
Check the position and tightness of the bands at the beginning of each grilling season or
annually.
If the bands are in the proper position,
use a 10mm wrench and a 5mm Allen wrench
to check the tightness of each band connector. You should not be able to easily turn the
Allen wrench while holding the nut in place. If loose, tighten firmly.
If a band is not centered on the gasket material,
loosen the band enough to push it
back in place. You can also place a block of wood on top of the band and lightly tap the
wood with a hammer until the band is in position. Tighten the band connector with a 10mm
wrench and a 5mm Allen wrench.
