STEP 4
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, porchs, 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.
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. Use only firelighters
complying to EN 1860-3. Use utmost care when adding charcoal to grill. Electric
start-up is recommended. 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.
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.

Step 1: Cart Assembly
• Remove bolts, washers and locking washers
from the two “X” connectors.
• Remove paper washers and begin
assembling the “X” connectors and legs.
• Please Note: Top & Bottom “X” connectors
must be assembled simultaneously.
• Assemble cart by inserting the two “X”
connectors into leg ends and install bolts and washers in the same order they
were removed from “X” connectors.
• While assembling, only finger-tighten bolts to allow for adjustment in cart.
Otherwise it can be difficult to get all the bolts inserted.
• Screw in Standard Rubber Wheels to rear Cart Legs and the Locking Rubber
Wheels to the front Cart Legs.
• Tighten nuts using wrench provided.
• After cart is assembled, confirm all bolts are tightened.
Step 3: Grill Assembly
• Take all parts out of grill before lifting. The grill
is heavy and will require two people to lift and
guide the Kamado into cart.
• Be sure the Ash Drawer is centered between
the two front legs and the grill is resting
against the two back legs.
• Lower fire bowl into grill with the ash drawer
opening lined up with the opening in the
main ceramic body. Place cast iron charcoal
grate with attached starter pocket into fire
bowl (Step 3a). Align tabs of starter pocket
with electric starter port in fire bowl.
Step 2: Shelf Brackets
• Remove nuts and washers from bolts
welded on the bottom banding and
remove paper washers.
• Mount shelf brackets over studs with
bracket slots facing up. Brackets are
stamped on the back with letters
indicating their position (e.g., LF=Left Front and RB=Right Back).
• Mount flat washer then acorn nut on each stud and tighten with wrench
provided.
Step 5: Handle and Side Shelf
Mounting
• Remove nuts and washers from bolts welded
on the top banding opposite the hinge.
• Remove paper washers and attach handle
bracket over studs. On each stud place a flat
washer and an acorn nut, then 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.

Step 4: Lava Stone & Bracket
Assembly
• Open grill and take off grill grates to expose fire
bowl.
• Spread bracket so it makes an “X” shape and
lower onto fire bowl, allowing the bracket to rest
on edge of bowl.
• Lower Lava Stone onto the bracket.
Step 6: Using the Electric Starter
• Place required amount of charcoal inside fire
bowl and open all bottom and top vents to
maximize air flow.
• Flip open electric starter door and insert
electric starter as far in as possible. Plug in
electric starter.
• Wait until edges of charcoal turn white and
flames are licking the mound of charcoal. On
average it takes 8-12 minutes to start charcoal.
• Unplug starter and remove from Starter Door. Be careful when removing
electric starter, the element will be very hot. After use, let element rest on
support and cool completely away from children.
NOTE: Do not plug the electric starter in while it is raining unless you’re in a
