Initial Setup
The Shokunin Kamado Grill arrives fully assembled. The ash pan, fire grates and grill grates simply need to be
placed in their positions inside the grill.
ƒ
Remove all protective film and packing materials.
ƒ
Wipe down and/or wash the interior of the grill and the internal parts with water and mild dish soap
before first use.
ƒ
ASH PAN: Place the ash pan in the bottom of the body of the grill.
ƒ
MAIN FIRE GRATE: Place the main fire grate on top of the lowest internal brackets so that it sits
above the ash pan. The main fire grate is only used in the lowest fire grate position, referred to as the
“barbecue position.”
ƒ
ADJUSTABLE FIRE GRATES:
If desired, place one or both of the adjustable fire grates in position on
the internal brackets above the main fire grate. The upper position is the “searing position,” and the
middle position is the “roasting position.”
ƒ
COOKING GRATES:
Place the cooking grates on the highest internal brackets. For right-handed
cooks, place the grill grates such that the diagonal cutouts angle from the front right corner to the rear
left corner. For left-handed cooks, flips them over so that the cutouts angle the other way.
ƒ
Close the lid and inspect the seal all of the way around the grill.
ƒ
Confirm smooth operation of all four air vents.
ƒ
The optional tool shelf and towel hook rest on the cross members of the ipe wood frame, They are
sized to fit the front, sides or back of the frame. If placed on the sides, the shelves will not obstruct
the operation of the air vents, but they will somewhat obstruct your view of the air vents. Do not hang
towels in front of the air vents.
ƒ
The optional Sunbrella® grill cover simply slides over the top of the grill with the logo facing forward.
If you have optional shelves and/or hooks, these can be taken off before covering. Or, simply
reposition them on the frame rails so that they point downward, allowing the cover to slide over them.
