MAIN FIRE GRATE: The main fire grate occupies the lowest fire grate position. It is primarily used for 
cooking “low and slow” at lower temperatures. The increased distance from the food encourages a more 
gentle and uniform heat. The main fire grate can be left in position inside the grill even when using the 
adjustable fire grates above it.

7. 

ADJUSTABLE FIRE GRATES: The adjustable fire grates can be used in two different positions above the 
main fire grate. The lower of these two positions is the “middle” fire position. This height is ideal for 
roasting at medium temperatures with an offset fire. The higher of the two positions is ideal for searing and 
high-temperature grilling. This position places the fire in closest proximity to the food for the most intense 
heat. The adjustable fire grates can both be placed at the same level inside the grill, or each can be placed 
at a different height. The adjustable fire grates can also be used to hold a water pan or ceramic (cordierite) 
heat diffuser above a fire that has been built on the main fire grate below. 

8. 

FIRE GRATE FENCES: These small fences drop into slots in the fire grates to hold charcoal to one side.

9. 

COOKING GRATES: The two cooking grates are each 12 inches wide by 18 inches deep for 432 square inches 
of cooking area combined. The heavy stainless steel grates hold ample heat for better cooking performance. 

10. 

GRATE LIFTING TOOL: Use this tool to keep your hands clean while tilting up the grates.

11. 

LID GASKET: The lid gasket creates the air-tight seal that is very important to fine temperature control in 
the Shokunin Kamado Grill. We recommend you routinely check the gasket for a quality seal. The gasket 
can wear out over time. Replacement gaskets are available, and are easy to install.

12. 

OPTIONAL TOWEL HOOK: Clip the optional hook to any of the ipe wood rails for convenient access while 
cooking. Use care to keep towels away from the air supply control vents (4B).

13. 

OPTIONAL TOOL TRAY: The optional tray also clips to the ipe wood frame rails to keep tongs, turners, 
meat thermometers and other tools handy while cooking.

14. 

(NOT SHOWN) OPTIONAL SUNBRELLLA® COVER: The optional cover helps keep the grill clean and 
provides protection from the elements. The cover is sewn from premium, breathable fabric so that it does 
not trap moisture.
