Backdrafts
WARNING: Use caution to avoid a dangerous backdraft. A backdraft can occur in kamado-
style grills when a hot fire is deprived of oxygen and then the lid is opened. The sudden
inrush of oxygen can cause a massive eruption of flame as the oxygen reaches the heat of
the smothered fuel. This most commonly happens when the vents have been closed on a
hot fire, but it can happen at any time. To avoid backdraft, open the lid about one inch for
several seconds before opening it the rest of the way.
