ASSEMBLING YOUR CLASSICJOE “STAND ALONE” GRILL AND INSERTING 
IT INTO YOUR KAMADO JOE GRILL TABLE
1.   Follow steps 1 and 3 on the previous page.
2. 

Open the dome and attach the thermometer with a 14mm wrench. 

 

Do not over tighten.

3. 

Place the three grill feet on the bottom shelf of the grill table to form a  

 triangle 

s

 with the top being the back of the grill table. The other two  

 

feet should be placed just to the left and right of the draft door (See  

 

page 22).

4. 

Gently place the grill into the table and adjust the feet. Be  

 

careful not to catch the bottom draft door handle on the edge  

 

of the hole to avoid damaging the handle or grill table surface. 

 

We recommend that two people lift the grill into the grill table.

5. 

Follow steps 6 through 10 on the previous page.
