ASSEMBLY

Grill Set-Up

UNBOXING YOUR GRILL
1
   Cut the plastic bands and remove the top and side panels of 
the shipping container.
2   Lift off the top piece of the grill cart and remove the plastic 
from the top of the grill.
3   Open the dome of the grill and remove the components from 
the inside of the grill. Handle the internal ceramic parts with 
care.

KAMADO JOE GRILL WITH CART
1
   Once the internal components of the grill have been removed, 
lift the grill out of the container and set it aside. Due to the weight 
of this grill, we highly recommend two people perform this task. 
Do NOT lift the grill by the side shelf tabs. Use the rear hinge 
and the front lower vent opening as lifting points.
2   Remove the plastic wrapping from the base of the grill cart.
3   Lock the casters on the bottom portion of the grill cart. 
Assemble the two pieces of the grill cart with the provided 
stainless steel screws. You will find these screws attached with 
tape and plastic on the bottom portion of the cart.
4   With the same lifting technique used previously, lift the grill 
into the cart. Adjust the grill in the cart so the lower grill vent is 
facing the front of the cart. The front side of the cart is the side 
with the two locking casters.

STAND-ALONE GRILL WITH KAMADO TABLE
1
   Place the three grill feet on the bottom shelf of the grill table to 
form a triangle with the single point being at the back side of the 
grill table. The other two feet should be placed just to the left and 
right of the lower vent on the front side of the grill.
2   Gently place the grill into the table and adjust the feet. Handle 
the grill with care to avoid damaging the grill table surface. We 
recommend that two people lift the grill into the table.

ASSEMBLY

INTERNAL ASSEMBLY
1
   Open the dome of the grill and insert the ceramic firebox with the opening 
aligned with the lower vent of the grill. 
2   Set the fire ring on top of the firebox inside the grill.
3   Install the ash collector tray in the bottom of the firebox. You may find it 
easier to lay the ash collector tray in the base of the grill and then lower the 
firebox down over the ash collector tray.
4   Insert the cast iron charcoal grate in the bottom of the firebox. The ribbed 
side of the charcoal grate should face downward. 
5   Place the main rack of the Divide & Conquer flexible cooking system on 
top of the fire ring. 
6   Install the heat deflectors and the half-moon cooking rack components of 
the Divide & Conquer flexible cooking system.

Close the dome on the grill and install the cast iron top vent. Install the 
side shelves on each side of the grill. Tighten the band nuts.
