COOKING CONFIGURATION: BAKING
MI-KAMADO GRILL: BAKING
The top vent has two cast iron disks that are
attached by a screw.
The top disk with the small holes is called a “daisy
wheel” and it’s used for low temperature cooking
(smoking) when the bottom disk completely
covers the opening.
For baking, it’s best to use the bottom disk for
achieving your desired temperature.
STEPS
1. When the 100% Natural Lump Charcoal is
fully lit, secure the Heat Deflector legs in the
notches of the fire ring and place the ceramic
plate in the top position.
2. Place the Pizza Stone on top of the Heat
Deflector. Close the dome and allow the plates
to preheat for 10 minutes.
3. Make sure the bottom draft door is fully
open. Open the top vent fully and monitor
the temperature until it reaches your desired
temperature.
3. Close the top vent half way, wait 1-2 minutes
and check the temperature.
4. Adjusting the top vent by either closing it more
(lower temperature) or opening it more (higher
temperature) by a ¼ inch can change the
temperature as much as 25°F.
5. Monitor the temperature during cooking and
if you notice that the temperature has moved
outside your desired range, adjust the top vent
in very small increments.
BAKING (Figure 1)
Use this configuration for heating foods that can
be cooked in ceramic or metal containers like
casseroles and hot appetizers.
A pizza cannot be baked directly on the Heat
Deflector. The bottom crust will burn.

COOKING TIP: If you’re baking a pizza,
sprinkle corn meal on Pizza Stone just
before adding you pizza to prevent it
from sticking.
