Caring for Your Shokunin Kamado Grill
Always allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.
Stainless Steel Care:
The Shokunin is built from stainless steel, which is a high-quality, non-magnetic stainless steel that is very
corrosion resistant. It is also a highly-sanitary surface.
After usage, the stainless steel may discolor from the intense heat. This condition is normal.
Always clean the exterior of your stainless steel grill with a mild, food-safe, organic degreaser, followed by a
stainless steel polish.
Always clean with the grain, never across, and use a microfiber towel. Remove all
cleaner residue before using the grill in order to avoid a build-up of film from the cleaner.
For stubborn stains, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet recommends powdered Barkeepers Friend® cleanser.
Follow the instructions on the can, using a microfiber cloth. To fix scratches, Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet
recommends using a
Scratch-B-Gone kit, available from us by c1.800.868.1699.
Wood Care:
Ipe wood is incredibly durable and resistant to insects and rot. Left alone outdoors, it will weather naturally to
a warm, pewter gray color, and the texture of the wood will become more pronounced. For the oiled ipe wood
frame finish option, the rich, brown color can be maintained through seasonal treatment with Penofin® oil. US
dealers of the product can be located via the penofin.com website.
Cleaning the Cooking Grates:
The cooking grates are made from laser-cut stainless steel plate that is 1/4-inch thick. Clean your grates
during every cook before putting the food on the grill. The grates are best cleaned for each cooking session
when they are hot. Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet recommends using the Great Scrape tool, or a grill brush
made from brass or stainless steel. The cooking grates should be removed for periodic degreasing and deep
cleaning. After deep cleaning, they should be reseasoned.
Seasoning the Cooking Grates:
Although the cooking grates are stainless steel, they should be treated more like a cast iron skillet. The goal is
to keep them clean, but to also keep them black. Wipe them with vegetable oil before first use and after each
deep cleaning, then keep the grates in the grill during preheating to keep them seasoned.
SALT WATER ENVIRONMENTS: Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet offers most
of our products in marine-grade 316L stainless steel for those close to the
ocean. This optional upgrade can add to your peace of mind. It is more
corrosion-resistant than our standard 304 stainless steel, but it is not still not
impervious to rust. The best thing you can do to protect your stainless steel
is to keep your grill clean and polished.
