The Fundamentals of Fire
Fire is the single most important ingredient in successful
kamado cooking—and it’s made from just three elements:
oxygen, heat and fuel. Learn how to control them, and you’ll
know how to control your fire.
FLAVOR COMES FROM FUEL
Only use premium hardwood lump charcoal to fuel your fire.
Combustible liquids (starter fluid, etc.) will impart undesired
flavors, damage your grill and create a fire hazard. Remember:
flavor comes from your fuel. The taste you put in will eventually
come out on your plate.
GOOD FIRE STARTS WITH GOOD AIR FLOW
Add charcoal to the firebox until the mound reaches the
fire ring. Maximum charcoal amount for the Classic III is 6lb
(2.7 kg). If you’re aiming for high temperatures, you can arrange
your charcoal mound for maximum air flow—large chunks on
the bottom, smaller pieces to fill in. Now you’re ready to light
your charcoal. Fire is a living thing. It needs to breathe a little
while before you begin adjusting the temperature, so leave the
dome open for about 10 minutes after lighting.
CHARCOAL CAN BE RE-USED UNTIL IT’S
GONE. BEFORE YOUR NEXT COOK, MAKE
SURE TO STIR THE CHARCOAL TO KNOCK OFF
ANY LOOSE ASH, REMOVE THE ASH FROM
THE ASH DRAWER AND THEN TOP OFF THE
FIREBOX WITH THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF NEW
CHARCOAL. WE RECOMMEND A FULL BOX OF
CHARCOAL FOR HIGH-TEMPERATURE COOKING.
