OPERATION MANUAL
2
Congratulations on your purchase of a Kong Kamado grill! If used and cared for properly, Kong
will give you years of enjoyment and trouble-free operation. Before assembling and using your new
grill, please review the information in this manual thoroughly. In it, you’ll find many useful tips to help
maximize your Kong’s long list of benefits and features.
While there are many smoker-grill styles on the market, Kong Kamado is truly one of a kind ... a bit
of history on wheels. The mushikamado is a domed clay oven used in Japan for literally thousands of
years, more recently by Japanese families to cook rice during ceremonial times. American soldiers
shortened the name to kamado when they brought the ancient ‘technology’ back to U.S.; more
efficient ceramic lining replaced clay and heat controls, often no more than vents, were added,
making the kamado more versatile. Enjoy your Kong!
