STEP 3a
SET-UP
WARNING
ATTENTION! Use caution when cooking, as grill surfaces get hot. To avoid burns, always use protective gloves
to adjust top and bottom vents when grill is in use. Do not wear loose clothing near the grill.
ATTENTION! This barbecue will become very hot, do not move it during operation. For outdoor cooking
use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed space. Use grill only in well-ventilated areas. Keep
immediate area around the grill free from combustible materials. Allow for at least 3 feet/1 meter of
clearance around grill (house, other outdoor products, hanging tree limbs, shrubs, etc.)
WARNING! Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times.
Do not allow children to operate grill. Never leave grill unattended when in use.
Grill should be placed securely on a level base prior to use. Only operate grill on a hard, stable, level surface
(concrete patio, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the grill when loaded with food. Never
operate grill on wood support surface, wood deck or like combustible support surfaces. Never attempt
to move grill when in operation or cooling down. Never operate this grill within 25 feet/7.5 meters of any
flammable liquid. Never operate this grill within 10 feet/3 meters of a gas cylinder. The grill should not be
placed under combustible structures, like garages, porches, patios, or carports. Burning charcoal produces
carbon monoxide, an odorless gas, which can cause death.
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the operator’s ability to properly
assemble or safely operate the grill.
Do not use on boats or recreational vehicles.
CAUTION: Never use lighter fluid, gasoline, or other volatiles to start your charcoal, as it is dangerous and
will leave a residual taste in your food. NEVER use Charcoal Briquettes that contain starting chemicals or
additives. Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3. Use utmost care when adding charcoal to grill.
Dispose of cooled ash by placing it in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible
container. Always wait for grill to completely cool before opening built-in ash drawer.
CAUTION: WAIT FOR GRILL TO BE COMPLETELY COOLED BEFORE PLACING COVER ON GRILL. NEVER PLACE
COVER ON GRILL THAT IS HOT OR WARM.
When cooking above 500ºF/260ºC, with both top and bottom vents closed, rapidly opening the lid creates a
sudden rush of oxygen into the grill, which can cause a flare-up. When in this cooking mode, we recommend
that, prior to opening the lid, you open top and bottom vents to allow oxygen to stabilize inside the grill,
minimizing the possibility of a flare-up.
If using for outdoor kitchen, table, or enclosure a lava stone or paving stone must be placed between bottom
of grill and resting surface. Do NOT rest ceramic grill body on wooden surface.
1. The Wood Side Shelves should be covered when not in use and may require refinishing from time to time.
2. Routinely check the Spring Assist Band to make sure the 25/8” bolts are tight and secure.
3. When moving your grill please remember to make sure locking casters are in the unlocked position and always pull your grill. Never Push it. Pull from the Back
Hinge. Not the Handle. Your grill is more likely to tip if you push it and it hits a bump or indention on the ground.
4. Do not remove your Fire Bowl. Clean ash by brushing excess ash into ash drawer and removing. The purpose of the Fire Bowl is to hold your lump charcoal and will
continue to work even if it is cracked.

STEP 4
Step 1: Cart Assembly
• Remove bolts, washers and locking washers from
the two “X” connectors.
• Remove paper washers and begin assembling the
“X” connectors and legs.
• Please Note: Top & Bottom “X” connectors must be
assembled simultaneously.
• Assemble cart by inserting the two “X” connectors
into leg ends and install bolts and washers in the
same order they were removed from “X” connectors.
• While assembling, only finger-tighten bolts to allow
for adjustment in cart. Otherwise it can be difficult to get all the bolts inserted.
• Screw in Standard Rubber Wheels to rear Cart Legs and the Locking Rubber
Wheels to the front Cart Legs.
• Tighten nuts using wrench provided.
• After cart is assembled, confirm all bolts
are tightened.
Step 3: Grill Assembly
• Take all parts out of grill before lifting. The grill is
heavy and will require two people to lift and guide the
Kamado into cart.
• Be sure the Ash Drawer is centered between the two
front legs and the grill is resting against the two back
legs.
• Lower fire bowl into grill with the ash drawer opening
lined up with the opening in the main ceramic body.
Place cast iron charcoal
grate with attached starter
pocket into fire bowl (Step
3a). Align tabs of starter
pocket with electric starter
port in fire bowl.
Step 2: Shelf Brackets
• Remove nuts and washers from bolts
welded on the bottom banding and
remove paper washers.
• Mount shelf brackets over studs with
bracket slots facing up. Brackets are stamped on the back with letters indicating
their position (e.g., LF=Left Front and RB=Right Back).
• Mount flat washer then acorn nut on each stud and tighten with wrench provided.
Step 4: Handle and Side Shelf Mounting
• Remove nuts and washers from bolts welded on the top
banding opposite the hinge.
• Remove paper washers and attach handle bracket over
studs. On each stud place a flat washer and an acorn
nut, then tighten.
• Mount side shelves by inserting the shelf rod into the
shelf bracket. Tilting the shelf
up slightly and sliding in or out
allows you to deploy or store
the shelves.

Drawer back into grill body until it drops down
back into place.

Step 5: Lava Stone & Bracket
Assembly
• Open grill and take off grill grates to expose fire bowl.
• Spread bracket so it makes an “X” shape and lower onto
fire bowl, allowing the bracket to rest on edge of bowl.
• Lower Lava Stone onto the bracket.
Step 6: Using the Electric Starter
(Sold Separately)
• Place required amount of charcoal inside fire bowl and
open all bottom and top vents to maximize air flow.
• Flip open electric starter door and insert electric starter
as far in as possible. Plug in electric starter.
• Wait until edges of charcoal turn white and flames are
licking the mound of charcoal. On average it takes 8-12
minutes to start charcoal.
• Unplug starter and remove from Starter Door. Be
careful when removing electric starter, the element will
be very hot. After use, let element rest on support and
cool completely away from children.
