REFUELING
•
With the vents closed, the Kamado stay at a high temperature for several hours. If you require a longer
cooking time (e.g when roasting a whole joint or slow smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal.
Just add some additional charcoal and continue as above.
REPLACING THE FELT PACKING ON THE KAMADO GRILL
Depending on how you use the Kamado Grill, the felt packing around the lid and the base should be replaced from time to
time. This prevents "false air" from occurring. Carefully carry out the following:
Requirements:
- self adhesive felt packing
- open-ended spanner
- scraper and/or Stanley Knife
- pot scourer of abrasive pad
- acetone
- masking tape
1.
Remove the adjustable cut-off or ceramic lid cap. Unscrew the nuts on the top tensioning band with the
spanner, then next, carefully lift off the lid and lay it upside down onto a protective layer on the floor.
Make sure that you do not drop the lid!
2.
Unscrew the bottom tensioning band and leave the ceramic base standing in the housing or on the table.
3.
Using the Stanley Knife or scraper, cut or scrape off as much of the existing felt packing as possible.
Remove the remaining bits of felt and glue with the acetone an the action of an abrasive pad or pot scourer
4.
Now you must wait for about one hour until the acetone has evaporated.
5.
Carefully stick the new (self adhesive) felt packing to the edge of the base and the lid. Make sure that the
seams are not at exactly the same place again and allow the felt to overlap slightly on the outside, which is
better than on the inside (because it will burn when the grill is lit once again). Allow a little play when sticking
down the felt packing (therefore not too tight or stretched), so when warming up the felt packing is able to
shrink a little. Neatly cut the felt packing at the seam. It you are using adhesive in place of self adhesive tape,
please do as follows:
Apply the masking tape immediately under the edge of the base and the outside of the lid so that the adhesive
does not stick to the Kamado Grill itself. Protect the inside of the grill with a piece of cardboard and then spray
the edges with the adhesive. Follow the instruction for the adhesive and allow it to dry and then stick the felt
packing onto the edges. Allow the glue to completely harden.
6.
Reassemble the Kamado Grill. Place the tensioning band against the base and tighten the nuts. Carefully put
the lid into the top tensioning band and tighten the nuts. Check whether the lid and the tensioning bands are
straight and then give the nuts a final tighten.
