Care and safe use guidelines
EXTINGUISHING
•
To extinguish unit – stop adding fuel and close all the vents and the lid to allow the
fire to die naturally.
•
DO NOT use water to extinguish the charcoals as this could damage the ceramic
Kamado.
MAINTENANCE
•
Tighten the bands and oil the hinge 2 times a year or more if needed.
LIGHTING, USAGE AND CARE INFORMATION
•
Ensure the Kamado is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat resistant non-
flammable surface away from flammable items.
•
Ensure the Kamado has a minimum of 2m overhead clearance and has a minimum
2m clearance from other surrounding items.
•
To start a fire place rolled up newspaper with some lighter cubes or solid firelighters
on the charcoal plate in the base of the Kamado. Then place 1 or 2 handfuls of lump
charcoal over the top of the newspaper.
•
DO NOT use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for
lighting or relighting.
•
Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long nosed lighter or safety
matches. Once it has caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about 10
minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
•
It is recommended you don't stoke or turn the coals once they are alight. This allows
the charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.
•
Once alight ONLY use heat resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking
surfaces.
•
See below for cooking instructions depending on temperature and duration.
REFUELLING
•
With the vents closed, the Kamado stays 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.
