KAMADO JOE GRILL: GRILLING

For grilling, it is easier to achieve your desired temperature by keeping the

draft door fully open and only adjusting the top vent.

The top vent has two cast iron disks that are attached by a

screw. The top disk with the small holes is called a “daisy wheel”

and it’s used for low temperature cooking (smoking) when the

bottom disk completely covers the opening. For grilling, it’s best to use the

bottom disk for achieving your desired temperature.

STEPS

1. Allow the 100% Natural Lump Charcoal

to fully light (15 minutes), then close the

dome.

2. Make sure the bottom draft door is fully

open. Open the top vent fully and

monitor the temperature until it

reaches your desired temperature.

3. Close the top vent half way, wait 1-2

minutes and check the temperature.

4. Adjusting the top vent by either closing

it more (lower temperature) or opening it more (higher temperature) by a

¼” can change the temperature as much as 25°F.

5. Monitor the temperature during cooking and if you notice that

the temperature has moved outside your desired range, adjust

the top vent in very small increments.
