Use and Care Manual

REGULAR CLEANING
Regular cleaning is an important part of grill maintenance.
After each use, take the time to clean your Kamado Joe
®
.
Remove the ash from the drawer or firebox and wipe down
the interior and exterior surfaces. Make sure you clean the
grates, heat deflectors, and any other accessories you use.
Regular cleaning not only prevents the buildup of grease
and grime, but it also keeps your grill in great condition for
the next cook.
INSPECT AND CLEAN THE
GASKET
The gasket plays a vital role in
maintaining the temperature
stability of your Kamado Joe. Over
time, it may wear out or become
damaged, leading to heat loss.
Inspect the gasket regularly and
clean it using a mild grill cleaner
with a soft cloth. If you notice
any tears or excessive wear, it is
advisable to replace the gasket
to maintain optimal performance
and prevent heat leaks.
MAINTAIN THE GRILL
GRATES
The grill grates are exposed to
heat and food residue during
grilling sessions. To prevent food
from sticking and ensure even
heat distribution, it’s important to
maintain the grill grates. Clean
your grates after cooking while
they are still slightly warm to
make the process easier. Use a
grill brush to remove any residual
debris. Wipe the grates with a
cloth dipped in your preferred oil
to prevent rusting.
STORE YOUR GRILL PROPERLY
When summer comes to an end, proper grill storage is important to
prolonging the life of your grill. If possible, store your Kamado Joe in a
dry, covered area to protect it from the elements. If outdoor storage is
your only option, be sure to invest in a Kamado Joe
®
Cover. Before storing,
ensure the grill is thoroughly cleaned and dry to prevent rust and mold
growth.
Proper mid-summer grill maintenance is a key part in ensuring your
Kamado Joe continues to give you a great grilling experience for years
to come. By following these maintenance tips, you can enjoy deliciously
grilled meals throughout the summer and beyond.
