Step 1: Cart Assembly
First remove the bolts, washers, and spring washers from
the two “X” connectors carefully. Remove the paper wash-
ers and then begin the assembly for the “X" connectors and
legs. Flip cart upside down for easy assembly. Assemble
cart by inserting two "X" connectors into leg ends, then
screw in using the wrench provided. Place lock washer
above flat washer over bolt before screwing through leg into
”X” connector. Screw in casters and tighten nuts using
wrench provided. While assembling, leave screws loose to
allow adjustment in cart. Otherwise it can be difficult to get
all of the screws in. After cart is assembled, confirm all
bolts are tightened, then lift Kamado and set into cart with
bottom vent centered between the two legs.
Step 2: Shelf Bracket
Remove the nuts and washers from the bolts welded on the
bottom banding carefully. Remove the paper washers. Place
the side brackets on the bolts and screw side brackets down
tightly with the nuts and washers. Mount shelf brackets over
studs on the sides of the metal bands on the bottom ceramic
grill body with bracket slots facing up. Brackete are
stamped on the back with letters indicating their position
(e.g., LF=Left Front bracket and RB=Right Back bracket).
Mount flat washer then acorn nut on each stud and tighten
with wrench provided.
Step 3: Grill Assembly
Take all parts out of grill before lifting. The grill is heavy and
will require 2 people to lift it onto the cart and if possible a
third person to help guide the kamado centering in the cart.
Using the shelf brackets as lift handles, lift grill and set it
into cart. Place fire bowl inside the kamado. Place cast iron
grate into fire bowl. Place cooking grate onto grill with
hinged sectton facing towards front of grill. Close lid and
press top vent onto top of kamado so spring clips are fully
engaged, with calibrations facing the front of the grill.
Step 4: Handle and Side Shelf Mounting
Remove the nuts and washers from the bolts welded on the
top banding carefully. Remove the paper washers, place the
handle on the bolts, and tightly screw the handle down using
the nuts and washers. Attach the handle by placing handle
bracket over studs, opposite the hinge. On each stud use flat
washer, then screw on acorn nut and 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.
Step 5: Long-Term Maintenance
1. The Wood Side Shelves should be covered when not in use
and may require refinishing wax from time to time.
2. Routinely check the Spring Assist Band to make sure the
2 5/8" bolts are tight and secure.
