WELCOME TO VERSATILE KAMADO COOKING Your new Vision Grills Kamado Hybrid is the complete outdoor cooking appliance that allows you to sear, grill, bake and smoke all types of food with your choice of Charcoal or Gas. For best results with charcoal, we recommend using natural lump charcoal made from hardwoods. Compared to briquettes, natural charcoals start faster, burn cleaner and longer, reach higher temperatures and produce less ash. Left over natural charcoal also relights for re-use.

The gas must be turned to “CLOSED” position at the gas cylinder. 2) Remove Heat Exchanger from top of Gas Insert. 3) Lift and pull Gas Insert from front of grill. 4) Store Gas Tank, Hose, Gas Insert and Heat Exchanger in cool, dry place, out of the elements.
