Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate,
or install the product.
Your new Kamado Ceramic Grill is the complete outdoor cooking appliance that
allows you to sear, grill, bake and smoke all types of food. For best results, 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. Before re-starting the grill, knock o excess ashes to any remaining charcoal.
Routinely empty ashes, but only empty ashes when grill is cold.
Starting your Mission Kamado Ceramic Grill is simple and fast: Open grill lid, open
top and bottom vents wide open, ll the inner re bowl with enough charcoal to
just cover the air holes, then light the charcoal using either an electric starter or
approved grill starters. After several coals are burning, spread evenly, close lid,
adjust top and bottom vents, and wait for the grill to reach your desired cooking
temperature. As needed, add more charcoal by using the ip grate feature, being
careful not to burn yourself with the hot food or cooking grate.
Kamado Ceramic Grill cooking temperatures are controlled by adjusting the calibrated
top and bottom vents.
*Caution – Decide if you’re cooking low and slow, then do not let the grill get too hot.
Keep the temperature low, it takes hours to cool down.
Increasing air ow through top and bottom air vents increases cooking temperature, just
as decreasing air ow slows the burn and lowers the cooking temperature. Closing both
top and bottom vents starves the charcoal of oxygen and shuts down the re.
*Caution - Continuous grilling at extreme high temperatures will cause the felt to burn.
Prevent Flare-Ups:
If the lid is lifted too quickly, oxygen will rush inside the grill causing a are-up. To
prevent a are up, lift the lid 1”/25mm and count to three before fully opening the grill.
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR KAMADO GRILL.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
ATTENTION! Use caution when cooking as grill surfaces get hot. To avoid burns,
always use protective gloves to adjust top and bottom vents when grill is in use. Do
not wear loose clothing near the grill.
For outdoor cooking use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed space.
Use grill only in well ventilated areas. Keep immediate area around the grill free
from combustible materials. Allow for at least 3 feet/1 meter of clearance around
grill (house, other outdoor products, hanging tree limbs, shrubs, etc.)
WARNING! Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times. Do not allow
children to operate grill. Never leave grill unattended when in use.
Grill needs to be placed securely on a level base prior to use. Only operate grill on a
hard, stable level surface (concrete patio, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the
grill’s weight when loaded with food. Never operate grill on wood support surface,
wood deck or like combustible support surfaces under any conditions. Never
attempt to move grill when in operation or cooling down. Never operate this grill
within 25 feet/7.5 meters of any ammable liquid. Never operate this grill within 10
feet/3 meters of a gas cylinder. The grill should not be placed under combustible
structures, such as garage, porch, patio, or carport. Burning charcoal gives o
carbon monoxide, which has no odor and can cause death.
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the operator’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the grill. Do not use on boats or
recreational vehicles.
CAUTION: Never use lighter uid, gasoline, or other volatiles to start your charcoal,
as is dangerous and they leave a residual taste in your food. Use utmost care when
adding charcoal to grill. Electric start-up is recommended. Dispose of cooled ashes
by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container.
When cooking above 500º F/260º C, with both top and bottom vents closed, rapidly opening the lid creates a sudden rush of oxygen into the grill which can cause a
are-up of ames. When in this cooking mode, we recommend that, prior to opening the lid, you open both top and bottom vents to allow oxygen to stabilize inside
the grill before opening, minimizing the possibility of are-ups.
