COOKING WITH YOUR KAMADO
Your new Vision Grills Kamado 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 off excess ashes to any remaining charcoal. Routinely empty ashes, but only empty ashes when
grill is cold.
Starting your Vision Kamado Grills 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 Kamado to reach your desired cooking temperature.

STARTING
Step 1: Measuring Charcoal
Set bottom vent wide open and open lid. Measure out the amount
of charcoal needed. For grilling foods ll the re bowl with enough
charcoal to just cover the air holes. For smoking foods at low
temperatures for longer periods of time (1.5 hours+) you will need to
add a little more charcoal, up to approximately 2” (50 mm) above the
same air holes. Use lump charcoal for best results.
Step 3: Setting Temperature
When charcoal is ready level it out for even heat distribution. Close the
lid. Set the top and bottom vents to the desired setting by referring to
the Setting Temperature section in this manual that tells what number
calibrations to use to attain the cooking temperature you want. Give
your kamado 5-15 minutes to settle into the cooking temperature you
want before you put food on the grill.
NOTE: If smoking, do not bring your temperature up above 200ºF/93ºC.
A) Spread hot charcoal evenly over grate.
B) Set top and bottom vents for cooking.
C) Let temperature stabilize.

SETTING
TEMPERATURE
Vision Kamado Grills 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.

WARNING
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR VISION 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 metre 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 metres of any ammable liquid. Never operate this
grill within 10 feet/3 metres of a gas cylinder. The grill should
not be placed under combustible structures, such as garage,
porch, patio, or carport. Burning charcoal gives off 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.
