Operation
Curing The Kamado
To start a fire place some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate in the base of the
Kamado. Then place 2 or 3 handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of the them.
Caution! do not use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or
relighting.
Caution! do not overload the unit with fuel. If the fire is too intense this could damage the Kamado.
Open the bottom vent and light the firelighters using a long nosed lighter or safety matches.
Do not open or release the top lid vigorously. Leave until all the fuel is used and extinguished.
If the fire burns too high it could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance to mature
properly.
After first use inspect all fasteners for tightness. The metal band connecting your lid to the base will
expand from the heat and this could become loose. It is recommended you check and if necessary
tighten the band with a spanner.
Now your Kamado is ready for use.
