SIGNATURE TASTE. 
UNMATCHED VALUE. 
Like many of you, I’m passionate about outdoor cooking. Over the years, I’ve 
cooked on everything from high-end stainless steel gas grills to inexpensive 
briquette charcoal grills. If those were my only choices I would pick the latter 
for one simple reason; the taste. There is nothing better than the mouth-
watering taste of charcoal grilled food. Fortunately there is a better option–
the Kamado Joe.
My passion for that signature taste led me to the Kamado style of cooking. 
With Natural Lump Charcoal, these ceramic grills are the prevailing choice for 
cooking flexibility and temperature range.
After using a Kamado grill for years I decided to design one with better 
materials and offer it at a competitive price. That was the start of the Kamado 
Joe Company, and today my passion for that signature taste still drives the 
innovation I put into all of our grills and accessories.
When you compare the cooking advantages and cost per use, our grills and 
accessories are unmatched in their value. 
We have some exciting products and accessories in development and my 
promise to you is to continue to innovate, inform you and provide superior 
products that function as promised.
Thank you for considering Kamado Joe.

ASSEMBLING YOUR CLASSICJOE/BIGJOE GRILL
ASSEMBLING YOUR KAMADO JOE GRILL WITH A CART
 1.  Cut the plastic bands and remove the top and side panels of  
  the shipping box.
 2.  Remove the top and base of the cart and attach them. Use the four  
  stainless steel screws provided to secure the cart components together.  
  Depress the tabs on the two locking casters (the locking casters indicate  
  the front of the cart). 
 3.  Open the grill and remove the components.
 4.  Place assembled cart on a secure level surface before inserting the grill. 
 5.  Gently lift the grill and place it in the cart. Adjust the position so  
  the front of the grill is centered between the legs with the two  
  locking casters. We highly recommend that two people lift  
  the grill into the cart due to the weight.
 ADVISORY: DO NOT LIFT THE GRILL INTO THE CART BY THE  
  HINGE MECHANISM OR SIDE SHELF SUPPORT TABS.
 6.  Open the grill and fully open the bottom draft door. Place the  
  fire box inside the grill and align the opening at the bottom of 
  the fire box with the opening in the draft door. This allows the  
  air to flow freely into the grill and to remove ash residue with  
  the included ash tool.
 7.  Place the cast iron grate in the bottom of the fire box. The  
  ash will fall through the holes in the grate and collect  
  underneath the fire box.
 8.  Place the fire ring on top of the fire box with the “notches up”.  
  The notches are used to secure the legs of the Heat Deflector  
  accessory when cooking indirectly (see page 10).
 9.  Place the stainless steel cooking grate on top of the fire ring  
  with the hinged door in the front of the grill.
 10.  Close the grill dome and place the cast iron top vent on top of the  
dome neck. The “Kamado Joe” logo should face the front of the grill.
11.  Attach the side shelves by placing the front pins in the slots of  
  the shelf brackets. 
12.  See the section on “Grill Bands” on page 14 to ensure that the  
  bands of your grill have the proper tension.

ASSEMBLING YOUR CLASSICJOE “STAND ALONE” GRILL AND INSERTING 
IT INTO YOUR KAMADO JOE GRILL TABLE
1.   Follow steps 1 and 3 on the previous page.
2.  Open the dome and attach the thermometer with a 14mm wrench. 
 Do not over tighten.
3.  Place the three grill feet on the bottom shelf of the grill table to form a  
 triangle s with the top being the back of the grill table. The other two  
  feet should be placed just to the left and right of the draft door (See  
  page 22).
4.  Gently place the grill into the table and adjust the feet. Be  
  careful not to catch the bottom draft door handle on the edge  
  of the hole to avoid damaging the handle or grill table surface. 
 We recommend that two people lift the grill into the grill table.
5.  Follow steps 6 through 10 on the previous page.

LIGHTING YOUR KAMADO JOE GRILL
Kamado Joe Fire Starter Cubes are one of the quickest ways to start your grill. 
They are odorless, smokeless and environmentally safe. Each cube burns up to 
1300°F for 8-12 minutes to ensure that you’re ready to cook in 15 minutes. 
CHARCOAL & AIR FLOW 
1. Build a mound of charcoal that starts just below  
  the holes in the side of the fire box with the peak  
  of the mound just below the top of the fire ring.
2. Build the mound with large chunks at the  
  bottom and smaller ones as you build it.  
  Dumping charcoal directly into the fire box will  
  allow small pieces to block the air holes in the fire grate, 
  which can prevent you from reaching grilling and searing temperatures.
3. Charcoal can be relit 2-3 times for multiple cookings. Use the ash tool to  
  stir the used charcoal, so the ashes will drop through the fire grate. Add 1/3  
  new charcoal to the existing charcoal and build a new mound. This works  
  for well for roasting and grill temperatures. A full fire box of only fresh  
  charcoal is recommended for smoking and searing temperatures.
Charcoal Tip: You can’t have too much charcoal, but you can have too little.
LIGHTING
1. Light the charcoal with a fire starter cube or two, chimney starter, electric  
  starter or other method. 
2. Open the bottom draft door and leave the dome up.
3. Wait 8-10 minutes for the charcoal to build a small bed of embers.
4. Close the dome, open the top vent fully and adjust the air flow as needed as  
  you near the target temperature.
Lighting Tip: Never use lighter fluid or any other combustible liquid. 
CAUTIONS
Do not use lighter fluid, gas or other combustible liquids. Liquid chemicals 
are a fire hazard and they will impregnate the ceramic material and impart an 
undesirable taste to food.
Do not use “Instant Light” briquettes. It will impart an undesirable taste.
Do not use briquette charcoal. This type of charcoal cannot reach 
temperatures above 500°F and it does not offer true charcoal flavor.

KAMADO JOE GRILL: ROASTING
The top vent has two cast iron disks that are attached by a  
screw. The top disk with the small holes is called a “daisy wheel”  
and it’s used for low temperature cooking (smoking) when the  
bottom disk completely covers the opening. For roasting, it’s best to use the 
bottom disk for achieving your desired temperature.
STEPS
1.  When the 100% Natural Lump Charcoal  
  is fully lit, secure the Heat Deflector legs  
  in the notches of the fire ring and place  
  the ceramic plate in the top or bottom  
  position. The bottom position should  
  be used if you want to place a drip pan  
  between the Heat Deflector and the  
  cooking grate. You will not damage the  
  ceramic plate if you allow the drippings  
  to fall onto it. For Heat Deflector  
  cleaning instructions, see page 16.
2.  Place the cooking grate on top of the Heat Deflector, and close  
  the dome.
3.  Make sure the bottom draft door is fully open. Open the top  
  vent fully and monitor the temperature until it reaches your  
  desired temperature.
4.  Close the top vent half way, wait 1-2 minutes and check the  
 temperature.
5.  Adjusting the top vent by either closing it more (lower  
  temperature) or opening it more (higher temperature) by a ¼”  
  can change the temperature as much as 25°F.
6.  Monitor the temperature during cooking and if you notice that  
  the temperature has moved outside your desired range, adjust  
  the top vent in very small increments. 
TIP 
See all the available cooking configurations starting on page 10.

KAMADO JOE GRILL: GRILLING
For grilling, it is easier to achieve your desired temperature by keeping the 
draft door fully open and only adjusting the top vent.
The top vent has two cast iron disks that are attached by a  
screw. The top disk with the small holes is called a “daisy wheel”  
and it’s used for low temperature cooking (smoking) when the  
bottom disk completely covers the opening. For grilling, it’s best to use the 
bottom disk for achieving your desired temperature.
STEPS
1.  Allow the 100% Natural Lump Charcoal  
  to fully light (15 minutes), then close the  
 dome.
2.  Make sure the bottom draft door is fully  
  open. Open the top vent fully and  
  monitor the temperature until it  
  reaches your desired temperature.
3.  Close the top vent half way, wait 1-2  
  minutes and check the temperature.
4.  Adjusting the top vent by either closing  
  it more (lower temperature) or opening it more (higher temperature) by a  
  ¼” can change the temperature as much as 25°F.
5.  Monitor the temperature during cooking and if you notice that  
  the temperature has moved outside your desired range, adjust  
  the top vent in very small increments.

KAMADO JOE GRILL: SMOKING
For smoking,
 it’s best to close the bottom draft door down to a 2” opening. 
Control the air flow with the top vent by fully closing the bottom disk and use 
the “daisy wheel” (the top disk with the small holes).
STEPS
1.  When the 100% Natural Lump Charcoal  
  is fully lit, secure the Heat Deflector legs  
  in the notches of the fire ring and place  
  the ceramic plate in the top or bottom  
  position. The bottom position should  
  be used if you want to place a drip pan  
  between the Heat Deflector and  
  cooking grate. You will not damage the  
  ceramic plate if you allow the drippings  
  to fall onto it. For Heat Deflector  
  cleaning instructions, see page 16.
2.  Place the cooking grate on top of the Heat Deflector, and close  
  the dome.
3.  Close the bottom draft door down to a 2” opening.
4.  Close the top vent and turn the daisy wheel so it is fully open.    
  Wait 5-10 minutes and check the temperature.
5.  Adjusting the daisy wheel by either closing it more (lower  
  temperature) or opening it more (higher temperature) and wait  
  1-2 minutes for the temperature to adjust. If the temperature is  
  still to too high, close the draft door another ¼” to ½”.
6.  Monitor the temperature during cooking and if you notice that  
  the temperature has moved outside your desired range, adjust  
  the top vent and/or bottom draft door in very small increments. 
TIP 
When smoking, the temperature will stabilize in about an hour.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Kamado Joe Grill is made of quality materials, so general care and 
maintenance is minimal. The best way to protect your Kamado Joe from the 
elements is with a Grill Cover. 
REMOVING ASHES 
Occasionally, you will need to remove the ashes underneath the fire box. 
Your Kamado Joe includes an ash tool and here are the steps for 
removing ashes from a grill in a cart and a grill table:  
STEPS
1. If there is partially used charcoal in the grill, stir the charcoal so  
  any ash in the fire box will drop down.
2.  Open the bottom draft door, and place a small container under  
  the opening to catch the ash. For grill tables, use a dust pan,  
  paper plate or newspaper to catch the ash.
3.  Insert the ash tool through the draft door and pull the ash out  
  into the container.
Optional: Remove the cooking grate, fire ring and fire box from the grill, and 
use a small scoop to remove the ash. Reinsert the internal components.
GRILL BANDS 
Check the position and tightness of the bands at the beginning of each 
grilling season or annually.  
If the bands are in the proper position, use a 10mm wrench and Allen 
wrench to check the tightness of each band connector. You should not be 
able to easily turn the Allen wrench while holding the nut in place. If loose, 
tighten firmly.
If a band is not centered on the gasket material, loosen the band enough 
to push it back in place. You can also place a block of wood on top of the 
band and lightly tap the wood with a hammer until the band is in position. 
Tighten the band connector with a 10mm wrench and Allen wrench.

15
CARE & MAINTENANCE
MOLD 
If your Kamado Joe Grill is not used for an extended period of time, moisture 
can be trapped inside the grill and you may see areas of mold or mildew on 
the cooking grate or internal ceramics. This can easily be eliminated, because 
Kamado Joe Grills are self-cleaning. Do not use bleach or other cleaning 
products. It will add an unpleasant taste to food. 
Self-cleaning your Kamado Joe Grill:
1.  Add charcoal, light it and allow the grill to heat to a  
  temperature of 600°F for 15 minutes with the dome closed.
2.   Allow the grill to cool down completely.
3.  Before cooking, brush the cooking grate with a standard grill brush. You  
  can also use a soft bristle brush on the ceramics to remove any residue. 
GASKET REPLACEMENT 
The gasket material will degrade over time. Depending on the amount of grill 
use, the exposed gasket material on the base and dome and the neck of the 
dome may need to be replaced every 2-3 years.
Gasket Replacement Instructions
See the back of the insert included with the replacement kit or go to our 
website for detailed step-by-step instructions: 
www.kamadojoe.com/maintenance_gasket.html
ADJUSTING THE TENSION OF YOUR BIGJOE HINGE 
Over time, the hinge on your BigJoe may need to have the tension adjusted. 
This will ensure that the least amount of effort is required to fully raise the 
dome, and that it remains stationary when fully open.
Adjusting the Tension:
1.  Place the dome in the “closed” position.
2.  Facing the back of the grill, use a 10mm Allen wrench to tighten the two  
  largest bolts located on the lower back of the hinge case.
3.  Check that the dome remains stationary in the “fully open” position. If not,    
  close the dome, tighten the two bolts and recheck. 
If fully tightening the two bolts still does not allow the dome to remain 
stationary in the “fully open” position, contact Kamado Joe for replacement 
springs and installation instructions.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
HEAT DEFLECTOR AND PIZZA STONE
Care and Cleaning of the Ceramic Plates
1. Allow ceramics to cool completely before cleaning and indoor storage.
2. Wipe off food material with a brush and store inside in a dry place.
TIPS 
• Do not place on tables or surfaces that are not heat-resistant.
• Do not
use either ceramic plate to cook with on a stove top.
• Do not
season with olive oil or other cooking oils.
• Do not
use cleaning chemicals or soap and water.
• Do not
soak in water. It may cause it to crack with the next use.
SAFETY
Follow these safety guidelines at all times:
1.  Do not move your Kamado Joe grill while cooking or if hot ashes are  
  present in the grill. 
2.  Do not use your Kamado Joe grill indoors or in an enclosed area. For  
 outdoor use only, unless for commercial use by a licensed restaurant 
professional in a properly ventilated area approved by building officials. 
3.  Do not use combustible liquids to light your Kamado Joe grill. 
  Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3.
4.  Keep children and pets away while using your Kamado Joe grill.
5.  Do not 
remove your Kamado Joe grill from the cart or approved grill table  
  and place it on a wooden deck, table or other surface.
 It can damage the  
  surface or cause a fire.
6.  Wait until the ashes are completely cool before removing them  
  from your grill and disposing of them.
Important: How to Avoid a “Flashback” When Cooking
If you operate your grill, then deprive the fire of oxygen by closing the top 
and bottom air vents, a sudden surge of flame called a “flashback” can occur 
if you suddenly open the dome of the grill. This occurs due to the sudden 
exposure to oxygen, which causes a brief but intense amount of white heat. 
To prevent a ashback, open both vents and wait 5 seconds, then raise 
the dome about 1” for 2-3 seconds, then fully open the dome.
