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 charcoal starts 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, fillthe inner fire bowl with enough charcoal to just coverthe air holes, then light the charcoal using either anelectric starter or approved grill starters. After severalcoals are burning, spread evenly, close lid, adjusttop and bottom vents, and wait for the Kamado toreach your desired cooking temperature. As needed,add more charcoal by using the flip grate feature,being careful not to burn yourself with the hot food orcooking grate.
