Lighting Instructions - Kamado Joe Classic Series User Manual

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.

1. Fill fire box with Kamado Joe 100% Natural Lump Charcoal just
below holes on the side of the fire box.
2. Place 1-2 Kamado Joe Fire Starter Cubes in the charcoal so
1/4 of cube is visible.
3. Open bottom draft door fully and leave grill lid open.
4. Light the Fire Starter Cubes. The 100% Natural Lump Charcoal
will be ready in 15 minutes or less.
5. Close the grill lid and adjust air flow until the desired
temperature is reached.
6. Your Kamado Joe grill should be heated for 15 minutes prior to cooking.
Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
Charcoal chimneys and electric starter are acceptable methods of lighting the
100% Natural Lump Charcoal.
CauTions
do not use lighter fluid, gas or other combustible liquids to ignite the
100% Natural Lump Charcoal. Liquid chemicals are a fire hazard and they will
impregnate the ceramic material and cause an undesirable taste to food.
do not use "instant light" briquettes. This will cause the same undesirable
taste.
do not use any type of briquette charcoal. This type of charcoal contains
additives like borax, starch and sawdust from waste lumber, which will leave
three times the amount of ash as 100% Natural Lump Charcoal. Also, most
brands of briquette charcoal cannot reach temperatures above 500°F.
