  • Page 8 Safe Operation WARNING: When in use, portions of your grill get hot enough to cause severe burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in the area where the grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play on or around the grill. IMPORTANT: Improper use or installation is dangerous.
  • Page 9 Backdrafts WARNING: Use caution to avoid a dangerous backdraft. A backdraft can occur in kamado- style grills when a hot fire is deprived of oxygen and then the lid is opened. The sudden inrush of oxygen can cause a massive eruption of flame as the oxygen reaches the heat of the smothered fuel.

  • Page 12 Anatomy of the Shokunin Kamado Grill FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL (FSC) CERTIFIED IPE WOOD FRAME: The Shokunin frame is crafted from beautiful and durable ipe wood. Natural variations in the wood mean that no two Shokunin Kamado Grills are the same. The frame is available in two finishes: natural ipe, or treated with Penofin oil. INSULATED STAINLESS STEEL BODY: The body and lid of the Shokunin are crafted from two layers of stainless steel sandwiching two inches of glass fiber insulation, making the grill incredibly efficient at holding heat.
  • Page 13 MAIN FIRE GRATE: The main fire grate occupies the lowest fire grate position. It is primarily used for cooking “low and slow” at lower temperatures. The increased distance from the food encourages a more gentle and uniform heat. The main fire grate can be left in position inside the grill even when using the adjustable fire grates above it.

  • Page 20 (where there is no fire below), close the lid, and coast to the desired doneness. We flip and rearrange the steaks every 5 minutes during this portion of the cook.

  • Page 21 Lighting the Fire Once the fire grates have been configured for your cook, flip up your cooking grates and load the charcoal in the desired position. We recommend loading meaningfully more charcoal than you are likely to consume during the cook. This leads to the most efficient and effective burning of the charcoal. When you close the control vents and lid at the conclusion of cooking, the fire will die, and excess charcoal will be leftover for use in the next cook.
  • Page 22 Getting to the Right Temperature The temperature inside the grill is controlled be restricting the air to reduce the combustion. It is very important to monitor the grill temperature as the fire is getting started because the temperature can escalate quickly.
  • Page 23 Using the Crossflow Vent System The Shokunin Kamado Grill is engineered with a unique crossflow vent system that is designed to draw the heat and smoke across your food when using offset fire cooking techniques. The system takes advantage of the grill’s rectangular shape and helps expand the cooking versatility.

  • Page 25 For Offset Fire Roasting (350° to 500°F) 100% 100% Loading the Charcoal Load a generous amount of charcoal onto the left or right half of the fire grates positioned in the middle (roasting) position. For this example, we will build the fire on the left side. Light the fire in one or two points on the top of the charcoal.

  • Page 27 Using the Tilting Grate System In our effort to design the ultimate kamado-style grill we wanted to make it as convenient as possible to load the grill and to clean it. The cooking grates and fire grates all tilt up out of the way to give you clear access to each level when configuring your fire grates, loading your charcoal, lighting the grill or removing the ash pan for cleaning.

  • Page 34 The grates are best cleaned for each cooking session when they are hot. Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet recommends using the Great Scrape tool, or a grill brush made from brass or stainless steel. The cooking grates should be removed for periodic degreasing and deep cleaning.
  • Page 35 Cleaning Inside the Grill: The ash pan should be emptied frequently (after at least every sixth time the grill is used). Wait at least 24 hours after the fire has been snuffed before cleaning the inside of the grill. The insulation on the Shokunin is so efficient that it will remain hot inside for many hours.
