Care & Maintenance; Removing Ashes; Grill Bands - Kamado Joe ClassicJoe User Manual

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.
