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.
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

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.
