Adjusting The Burners - Kamado Joe GasJoe GJ26 Owner's Manual

Low Heat Burner Adjustment
To adjust the burner low setting:
•
Make sure the grill is cool.
•
Remove grates and flame tamers so that
you can see the flames while adjusting
the burners.
•
Light the burner and set it to "LOW"
•
Pull off the control knob.
•
While holding the valve shaft with pliers,
insert a small screwdriver into the shaft
and, while watching the flame, adjust it
to a minimum stable setting. (Figure 12)
Burner Flame Air Flow Adjustment
The amount of air that enters a burner is controlled by the air shutter.
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at
the factory prior to shipment. However,
fluctuations in gas pressure, gas conversion
and even in the quality of the gas itself may
make it necessary to adjust the burner.
The flames of the main burners should be
visually checked. Flames should be blue
and stable with slight yellow tips. The dark-
blue should be about 3/8 inch high with a
total flame height of about 1/2 inches
The flames should burn quietly (no "torch" sounds) and they should not "lift"
up from the burner.
If your flames do not match the above description you need to make sure
that the air shutter and burner ports are free and clear of dirt, debris or
spider webs. If they are clear and the flame still does not match the desired
description above, then you will need to adjust the air shutter.
The air shutter is locked in place by a screw which must be loosened before
adjusting. Once adjusted retighten the screw.
