What is best to cook on a kamado grill? ›

Made up of a blend of Guayacan, Guayaibi, Mistal, and White Quebracho hardwoods, the Kamado Joe Big Block XL Lump Charcoal can burn for up to 18 hours continuously or can be reused up to three times.

Be sure to 'burp' the grill every time you open the dome to prevent dangerous flashback—a surge of white-hot heat caused by a rush of oxygen.

We recommend that you cover your Kamado Joe with a Durable Grill Cover when it is stored outside or left unused for longer periods of time. Leave the vents open. Mould can occur when you do not cover the grill with a cover or when the Kamado Joe is left outside and unused for a long time.

After you light the charcoal, leave the dome of the Konnected Joe open for 10 minutes with the bottom vent fully open. After 10 minutes, close the dome. Start to close the top and bottom vent when your dome temperature is within 50˚F (10˚C) of your target temperature.

Top rounds, chuck roasts and even ribs are on the list. Really, any large cut of beef would do well, with or without smoke added. For these cuts, lower temperature is key. Using the Saffire as a smoker grill is great for low temperature cooking.

If you can cook better on a kamado (keep temp, control temp, etc) then your food will taste better, but there is nothing about a kamado that will intrinsically make your food taste better.

Open the vents on your Kamado Joe to maximize airflow and increase the temperature to high heat, around 500-600°F (260-315°C). This searing process will create a beautiful crust on the steak, sealing in the juices and adding a mouthwatering charred flavor.

Will rain damage Kamado Joe? ›

Keep your grill away from rain; try to protect the inside of the grill from water. When not in use, cover the grill with a protective water-resistant cover. You can enjoy your KAMADO even if it is raining or snowing; however, the inside must be protected from moisture.

If possible, store your Kamado Joe in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements. If outdoor storage is your only option, be sure to invest in a Kamado Joe Cover. Before storing, ensure the grill is thoroughly cleaned and dry to prevent rust and mold growth.

A kamado is ideal for low & slow cooking, hot and cold smoking, high heat searing, but also baking pizza, bread, lasagna or oven dishes is no problem. You can use it to wok, make paella or mussels and it can be used with a rotisserie.

Only use premium hardwood lump charcoal, such as our Big Block XL Charcoal, to fuel your fire. Combustible liquids (starter fluid, etc.) will impart undesired flavors, damage your grill and create a fire hazard. Remember: flavor comes from your fuel.

Kamado grills, like the Big Green Egg, allow you to cook over a wood fire and give a unique and unmatched taste to your meals. It does take a little time to learn and can be a bit more expensive than a gas grill, but the results will be worth it.
