100 Series Kamado Grill
Owner’s Manual

Welcome to Kamado cooking! Our Icon Kamado is based on 3,000+ years of clay pot cooking from around the world. Over generations our ancestors have continued to refine Kamado techniques for grilling, smoking, baking, and cooking all types of food, including meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Kamado cooking locks in moisture and provides a variety of ways to infuse different tastes into your foods, turning weekend grillers into neighborhood chefs.

Our Icon Kamado builds on this heritage with fresh aesthetics, safety, and convenience features, a user-friendly easy-lift lid with spring assist, and high-quality materials to define a new industry standard for design and innovation. The thick ceramic construction of our grill provides superior thermal insulation allowing you to grill, cook, bake, or smoke regardless of the season – from the hot summer days in our home town of St. Louis to the cold snowy days in Bangor, Maine.

In this manual we provide the basics to get you cooking and invite you to our website, www.icongrills.com, where we share recipes, detailed Use & Care information, and contact information if you need more help.

From our entire team here at Icon Grills, thanks for your purchase. Here’s to becoming the destination eatery in your neighborhood!

Cooking with your Kamado

Your new Icon Kamado is the complete outdoor cooking appliance that allows you to sear, grill, bake and smoke all types of food. For best results, we recommend using natural lump charcoal made from hardwoods. Compared to briquettes, natural charcoals start faster, burn cleaner and longer, reach higher temperatures and produce less ash. Leftover natural charcoal also relights for re-use. Before restarting the grill, knock off excess ash from remaining charcoal. Routinely empty ash, but only do so when grill is cool.
Starting your Icon Kamado Grill is simple and fast: Open top and bottom vents wide open, fill the inner fire bowl with enough charcoal to cover the air holes, then light the charcoal using approved grill starters. After several coals are burning, spread evenly, adjust top and bottom vents, and wait for the Kamado to reach your desired cooking temperature. As needed, add more charcoal by using the flip grate feature, being careful not to burn yourself with the hot food or cooking grate.

SET-UP

Step 1: Assemble Top Lid Vent
Close lid and press Top Vent onto top of Kamado. Be sure spring clips are fully engaged with calibrations facing the front of the grill.|
---|---
Step 2: Stand Handle Assembly
Attach Stand Handles to the left and right of the Stand by placing handle brackets over stand studs. On each stud use flat washers, then screw on acorn nuts and tighten with provided wrench.|
Step 3: Insert Grill into Stand
Take all parts out of the grill before lifting. With the help of a second person, lower the grill into the Stand by holding the back hinge and bottom of grill. As grill is lowered into stand, carefully switch out hands from bottom of grill to the ash drawer opening before reaching the outer ring of stand. Completely lower grill to bottom of stand.|
Step 4: Add Components to Grill
Lower fire bowl into the grill with the ash drawer opening facing the front of the grill. Place cast iron Charcoal Grate inside fire bowl. Place stainless steel cooking grate on top of the fire bowl.|
Step 5: Grill Handle Assembly
Attach the Handle by placing handle bracket over studs, opposite the hinge. On each stud use flat washers, then screw on acorn nuts and tighten with provided wrench.|
Step 6: Ash Drawer Usage
Slide Ash Drawer into ash drawer opening. When grill is cool, it is safe to remove ash from Ash Drawer. To remove Ash Drawer, use bottom knob on Ash Drawer, lift slightly and pull drawer out.|

WARNING
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR ICON KAMADO. PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

ATTENTION! Use caution when cooking, as grill surfaces get hot. To avoid burns, always use protective gloves to adjust top and bottom vents when grill is in use. Do not wear loose clothing near the grill.
ATTENTION! This barbecue will become very hot, do not move it during operation. For outdoor cooking use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in an enclosed space. Use grill only in well-ventilated areas. Keep immediate area around the grill free from combustible materials. Allow for at least 3 feet/1 meter of clearance around grill (house, other outdoor products, hanging tree limbs, shrubs, etc.)

WARNING! Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times.
Do not allow children to operate grill. Never leave grill unattended when in use.
Grill should be placed securely on a level base prior to use. Only operate grill on a hard, stable, level surface (concrete patio, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the grill when loaded with food. Never operate grill on wood support surface, wood deck or like combustible support surfaces. Never attempt to move grill when in operation or cooling down. Never operate this grill within 25 feet/7.5 meters of any flammable liquid. Never operate this grill within 10 feet/3 meters of a gas cylinder. The grill should not be placed under combustible structures, like garages, porches, patios, or carports. Burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide, an odorless gas, which can cause death.
The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the operator’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the grill.
Do not use on boats or recreational vehicles.

CAUTION: Never use lighter fluid, gasoline, or other volatiles to start your charcoal, as it is dangerous and will leave a residual taste in your food. NEVER use Charcoal Briquettes that contain starting chemicals or additives. Use only firelighters complying to EN 18603. Use utmost care when adding charcoal to grill. Dispose of cooled ash by placing it in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container. Always wait for grill to completely cool before opening built-in ash drawer.

When cooking above 500ºF/260ºC, with both top and bottom vents closed, rapidly opening the lid creates a sudden rush of oxygen into the grill, which can cause a flare-up. When in this cooking mode, we recommend that, prior to opening the lid, you open top and bottom vents to allow oxygen to stabilize inside the grill, minimizing the possibility of a flare-up.

If using for outdoor kitchen, table, or enclosure a lava stone or paving stone must be placed between bottom of grill and resting surface. Do NOT rest ceramic grill body on wooden surface.

Long-Term Maintenance

• Cover your grill when not in use to extend life and maintain appearance.
• When moving grill, always pull by the back hinge.

STARTING

Step 1: Measure Charcoal
Fill the fire bowl with enough charcoal to cover the air holes. For smoking foods at low temperatures for longer periods of time (1.5 hours+) you will need to add a little more charcoal, up to approximately 2 inches/5 centimeters above the same air holes. Mound charcoal over perforated stainless steel electric starter pocket. Use lump charcoal for best results.
Step 2: Starting Charcoal
Open top and bottom vents. For faster start up keep lid open. Light charcoal using paraffin starter or chimney. Do not use lighter fluids. Do not cook before the charcoal has a coating of ash.
Step 3: Set Temperature
Once charcoal is lit, level it out for even heat distribution and close the lid. Set top and bottom vents to the desired setting (refer to the Setting Temperature section in this manual for specific calibrations to use to attain desired cooking temperature).
Give your Kamado 8 – 12 minutes to settle into the cooking temperature you want before putting food on the grill.
NOTE: If smoking, do not let temperature exceed 275ºF/135ºC.
A ) Spread hot charcoal evenly over grate.
B ) Set top and bottom vents for desired cooking temperature.
C ) Let temperature stabilize.
Step 4: Get Cooking
Use a wire grill brush to clean the cooking grate. That’s it – you are ready for the best cooking experience of your life. Go to our website for recipes.

Step 5: Ash Removal
Always let ash cool before removing ash drawer. Prior to each use, lift and pull out Removable Ash Drawer and dispose of ash.

ATTENTION!
PREVENT FIRE FLASHBACK:
TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE FELT, MAKE SURE TO AVOID FLARE-UPS BY “BURPING YOUR GRILL”.
If the lid is lifted too quickly, oxygen will rush inside the grill causing a flare-up. To prevent a flare up, lift the lid 1″/25mm and count to three before fully opening the grill. This method is called “Burping your Grill.”

SETTING TEMPERATURE

Icon Grills Kamado cooking temperatures are controlled by adjusting the calibrated top and bottom vents.

Increasing air flow through top and bottom air vents increases cooking temperature, while decreasing air flow lowers the cooking temperature. Closing both top and bottom vents starves the charcoal of oxygen and stifles down the fire.

Caution ­ If you’re going to smoke, do not let the grill get too hot. Keep the temperature low, it takes hours to cool down.
Caution ­ Continuous grilling at extreme high temperatures may cause the felt to burn.
Prevent Flare-Ups: If the lid is lifted too quickly, oxygen will rush inside the grill, causing a flare-up. To prevent a flare-up, lift the lid 1 inch/2.5 centimeter and count to five before slowly opening the lid wide open.

*Temperature Settings are approximate. Many varying factors may give you different results with controls, such as lump charcoal quality, altitude, wind, outside temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, humidity, etc.
