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.
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!
