Cooking with your Kamado
Your new Vision 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 Vision 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 Vision 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 Vision 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.visiongrills.com, where we share
recipes, detailed Use & Care information and contact information if you need more help.
From our entire team here at Vision Grills, thanks for your purchase. Here’s to becoming the destination eatery in your
neighborhood!
