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 meats,
poultry, fish and vegetables. Kamado cooking locks in moisture and provides a variety of ways to
infuse different tastes into your foods that turns weekend grillers into neighborhood chefs.
Our Vision Kamado builds on this heritage with fresh aesthetics, safety and convenience features,
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 Ottawa, Canada.
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 and welcome to becoming the destination eatery in your neighborhood!

Cooking with your Kamado
Your new Vision Grills 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. Left-over natural charcoal also relights for re-use. Before re-starting the grill, knock off excess
ashes to any remaining charcoal. Routinely empty ashes, but only empty ashes when grill is cold.
Starting your Vision Kamado Grill is simple and fast: Open grill lid, open top and bottom vents wide open, fill the
inner fire bowl with enough charcoal to just cover the air holes, then light the charcoal using either an electric
starter or approved grill starters. After several coals are burning, spread evenly, close lid, 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.
WARNING
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 1860-3. 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.
CAUTION: WAIT FOR GRILL TO BE COMPLETELY COOLED BEFORE PLACING COVER ON GRILL. NEVER PLACE
COVER ON GRILL THAT IS HOT OR WARM.
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.
1. When moving your grill please remember to make sure locking
casters are in the unlocked position and always pull your grill.
Never Push it. Pull from the Back Hinge. Not the Handle. Your
grill is more likely to tip if you push it and it hits a bump or
indention on the ground.
2. Do not remove your Fire Bowl. Clean ash by brushing excess ash
into ash drawer and removing. The purpose of the Fire Bowl is
to hold your lump charcoal and will continue to work even if it is
cracked.
3. Your Kamado Grill should be covered when not in use so as to
protect all components.
Long-Term Maintenance
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.
