WELCOME

Welcome to kamado cooking! You will never return to gas after tasting the difference! Our Vision Grills 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 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 Grills Kamado builds on this heritage with fresh aesthetics, safety and convenience features, a female 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 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 fabulous recipes, detailed Use & Care information and contact information if you need more help.

From our entire team here 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 grill, knock off excess ashes to any remaining charcoal. Routinely empty ashes, but only empty ashes when grill is cold.

Starting your Vision Kamado Grills 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.

STARTING

Step 1:

Measuring Charcoal

Set bottom vent wide open and open lid. Measure out the amount of charcoal needed. For grilling foods fill the fire bowl with enough charcoal to just 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” (50 mm) above the same air holes. Once measured mound charcoal over perforated stainless steel electric starter pocket. Use lump or chunk charcoal for best results.

Step 2: Starting Charcoal

Open the electric starter flipper door and insert starter as far as possible then plug in. Wait until edges of charcoal turn white and flames are licking the mound of charcoal. On average it takes 10 -15 minutes to start the charcoal.

Step 3: Setting Temperature

When charcoal is ready level it out for even heat distribution. Close the lid.

Set the top and bottom vents to the desired setting by referring to the Setting

Temperature section in this manual that tells what number calibrations to use to attain the cooking temperature you want. Give your kamado 5-15 minutes to settle into the cooking temperature you want before you put food on the grill.

A)

Spread hot charcoal evenly over grate.

B)

Set top and bottom vents for cooking.

C)

Let temperature stabilize.

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

*Caution – Decide if you’re cooking low and slow, then do not let the grill get too hot. Keep the temperature low, it takes hours to cool down.

Increasing air flow through top and bottom air vents increases cooking temperature, just as decreasing air flow slows the burn and lowers the cooking temperature. Closing both top and bottom vents starves the charcoal of oxygen and shuts down the fire.

Prevent Flair-Ups:

If the lid is lifted too quickly, oxygen will rush inside the grill causing a flairup. To prevent a flair up, lift the lid 1 inch and count to three before fully opening the grill.

This Limited Warranty is contingent upon purchaser registering the product at www.visiongrills.com within 30 days from the date of purchase along with a copy of the original dated sales receipt which can be attached in an electronic format (i.e. scan, photograph, etc.) to your registration at www.visiongrills.com.

This Warranty will be invalidated if any liquids, including starter lighter fluid, are poured on or in the ceramic cooker. While Vision Grills uses rust-resistant materials, the protective coating of the ceramic cooker can be compromised by substances or conditions that are beyond Vision Grill’s control. As a result, the Warranty as to metal parts does not cover rust or oxidation unless the structural integrity of the ceramic cooker is compromised as determined by Vision Grills.

WARNING

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR VISION

KAMADO GRILL. 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.

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 metre 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 needs to 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 grill’s weight when loaded with food. Never operate grill on wood support surface, wood deck or like combustible support surfaces under any conditions. Never attempt to move grill when in operation or cooling down. Never operate this grill within 25 feet/7.5 metres of any flammable liquid. Never operate this grill within 10 feet/3 metres of a gas cylinder. The grill should not be placed under combustible structures, such as garage, porch, patio, or carport.

Burning charcoal gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odour and 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 is dangerous and they leave a residual taste in your food. Use utmost care when adding charcoal to grill. Electric start-up is recommended. Dispose of cooled ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container.

When cooking above 500º F/260º C, 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 of flames. When in this cooking mode, we recommend that, prior to opening the lid, you open both top and bottom vents to allow oxygen to stabilize inside the grill before opening, minimizing the possibility of flare-ups.
