Kamado Joe Care & Maintenance: Gas Grills Kamado Joe Care & Maintenance: Gas Grills
 

For Models: ComboJoe, GasJoe and GasJoe Ultra

Maximize the performance and longevity of your grill with regular cleaning and care. Clean the internal parts of the grill regularly as determined by the amount of use and food cooked. The entire grill should be cleaned at least twice a year.

Cleaning the Cooking Grates
The easiest way to clean the cooking grates is to scrub them immediately after cooking with the burners off. Wear a grill mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. We recommend using a brass bristled grill brush that is dipped in water. Dip the brush frequently to increase the amount of steam, which makes the cleaning process easier by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the flame tamer and burn or fall into the drip tray.

Cleaning the Warming Rack
The warming rack can be cleaned using the same procedure as "Cleaning the Cooking Grates".

Cleaning the Drip Tray
The drip tray will collect grease from the main grill area. The tray should be cleaned after every use to avoid the possibility of a grease fire. Be sure to allow the drip tray to cool prior to cleaning. You may clean it with a solution of warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to avoid staining.

Cleaning the Burners
Spiders and small insects occasionally inhabit or make nests in the burner tubes, obstructing the gas flow. Sometimes this results in a type of fire in and around the gas tubes called a "flashback". To reduce the risk of a flashback, follow the instructions below at least once a month or when your grill has not been used for an extended period of time.

IMPORTANT
All of the gas control knobs must be turned to the "OFF" position, the fuel must be off and the fuel line disconnected.

  1. Remove burners from grill by carefully lifting each burner up and away from gas valve orifice.
  2. Wire brush the outer surface of the burner to remove food residue and dirt. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire or an opened paper clip.
  3. Inspect the burner for damage (cracks or holes). If any damage is found, replace burner before use.
  4. Upon reinstallation, inspect gas valve orifices for cleanliness and the condition and location of igniters.

Care of Stainless Steel
Do NOT use wire wool pads, scrappers, harsh abrasive, scoring materials, bleaches, or harsh cleaners on your cart or grill, or allow salt and vinegar mixtures to remain in contact for a long period of time. This will cause scratching, scoring, rusting and pitting. We recommend that you clean stainless steel components with a cleaner that is approved for stainless steel and only clean when the grill is cool and in indirect light. Never use steel wool.

Hood and Body
Wipe the inside hood and body with detergent and hot water. The external surfaces may be cleaned in the same fashion. Wipe all areas dry before storing.

Storage
Please ensure that all units of the grill are clean before storing.
