Burn-in on a ceramic Kamado? I can see seasoning steel smokers to seal the interior. I can also see just building a fire on a new Kamado to get a taste for temp control. A Kamado doesn't need seasoning. Just build your first fire and cook.

Thank you for the comment. My purpose wasn't to season it, mostly to burn off any manufacturing or packing residue. But you are right, having never used a kamado cooker to also get a feel for building and maintaining a fire.

Yes, Kamado Joe calls it seasoning, but that’s not really what I was after when I did it. The KJ smelled terribly for the first 40 min of ‘burn in’ as I’d call it. Lots of oils and dirt from manufacturing and shipping.

Yes. And it had lots of little bits of styrofoam stuck to it. But now that it is burned in, it is working great.

thanks for the comment. Yes agree the audio needed work, I was using on camera microphone for his, there was lot's of noise. Hopefully later videos are getting better.

The build quality of that thing seems to be pretty poor?

Thanks for watching the video. I don't think that the build quality is poor, it is a solid grill, and I have been using it for a few months now, and overall like it. There are a few upgrades like a better vent on the top, and ash management system (Ash Can and Charcoal basket) that will improve the experience. Both of those items KJ has upgraded in their later models of the Classic and Big Joe.
