How to CLEAN your Kamado Joe DOME. The SECRET to removing black gunk revealed

Рет қаралды 209,816

Күн бұрын

A clean ceramic Kamado dome can help with the smell/taste imparted on your food, stop mould/mildew build up during storage and or open up cooking ideas like naan bread etc. Domes do NOT need to be white, only for extreme circumstances ... pizza and steak cooks should prevent the need for a deep clean.

I can't thank you enough for the extremely useful content you provide. I purchased my first kamado joe classic 3 this year and am LOVING it! I've had some great cooks on it so far and have used several of the techniques you've shown in your videos to get amazing results. So far my favorite has been a pork butt I did with your double indirect method.

I did not remove the Temperature probe & reaching 700F shut the lower vent completely and top vent (Smokware) slightly cracked open (1/2"). Internal was grey white.... I will use your method next year for a whiter white. Used a banister brush and vacuum for the internal. Great video James. You also convinced me on the Su-V-Gun ... ordered!

James, great video. Yes, I’d really like to see a future video on adjustments for over bite, etc. On a related topic, how often should the hinge pressure need adjustment? My dome wasn’t staying fully open so About 6 weeks ago I adjusted the spring and it was perfect until last week. Yesterday the dome wouldn’t stay open at all so I tightened the hinge spring again. Could it be related to the arrival of cold weather? Thanks.

Oh - and yes - a video on adjustments for the over bite would be great, possibly including how to adjust the air lift hinge (I know it's easy and have done it myself, but other folks might find it useful and would probably fit in with the over bite adjustment).

Fingers crossed their is enough interest in the dome adjustment video. Keep up the good work! Cheers from So Cal!

Hi James, you really explain things so well when it comes to KJ cooking and also cleaning, you said in the above video if we would like to see an episode on repositioning the dome lid and latch if it moved after a deep clean to ask you, so I am asking haha, fantastic as usual watching all your KZfaq episodes on KJ cooking and all they are always so informative, thanks again. Cheers Lloyd (Australia)

After watching this video, I truly need to do a deep cleaning on my dome. Also on a future video, I would like to see how to make adjustments to realign the dome. Thanks for another great video.

Thanks for your cleaning lesson. I had never thought to deep clean the dome by itself.

Thanks James. Definitely helpful. I need to give my dome a serious cleaning

@SmokingDadBBQ 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Calum. i get asked about this all the time, but my recommendation is don't bother. the risks are damage to your gasket, temp gauge, shifting the dome and or stressing your ceramics beyond whats necessary. Understand if you want to do it for cooking something like Naan, storage or you have a nasty off putting smell then its worth the potential risks IMO
