Clean the grill and ash drawer of your kamado (such as a Big Green Egg) after every session, and at least once a week during the BBQ season from spring to autumn.
Built-up ash blocks the air supply, making it harder to keep the temperature stable. Let the kamado burn out completely and cool down first. Keep the top and bottom vents free of ash.
- Let the kamado burn out completely and cool down after grilling
- Brush the grill clean with a grill brush
- Remove ash from the ash drawer at the bottom
- Check that the vents (top and bottom) stay free of ash
