Clean the grates and Divide & Conquer parts
Grates, deflectors and the rack
From the manual and Kamado Joe's cleaning video.
- After the cook, open the dome. Above 175 °C (350 °F), lift the dome 5 to 8 cm for about 5 seconds before you open it fully, face and body clear.
- Lift the grates with the grill gripper and turn them over the fire to burn off.
- Brush them before the next cook, then wipe them with an oiled cloth.
- Flip the deflectors dirty side down for the next cook: the manual says the fire cleans that side.
- Leave the Divide & Conquer rack to the clean burn: Kamado Joe gives no other method.
