How to CLEAN your Kamado Joe DOME. The SECRET to removing black gunk revealed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- 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.
fantastic, congrats
How you break everything down into an easy to follow process really sets your channel apart as a go to source for Kamado cooking. Thanks for all the great detail!
thank-you, cheers
Some of the best grilling content out there! Accidentally cleaned my Kamado Joe a few months ago. When I opened it up it looked like it was brand new. Was super stoked and this is a great video to give instruction on how to clean it (intentionally)!
hahaha run away deep cleaning service, thanks
Great tips, I enjoy your maintenance and care videos, most others don’t venture into these important topics. I would love to see the overbite correction video. My Big Joe 3 came with a slight overbite and can be a little tough to latch, I’ve only had it for a few weeks and I’m hesitant to start adjusting things. Keep up the great work.
I've had that problem too and somehow fixed it by adding washers on the bottom handle. I find it gets worst when I do a high heat cook like pizza but gets back in place over time.
will get to work on the dome alignment
@@jpg.387 Same here, I also installed the washers, but when doing high heat cooks, the overbite gets bigger and washers don't help. It doesn't effect the cook, but I want to solve the overbite issue and don't know how. I checked all the screws and they seem tightened ok.
Really looking forward to video on dome alignment, your content is really great James.
I LOVE your videos man. You go into such detail of the fundamentals and don’t brush over the small stuff. Your teaching style is so great and I appreciate all of your tips and tricks!
Also, I have the overbite on my big joe - so I’ll be on the look out for your next videos!
too kind, thanks so much
Thanks so much for this, James. I had 4 years of build up on the lid and it worked like a charm. Like you, I had to do 11/2 run to get it white. But now it's like brand spanking new! 👍🙏🙏
boom. congrats
Great video! Your pace and attention to calling out the small details is very helpful. Thank you!
thank-you, cheers
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.
Great questions and I have experienced exactly the same things. What are your thoughts James??
Semi related. Got to always check your tires when the seasons change for this reason. My girl freind when i Met her didn’t know this. Had one tire at five psi. Gotta be careful out there.
This is cold weather coming in, spring and fall tends to come with dome adjustments so its a good idea to check the bands while you are adjusting your air lift hinge
I have the same problem with an overbite as well! I can't figure it out. Big joe 3. It was fine originally but developed over the last year
Same issue on my side with overbite. If anyone figures this out, would be happy to hear it!!
I've been cleaning mine with newspaper but this looks to be a winner. I'm definitely trying this in preparation for the holidays.
Thank you so much James.
Thank-you, cheers
Thanks for the helpful information and tips on cleaning the lid man! And also thanks for the content on all the kamado joe grills! It’s really helped me narrow down the grill I want for Christmas. I’ve decided on the kamado joe brand because of you and I have chosen the kettle joe because of you! Hopefully I can get one for Christmas! Thanks again man!
Congrats Jay
I am happy I found your channel. These tip and procedures will help me prolong the life of my Kamado.
thanks Ian
I was just about to move my kamado to the garage for the winter. Now that I saw this I'll do it at the end of fall every year . Thank you Smoking Dad.
Cheers Evan, even though the best plan is to keep it going year round if you can swing it
I really appreciate your videos! So thorough and easy to follow! Whenever I am going to attempt a new cook or smoke, I always seek out your videos first! I also find it amazining that you take the time to respond to your viewers. :)
thank-you, cheers
Thank you James, as a newbie to Kamado grilling your video’s are my ultimate go to!
so happy to help, this is why i do this channel
Incredible results! Thanks for the tips and helpful video
thanks Mike
Thanks for your videos James. Thanks to you and a few others who have shared tips/tricks and recipes on RUclips, I have gone from a decent backyard griller to “king of the lanes”! My wife was unhappy with me purchasing the Kamado Joe but has since changed her tune.
Perfect timing on this video as I have been wanting to clean my classic for a while now and hadn’t gotten around to it.
Keep up the great work!
Thats awesome, congrats. 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
@@SmokingDadBBQ perhaps I will just clean my deflection plates. Is there a “safe” way to just clean the vent cap? I have the old daisy wheel style. I was considering just using a degreaser to clean it up. Would love to hear your thoughts. I will see if you made a vid on that specifically. Thanks again for all you do!
@@ficient1 gentle hot water and dish soap. Soft terry cloth
James, thanks for these videos! I just recently ordered a KJ Classic 3. This is my first ceramic grill and I appreciate the information. I have been binge watching your videos while waiting for my KJ to be delivered.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for sharing! I never would have imagined how clean a grill could get after years of use!
it is pretty crazy
Timing is perfect. I did this yesterday and you confirmed what needed to be done. 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!
Thanks and cheers! Congrats on the SV gun
Thanks for this video James. I'm looking forward to trying this technique. I'm new to Kamado cooking, and I absolutely LOVE IT! Your videos have been the most I have found. Thank you.
Thank-you, cheers
Thank you! Great video. I'm new to Kamado Joe. I appreciate the visual step by step. This really helps.
A great tip, you got it together Appreciate all the things you do for the kamado Joe community
thanks
WOW!!! Amazing how clean it got! I did the deep clean on the half-moon plates and a pizza stone and was amazed how clean it got! Thanks for all the tips!
Great job!
Love the practical content you provide in addition to the amazing cooks
Glad you like them!
That is a big difference! I'll be looking forward to the dome adjustment video! I think my Classic has a little bit of an over bite and I have just been living with it so can't wait for that one!
you got it
Thanks for sharing all your great knowledge James! I always learn something new about Kamado cooking when I tune in.
thanks so much
Thank you for this video
My pleasure
What in the actual hell are you doing here?😂
I was considering the BGE, but after watching your videos I am sold on Kamado Joe. Thanks for all the great content and knowledge!
thanks Todd. They are both good grills, i just prefer the little details and innovation on the KJ
Hey James - thanks for a another fantastic video. Really, really appreciate the effort you go to to continually pass on your knowledge. I should also add, thanks to you highlighting them - I just ordered the Smokeware shelves and 14" drip pan. You, sir - are a legend. Thank you.
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).
thanks and will get to work on that dome video
As always James keep up the great videos, I really enjoy all the details and explanations.
Much appreciated!
Great video. For those of us who are new to the kamado style of cooking, it provides a lot of useful inormation. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot
Thanks from Holland for yet another fine video. Lots of video's on the net about using kamado's, but your the only one with lots of information explaining why u do what u do. Very interesting and one of the reasons why i choose for a kamado joe.
Thnx from Holland, and keep up the truly informatic video's 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for the great video of how to clean the Joe! Appreciate it.
thank-you, cheers
Thanks James, mine has 3 years of build up and I had no idea how to return the dome to its clean white state. Can’t wait to try this !
thats about the same as my classic had
Great timing, thanks James! I did a full cleanout of my Joes a couple of weeks ago, but I do have the soot dome still. I'll have to give this a try, so that I'm looking sharp for when the family comes over for Turkey in a few weeks.
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
Great timing. About to clean mine for the winter. Very useful video!

Thanks. I will be doing this first thing in the spring when I start the Kamado back up

As usual useful information, seems every time I wonder about something, you come up with answer before question.
hahaha telepathy
This is so cool I am going to use this soon to clean my grill
thank-you, cheers... again i would only do this if absolutely necessary given the potential for gasket damage etc
Great video James...You took the "fear" out of doing the deep clean!

Thanks Kirk and congrats on your Joe
@@SmokingDadBBQ is it worth getting a sloroller for the classic 2? Seems like it wouldn’t leave much space.
Great video James, I’ll be doing my deep clean very soon. Mine is just a tad bit dirtier after a very heavy use this summer…..thanks for the tips to bring the ceramic back to the original color !!
thanks. 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.
