How to CLEAN your Kamado Joe DOME. The SECRET to removing black gunk revealed
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 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
Great video! Your pace and attention to calling out the small details is very helpful. Thank you!
thank-you, cheers
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
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 am happy I found your channel. These tip and procedures will help me prolong the life of my Kamado.
thanks Ian
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
Thank you! Great video. I'm new to Kamado Joe. I appreciate the visual step by step. This really helps.
Love the practical content you provide in addition to the amazing cooks
Glad you like them!
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 sharing! I never would have imagined how clean a grill could get after years of use!
it is pretty crazy
A great tip, you got it together Appreciate all the things you do for the kamado Joe community
thanks
Thanks for sharing your process! Good point about preventing mold growth.
Thanks Cameron
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
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
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!
Amazing results. I’m definitely going to do that. Thanks!
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
Great vid... Thanks for taking the time to put these videos out.
Glad you like them!
YES! Finally a way to clean the dome. Thank You!!!!!
You're welcome!
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
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
Always wondered how to clean the dome and you answered my questions. Thanks James.
Glad to help
Great timing. About to clean mine for the winter. Very useful video!
Cheers. 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.

Thank-you, cheers
Thanks for this tip. I have noticed this as a problem. Very helpful
Thank-you, cheers
Thanks James. This is exactly what I’m needing to do, and wasn’t sure how to get the dome clean.
cheers
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 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
Alignment video is a must with you’re knowledge and teaching skills!

Thanks for sharing all your great knowledge James! I always learn something new about Kamado cooking when I tune in.

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.

Fantastic as always!

you got it
Thanks James! Good tips for cleaning!
Happy to help!
Great to see how to clean it. Thanks for the tips.
thank-you, cheers
Great stuff as usual James!
Thanks Dane
Thanks for your videos James. Thanks to you and a few others who have shared tips/tricks and recipes on TH-cam, 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.

@@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!

I have and continue to learn so much from your videos. Thank you very much.

I am new to a kamado. It's interesting that you can clean it this way without having to hold a brush or something like that. Your videos are educational for a beginner. thank you for this. greetings from the Netherlands.
Have always known how to clean grill grates etc. but always wondered how one would clean the ceramics. Thought of steam cleaning. This video clears that up. Thank you.
Glad to help

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 so much Shelly
Thanks for sharing-very informative!!
Thank-you, cheers
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
Great video! Definitely gonna try it👍🏻
thanks
My husband loves your videos but most important, he has learned so much from you!
Wow, thank you!
Great work, love it.
thanks
Thanks James. Definitely helpful. I need to give my dome a serious cleaning
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.
