Kokko Maintenance

Even easier to light than a traditional barbecue!

Place charcoal directly in the fire bowl or in the stainless steel charcoal basket.

Add two or three natural firelighters to the firebox.

Let the charcoal catch for 10 minutes with the lid open.

Close the lid and open the bottom vent and top chimney to allow air to circulate.

Monitor the temperature with the built-in thermometer.

How to light your Kokko? By Laurent Lemal

Maintaining your Kokko barbecue is quick and easy. Here are the steps to keep your kamado clean and performing at its best:

1. Removing the ashes

After each use, ashes accumulate at the bottom of the firebox.
➡️ They can be easily removed through the stainless steel air vent at the front of the barbecue, using a brush.

💡 Practical tip: the “Stainless Steel Ash Pan and Shovel” accessory lets you collect ashes directly in a stainless steel tray for even faster cleaning.

2. Cleaning the exterior

The ceramic exterior can be cleaned simply with water and a soft sponge.
🚫 Avoid abrasive products that could damage the surface.

3. Caring for the interior

All the components inside the Kokko are removable.
➡️ They can be taken out one by one for separate cleaning.

🧼 Regular cleaning ensures the longevity of your barbecue and the quality of your cooking.

Yes, the ceramic is perfectly resistant outdoors. The metal components are made of stainless steel or enamelled cast iron, ensuring complete protection against moisture and preventing the product from rusting.

We still recommend using the cover to protect your Kokko kamado from dust, rain marks, or pollen.

The Kokko features a stainless steel cooking grate with an impressive 8mm thickness. This generous thickness makes maintenance effortless, as each stainless steel bar is wide and can be easily cleaned with a scouring sponge or brush.
