THE BASTARD

From low & slow to hot & fast. This kamado can do it all.

 
1. Fill the kamado with coals up to the first ring. Please note that this is not the steel ring.

2. Open the bottom damper and the lid of The Bastard.

3. Light the barbecue with natural firelighters, no chemicals. You do this by making a triangle and burying the firelighters lightly in the coals. 

4. Now it's waiting for The Bastard to heat up; after 10 minutes your base temperature is about 90 degrees. Every minute adds about 20 degrees. When The Bastard is about at the desired temperature, you can close the lid.

5. Now adjust the top and damper to the desired temperature.

Cleaning Instructions for the Grill and the Bastard BBQ:

1. Remove food residues from the grill

   Use a steel brush or a special BBQ brush like The Bastard BBQ Brush to remove large food residues from the grill.

2. Remove burnt-on residues immediately after use

   Heat the grill after cooking and brush off the burnt-on residues while it’s still hot. This works best right after use.

3. Clean the inside of the Bastard

   Remove ash and leftover charcoal from the firebox and ashtray using a dustpan and brush.

4. Clean the outside of the Bastard

   Use warm water and a little dish soap to clean the outside. A soft cloth or sponge is recommended.
