THE BASTARD

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

1.   Fill the kamado up to the first ring with coal. Please note, that is not up to the steel ring. Coal is for sale in the clubhouse.
2.   Leave the lid of The Bastard fully open. Also open the ventilation slide (damper) at the bottom of the BBQ.
3.   Light the barbecue with natural firelighters, not chemicals. You do this by making a triangle and lightly burying the firelighters in the coals. Fire starters are also for sale in the clubhouse.
4.   Now we have to wait for The Bastard to warm up; after 10 minutes your base temperature is about 90 degrees. About 20 degrees are added every minute. When The Bastard is approximately at the desired temperature, you can close the lid.
5.   Now set the top and damper to the desired temperature.
