This ash cleaning tool makes it easy to remove ash residue from your COMPACT and MINI Kamado. You use this tool to slide out the remaining ash from the Kamado via the ventilation disc. Even the pesky last remnants can be removed this way. The long handle of this cleaning tool makes it easy to reach all the hard-to-reach spots in the Kamado. By cleaning your Kamado regularly, you extend its lifespan and you can enjoy your Kamado barbecue for longer. And what's even better? You can use this cleaning tool to divide or poke the charcoal and it also features a bottle opener so you can reward yourself with a beer after cleaning!
We strongly advise against cleaning the Kamado while it is still hot so first make sure it has cooled down completely, i.e. is completely cleared of the high temperature you grilled at before. What is also very important, do not use water or other liquids for this step in cleaning. When you mix the ashes with water, a thick substance can form that is even harder to clean up. Remove the charcoal from the Kamado and save it for the next time you grill. Now there should only be ash in the Kamado. You can use the cleaning tool to push it towards the ventilation disk. You can place the ash bucket under the Kamado so that it collects the ashes. Repeat this process to remove all remaining ash from the Kamado. Should some ash have fallen on the ground after cleaning, you can easily clean it up with a dustpan and brush.
The most important thing when removing ashes from your Kamado is to make sure you take proper safety measures, such as wearing heat-resistant gloves and making sure the ashes have cooled down completely before removing them. Make sure you dispose of the ashes safely and responsibly.
When you regularly clean your Kamado, it remains well maintained, this ensures that it will last you a lifetime.

In order to remove ashes, of course, you first need charcoal. On this page, we have a wide range of different types of charcoal. Our best-selling charcoal type for the Kamado is the BBQ Flavour Marabu charcoal in a 5 kg bag. And this is not for nothing, Marabu is a heavy wood type and this characteristic is also maintained during the 14 to 24-hour burn. Marabu charcoal is especially popular because it has a long burn time, even at high temperatures, and develops very little smoke due to its complete carbonisation.
If you really want to clean your Kamado thoroughly, you can also use our YAKINIKU BBQ cleaning brush, leather gloves and ash scraper. These accessories ensure that you can easily do your Kamado maintenance without spending too much time on it.
