FAQs
What type of charcoal should I use?
Lump charcoal is recommended for kamado grills as it burns hotter and cleaner than briquettes, providing a more authentic flavor. Avoid using lighter fluid; use a charcoal chimney starter instead.
How do I control the temperature for smoking vs. grilling?
For smoking, keep vents partially closed to reduce airflow and maintain lower temperatures (around 100-150°C / 225-300°F). For grilling, open vents more to increase airflow and reach higher temperatures (200°C+ / 400°F+).
Can I use this grill in wet or windy conditions?
While the ceramic construction offers good insulation, extreme weather can affect temperature control. Using a windscreen and the cover can help mitigate these effects. Always ensure stability in windy conditions.
How often should I clean the grill?
Regular cleaning of the grate after each use is recommended. Ash should be removed after the grill has cooled. A deeper clean of the ceramic interior and exterior can be done periodically as needed.
What is the warranty period for this grill?
Please refer to the product manual or the Fire Mountain website for the specific warranty details applicable to your purchase, as warranty periods can vary.
Is assembly required?
Yes, basic assembly is required to put together the trolley and attach the grill body and side tables. Instructions are provided with the product.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty reaching or maintaining desired temperature.
Ensure the bottom and top vents are open sufficiently. Check for any blockages in the vents. Ensure charcoal is dry and of good quality. Allow adequate time for the ceramic to heat up.
Uneven cooking across the grill surface.
Rotate food periodically. Ensure coals are evenly distributed across the charcoal grate. Check that the ceramic body is not cracked or damaged, which could cause heat loss.
Grill lid is difficult to open or close.
Check for obstructions around the lid seal. Ensure the hinge mechanism is clean and free of debris. Lightly dust the ceramic rim with a fine sand or baking soda if a slight sticking occurs, then wipe clean.
Protective cover does not fit properly.
Ensure the grill is completely cool before attempting to cover. Check that the side tables are folded down. Verify you are using the correct cover for the Fire Mountain Fuji 18'' model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack all components carefully. Assemble the trolley base according to the provided instructions. Place the ceramic grill body onto the trolley. Ensure the top and bottom vents are clean and functional. Attach the side tables. It is recommended to perform an initial burn-in at a moderate temperature (around 180°C / 350°F) for 1-2 hours before the first use to cure the ceramic.
Compatibility: This grill uses charcoal as its fuel source. It is designed for outdoor use only. Ensure a stable, level surface for the trolley.
Care: After each use, allow the grill to cool completely. Remove ash from the bottom. Clean the cooking grate with a grill brush. The ceramic exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the ceramic. For deep cleaning, the internal components can be removed. Always use the provided cover when the grill is cool and stored outdoors to protect it from the elements.
