Prevent rust on the Musui’s uncoated rims by drying thoroughly after washing and applying a thin layer of cooking oil. For the Kamado, daily wipe-downs prevent grease buildup, while occasional deep cleaning ensures smooth operation.

White spots, mineral buildup, and discoloration can develop over time with regular use. Baking soda or Bar Keepers Friend can help restore the finish, while a cookware-safe bleach solution can bring back the original color for more stubborn stains.

For stuck-on food, use Bar Keepers Friend to break down residue and restore the surface. For oil stains, a baking soda paste works well—the trick is using a balled-up piece of plastic wrap as a gentle scrubber. You’ll be surprised how effective it can be.
