Care Instructions

Cleaning your NOMAD is a snap. Let it fully cool down and then remove the ash. As needed, clean your grill with mild soap and warm water. Never use any harsh chemical cleaners as it may damage the anodized finish. Be sure to completely dry your grill and grates before storage so it’s ready for your next adventure. Listed below are best practices for clean & care (by component) to ensure your grill lasts a lifetime:

OUTER SHELL:
Although anodizing aluminum creates a very hard surface, you can actually damage it if you use a harsh cleaner on it. Here are a few best practices we recommend for cleaning the exterior of the aluminum case (with Type II Anodization finish)...

~ Pick A Neutral Cleaner:
The best cleaners for anodized aluminum are close to neutral (in the pH range of six to eight) as opposed to anything too acidic or too alkaline. We've found that dishwashing soap and/ or Bar Keepers Friend (in conjunction with Magic Erasers) are both great choices.

~ Test The Cleaner:
Before you use the cleaner on the whole area, try it out on an inconspicuous area to make sure the cleaner doesn't stain or damage the anodized aluminum before using it to clean the rest of the aluminum surface.

~ Use Light Abrasion If Necessary:
A sponge with a bit of abrasion can help clean the tough surface of anodized aluminum. However, stick to something with mild abrasive properties, like a scrubby sponge (NOT a steel wool scrubber). If it's only lightly soiled, stick to a clean rag or washcloth.

CAST COOKBOX:
When your coals are completely extinguished, you can properly dispose of the remnants by dumping the coals or by using a Shop-Vac to vacuum out the ash. The interior cookboxes are die-cast aluminum with a Mil-Spec, Type III Hardcoat anodized finish. Those parts have the same finish found in automotive and aerospace parts, so you can use a bit of dish soap there as well and could hose or spray those internal cookbox parts with a high-pressure rinse.

How does it work?

The NOMAD is a charcoal-fueled portable grill and smoker. 

  1. Find a safe place to grill
    Place your NOMAD on a secure/solid, non-combustible surface (on the ground, a stable table, or a metal stand). Never place your grill directly on a plastic table, or any composite surface, as they could melt or catch fire.
  2. Light your charcoal
    Use a chimney starter with 1-2 NOMAD Fire Starters in the base to help quickly light your coals. Wait until charcoal is burning all the way through and covered in ash (usually 30+ minutes). Use tongs to safely load your charcoal across the fins of your cookbox for maximum airflow.
  3. Grilling mode for high heat/direct fire
    open the grill up flat and utilize both sides for cooking (with optional second grate). Load 9-12 bricks of NOMAD 100% All-Natural Charcoal in each cookbox for ripping hot searing temps.
  4. Smoker mode for low & slow offset cooking
    For single-grate smoking with the hood closed, load 6-9 bricks of NOMAD Fire for a typical two-zone, offset cook. We recommend restricting your charcoal to a third of the cookbox (to the side opposite the thermometer), freeing up the other two-thirds to place your protein. There's no built-in deflector by design and so you have some flexibility there. We're fans of using a few pieces of our Smoking Wood Splits to act as a partition while also lending smoky flavor.

Is it worth it?

In short, absolutely.

Designed to do it all, NOMAD is an incredible portable grill. However, our customers often tell us how their NOMAD has displaced their stationary, at-home cooking devices because of its compact convenience, thermal efficiency, & all-purpose performance.

Thick-gauge aluminum shell casings are anodized — a chemical conversion process that protects the surface for ultimate durability & corrosion resistance. The diecast cookboxes on the interior are anodized as well (Mil-Spec, Type III), so there’s no paint to peel, chip or bubble.

Read through thousands of reviews from real NOMAD customers, professional cooks, & pitmasters who all agree that the build quality, performance & versatility of the NOMAD Grill is second to none.

Why did we make it?

Tired of the quasi-disposable, powder-coated, stamped steel & barely bolted cookers, we set out to build a better grill — one that’s over-engineered to last for generations. Built like a tank, NOMAD is a revolt against cut-rate kettles & camp cookers that rattle and fall apart after a season of use.

Who is it made for?

Matching strength & sturdiness with practical applications, NOMAD is built to enhance the outdoor cooking experience for a number of scenarios.

At the end of the day, NOMAD was built for those who need a grill that can keep up. Whether that is in the back yard for a weeknight smoke session or a companion grill for an epic road trip, to a sturdy portable that will make it through a weekend at deer camp and back, the NOMAD Grill & Smoker is the perfect portable provision for epic grilling at home or on-the-roam.
