Performance Tips 

Preheating 

It is important to allow your grill to preheat and achieve your desired cooking temperature before 
cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature 
once  your food is introduced. If  you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a 
longer  period of  time to bring both the grill and the food to your desired cooking temperature. 

Pellet Information 

Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet  pellets will swell and turn back into sawdust. 

For 

best results, always use premium hardwood  pellets in your grill. 

The use of  grades other 

than premium hardwood pellets may result in temperature variations, uneven cooking, and poor 
results. Remember pellets do not contain preservatives and will deteriorate over time. Always 
Store pellets in a cool dry place. Never load wet pellets into the grill 

Caution: Heating fuel pellets for home heating pellet stoves have a high content of 
softwood  which can include glue and should NEVER be used for cooking. Always check 
with the pellet  manufacturer to ensure that you are cooking with a premium 100% 
hardwood pellet.

 

Lid Position 

Always cook with the lid closed. Use the meat probe to check the meats temperature. A open lid allows 
heat to escape and sends false temperature information to the digital control. This will also hinder the 
natural convection air flow needed to produce the wood smoke and flavor. The open lid will also 
increase your cook time. Remember 

“If you are looking you are not cooking” 

Other Tips 

Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function. It is advised to clean
before any long cook.

Always use grill on a level surface.

Clean fire pot regularly. This will ensure proper ignition and proper

heating

Not all pellets are created equal, always use dry and fresh pellets.

Always store pellets in a dry area.

Get to know your grill, keep good cooking notes. Practice makes

Perfect!

Always allow your meat to rest before serving. Typically the internal temperature can climb 10
degrees after removing from the grill. This will help make your food more flavorful
