7.5 Turn off the Device
After the barbecue finishes, please safely turn off the device:
First, please open the upper cover of the control box, remove the residual fuel from the box and
keep it properly for next use;
Then, let the device continue to work 5 to ten minutes to discharge the fuel in the feeder;
Next, turn the knob to the OFF position, but do not unplug the power right now. At this time, the
cooling fan will continue to work for 5 minutes until the fuel is burned off and extinguished.
Finally, please unplug the power, and store the grill in a cool and ventilated place to avoid sun
exposure and heavy rain.
7.6 Cooking Instructions
Breaking In the Grill
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour before cooking on the grill for the first time. This
will burn off any manufacturing oils and cure the paint.
Cooking
Once the grill is ignited, you can begin cooking by selecting any of the cooking temperatures.
Cooking should be done with the lid closed only. If the lid is left open the feed rate will increase
and the temperature will overshoot. You should cook all meat using the temperature probe to ensure
that the internal temperature of the meet reaches the recommended temperature for the level of done
desired.
Meat Probes
This smoker has a built in meat probes to measure the temperature of the food as it is being cooked.
To use the probe insert the probes into the food. Plug the connectors into the receptacle into the
front of the control panel. The probe temp shows on the lower left side of the display on the front
Cleaning
Clean grates using a wire grill brush. This should be done with each use. DO NOT use oven cleaner
or abrasive cleaners on the painted grill surfaces. Use warm soapy water on all painted surfaces.
Clean grease pan, grease trough, and grease drain tube occasionally. A spatula can be used to scrape
excess grease and a grill brush to brush clean. Do not allow grease to build up on the grease tray or
in the grease trough as this can cause flare-ups inside the grill. Make sure not to obstruct the
flow of grease off of the tray and into the grease rough. Make sure not to block the airflow to the
temperature sensor on the left side of the grill.
Chimney Cleaning
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cook oven
chimney of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the chimney. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected at least twice a
year to determine when grease and or creosote buildup has occurred. When grease or creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce risk of fire. Use a wire brush to clean the screen area
of the chimney outlet on the inside of the grill with every 50 hours of use.
