INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
(To be used on initial firing or anytime the grill runs out of pellets)
1) Open the door and remove the cast iron grate/porcelain coated grate, grease drain pan/water pan, and heat baffle from inside the grill.
2) Make sure the dial is in the OFF position. Plug the Power cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet.
3) Open the Pellet Hopper Lid and locate the Auger. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the Auger. Turn the dial ON and look into
the Pellet Hopper to confirm the Auger is turning. At the same time, place your fingers over Firepot and feel the air movement from
the fan. Look to see if the Hot Rod is getting hot. DO NOT TOUCH IT! Turn the dial OFF.
4) Fill the Pellet Hopper with PITMASTER Q3 Pellets. Never use “heating fuel pellets” in the grill. Warning: Only use Myron Mixon
Pitmaster Q3 wood pellets which are specifically made to work with our grills. Myron Mixon Pitmaster Q3 wood pellets are rated for
8500 BTU/ lbs. with and ash content of 3%. Fill the hopper completely with pellets. Turn the Dial ON, set the temperature to 350 de-
grees. NOTE: During initial charging of the auger, it will take time for the pellets to travel from the Pellet Hopper to the Firepot. When
the pellets begin to fall into the Firepot, turn the Temperature setting to OFF, wait 15 seconds before proceeding to Step 5.
5) Turn the Temperature setting to ON, set the temperature Dial to SMOKE. Let the pellets come to a full flame. Once you see flames
come out of the Firepot, turn the dial OFF, and let the grill cool down. Position the Heat Baffle, the Grease Drain Pan/water pan, and
the cast iron grates/porcelain coated grates in their proper locations.
6) With the Door/Lid OPEN, turn the dial ON, and set the temperature Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes, you will notice
whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill as the pellets ignite. After assuring the pellets have ignited, close the door and set the
temperature to the 350 degrees setting.
7) Before cooking the first batch of food in your new PITMASTER Q3 grill, you will need to season the grill. With the Temperature on
350 DEGREES, run for 45 minutes at this setting with the Door CLOSED. This must be done before cooking any food on the grill.
8) Water pan should always be inserted when grill is in use. For wet smoking, ensure the water pan is filled with a liquid of your choice.
For neutral flavor use water.
9) Make sure to season the cast iron grates.
