Starting the 180-LV
Once pellets are in the hopper and primed in the auger, we
like
to start the controller on SMOKE.
You will note that
the fire gets hot quickly and when it exceeds 150 move the
dial to the desired temperature setting. There may be fluc-
tuations in the temperature, but if you are cooking at 180,
you will be cooking for several hours so this won’t affect the
outcome of your food.
Adjusting the 180-LV
On the back of the controller is a dial 0-9. You can adjust
this setting to compensate if your grill is getting too hot or not
hot enough.
The controller feeds pellets for a certain time, then off for a
certain time, to allow the pellets to burn.
Increasing this
dial setting increases the amount of time it is “off”.
By
increasing this setting, you should decrease the temperature
of the grill.
Be Patient!
Cooking with wood is awesome, but it reacts much slower than
gas or charcoal. When cooking, be patient and allow the grill
some fluctuations in temperature as is the nature of wood.
** NEVER ADJUST THE CONTROLLER WHILE THE
POWER IS PLUGGED IN **
