GETTING STARTED
With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods,
one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake. One
of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat
method of cooking, such as grilling. Throughout this manual, you
will notice the emphasis on grilling food slowly at LOW or MEDIUM
temperature settings. With the benefit of convection cooking, and
the use of the “Flame Broiler”, your “Pit Boss” Grill will enable you to
avoid flare-ups and maximize the nutritional value of the foods that
you cook.
Following is a list of the important tips that will contribute to the
cooking perfection that you can expect when using your Grill:
ENVIRONMENT
As with all barbecues, the outside weather conditions will play a
big part in the performance of your Pit Boss and the cooking times
needed to perfect your culinary delights. Your “Pit Boss”, because of
its single wall construction, should be considered as a 2 to 3 season
grill, depending on what part of the country you live in.
GRILL PLACEMENT
Your “Pit Boss” Pellet Grill should always be a minimum of 12 inches
away from any wall or structure around the entire grill. Your grill
does come with wheels, so the smoker and chimney stack can be
turned away from the wind resulting in better temperature output.
If you are able to shelter your grill from the wind, this will also aid
in temperature output, heat retention, and heat recovery time when
opening the lid.
OPERATING THE GRILL
Initial Burn Off
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, we recommend that
you “burn off” the grill to rid it of any foreign matter. Light and
operate the grill on HIGH with the lid down for 30 – 40 minutes.
Lighting your Grill
It is recommended practice to always clean your burn grate after
every 1 to 3 uses.
This will ensure proper ignition and many happy
grilling experiences. Light as per instructions found in detail later in
this manual.
Should your auto igniter refuse to ignite the wood pellets, it is easy
to light your grill manually with a match and lighting agent (refer to
manual lighting instructions found elsewhere in this manual).
Pre-Heating
It is extremely important to ALWAYS allow your grill to preheat before
cooking. This allows the grill and cooking grids to heat up quicker and
the grill is able to maintain its cooking temperature once your food
is placed in the cooking area. 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 cooking temperatures.
Always pre-heat your “Pit Boss” Grill with the lid closed. ONLY after
your Grill has ignited, close the lid and set your temperature control
knob to HIGH for 10-15 minutes depending on weather. This gives you
enough time to prepare your food for the grill; as well it is the final
step in cleaning your cooking grids.
Lid Position
Always cook with the lid closed. Not only does this keep the
temperature even, the food will cook faster, using less fuel. A closed
lid also helps to create a smokier flavor. You can slow down your
cooking by propping up the lid.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must OPEN the lid during both the
"Start-Up" and "Shut Down" cycles.
Caution:
Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining your
grill, or failing to clean the bottom of the barrel on a consistent basis.
In the unlikely event you experience a grease fire while cooking, keep
the lid closed. If it does not go out in a very short time, open the lid
and lightly sprinkle baking soda on the fire. Be careful not to burn
yourself. If this does not work, then carefully remove the food, push
the power button to OFF and shut the lid until the fire is completely
out.
