7. After the pre-heating is complete, you are now ready to enjoy
the pellet grill advantage. Remember that lower temperatures
produce more flavor and less chance of flare-ups.
NOTE:
Different wood pellets will produce different temperatures;
as well the outside temperature and weather conditions will also
affect your cooking temperatures. The settings and read outs on the
control and thermometers are APPROXIMATE.
IF GRILL FAILS TO IGNITE:
1. Turn the Temperature Dial to OFF. Open the lid, remove the
Cooking Grids and Flame Broiler.
2. Remove all unburned pellets and ash from the Fire Pot. DO NOT
touch the Igniter. This item gets extremely HOT and will cause
burns.
3. When all cleaned, turn Temperature Dial to SMOKE. Check the
following:
• Visually confirm the Igniter is working, by placing your hand
above the burn pot.
• Visually confirm the Igniter is protruding approx. 1/2” into the
burn
pot.
• Visually confirm Pellets are dropping in the Fire Pot from
Auger.
• Confirm the Combustion Fan is working.
4. If one or all of the above are not working, see the trouble
shooting section or contact Customer Service. 1-877-303-3134.
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
IF FOR ANY REASON YOUR ELECTRIC IGNITER FAILS, YOU CAN
START YOUR GRILL USING THIS MANUAL METHOD.
NOTE:
Always clean or check your burn pot before each use. This will
ensure proper ignition, heat output and many continuous happy
grilling experiences.
MANUAL START UP
1. Ensure the Temperature Dial is in the “OFF” position.
2. Plug the POWER CORD into an 110V grounded outlet. DO NOT
break the ground end of the cord or use a non-grounded
outlet or extension cord.
NOTE: When plugged into a GFI, ensure it is at least 15 amps.
Lower quality GFI’s may trip, try plugging appliance into a surge
protected power bar first.
3. OPEN the HOPPER LID. Ensure there are NO foreign objects in
the hopper or Auger feed system. Fill hopper with dry all natural
flavored wood pellets.
4. Remove the COOKING GRIDS, FLAME BROILER to expose the
17
BURN POT.
5. Place a generous handful of pellets into the BURN POT.
6. Squirt gelled fire starter, or other approved pellet starter, over
the top of the pellets or add a small amount of solid fuel fire
starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood
shavings. Add a small amount of pellets over the fire starter.
7. Light the starter using a long fireplace match or long lighter.
WARNING:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADD MORE STARTER INTO A
FIRE THAT IS ALREADY BURNING OR INTO A HOT BURN-GRATE.
YOU COULD EXPERIENCE A BURN BACK AND YOU COULD GET
SERIOUSLY BURNT.
8. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
9. Quickly and carefully replace the FLAME BROILER and COOKING
GRIDS.
10. Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. This activates the startup
cycle. The feed system will start to turn, and the fan will supply
air to the fire pot. Your grill will begin to produce smoke while
the startup cycle is taking place.
11. Turn the Temperature Dial to HIGH, to allow the unit to preheat
for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LATERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN-UP
THE FIRE! KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE GRILL
WHILE IT IS IN USE.
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
Your “Pit Boss” Pellet Grill will give you many years of flavorful
service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing the
grill and cooking grids to “Self-Clean” by running the grill on HIGH
temperature for 5—10 minutes after each use.
When finished cooking on your grill, turn the Temperature Dial to
HIGH. Let your grill run for 5 to 10 minutes to go through its normal
cleaning method. If you have been preparing meats that are extra
greasy, it is a good practice to allow the grill to burn for an extra
10 to 20 minutes. This will reduce the chances of “Flare-Up” while
preparing your next savory meal.
When complete, simply turn the Temperature Dial down to 200 °F
position for approximately 5 minutes to allow any excess pellets to
burn off. OPEN the lid of your grill and turn control to “OFF”. Your
grill will begin its automatic “Shut Down” procedure. The Auger
system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn itself out, and the
combustion / cooling fan will continue to run for a 2 minute period.
When this procedure is complete, the FAN will turn off.
