The

LCD Screen

is used as the information center for your unit. The LCD screen will display your Desired Cook

Temperature, Actual Cook Temperature, and Meat Probe Temperatures (if connected). If only one Meat Probe

is connected, only one reading will be displayed.

Press and hold the

Prime Button

to activate an extra feed of pellets to the fire pot. This can be used to add

more fuel to the fire before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery time. It can also be used

while smoking, to increase the intensity of clean smoke flavor. Requested from competition cookers.

The

Smoke Setting

on the Temperature Control Dial operates the unit at the lowest temperature, without

the fire going out.

The plug-in connection port(s) on the front of the Control Board are for a

Meat Probe(s)

When a meat probe is connected, the temperature is displayed on the LCD Screen. When not in

use, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port.

Compatible with Pit Boss® branded

meat probes only. Additional meat probe(s) sold separately.

UNDERSTANDING THE "P" SETTING

When the recessed "P" SET button is pushed, the “P” setting displayed on the LCD

screen will flash and change to the next value (upward). Once P7 is reached, it will

restart at P0. There are eight “P” settings, ranging from P0 to P7. The recessed "P" SET

button can be pushed using a thin-tipped object.

IMPORTANT: Do not push the "P" SET button too hard, as this may cause

damage. Only a light push is needed.

USING THE "P" SETTING IN SMOKE MODE

Anytime the temperature dial is set to SMOKE, such as the start-up cycle, the

auger will run on more of a manual mode of cooking versus using one of the

preset dial temperatures. First, the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets

for four minutes. After four minutes, the auger begins to run a feed cycle based

on the "P' setting selected on the Digital Control Board. The default setting is P4.

HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE

These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited, and each time the grill runs out of pellets in the hopper.

The auger must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the fire pot.

If not primed, the

igniter will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start.

Follow these steps to prime the hopper:

1.  Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system at the bottom.
2.  Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom of the main barrel.
3.  Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the

Power Button

to turn the unit on, and turn the

Temperature

Control Dial

to the SMOKE position. Check the following items:

• That you can hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the fire pot and feel for air movement. Do not place your

hand or fingers inside the fire pot. This can cause injury.

• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the

fire pot. The igniter tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the igniter.

4. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press the

Power Button

to turn the unit off.
