Control Settings The "P" setting is too high. Lowering the "P" setting will decrease large fluctuations in
temperature. Push the "P" SET button, and decrease the "P" setting. Similar to a campfire,
fueling the burn pot (fire) more frequently will result in less heat fluctuations. A lower "P"
setting, such as P1, will provide the most stable temperature.

for ash build-up. Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked.
Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Check auger motor to confirm
operation, and ensure there is no blockage in the auger tube. Once all the above steps have
been done, start the grill, set temperature to SMOKE and wait for 10 minutes. Check that the
flame produced is bright and vibrant.
