USING A MEAT PROBE
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of the meat on the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Insert the stainless-
steel meat probe into the thickest portion of the meat. The internal temperature of the meat is shown on the Control Board
readout. Plug-in the Meat Probe adapter to the meat probe connection port and ensure it is inserted all the way into the
plug. You will feel and hear it snap in place.
NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct
contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the rear
exhaust holes of the Main Barrel, the top of the Main Barrel (near the grill lid hinge), or through the front hole
near the hopper. When not in use, disconnect from the meat probe connection port, and place in the holes on the
hopper handle to keep protected and clean.
CONNECTING TO THE SMOKE IT® APP
Follow these instructions on how to connect your grill to the Smoke iT® app with your Android™ or iOS® device. The app will allow
you to control and monitor your grill and meat probe temperatures from your mobile device. Enjoy the benefits that Smoke IT®
mobile connectivity has to offer!
1. Download the Smoke iT® app. Open the app and allow Bluetooth® to be enabled for setup. New users will need to create
an account and follow the prompts to login.
2. If you are within Bluetooth® range (9 m / 30 ft), the Smoke iT® app will automatically detect your grill. Select your grill
model. If you do not see your grill on the screen, ensure your unit is connected to a power source and is turned on.
3. Name your grill model (ie. My Smoker) in the app and select "Connect" at the bottom of the screen. This will save your
grill model in the devices menu.
4. From the devices menu, click the grill model to connect. This will show you the control board screen.
5. Click the settings option (gear) in the top-right corner, enter your Wi-Fi credentials, then click the check mark at the
bottom of the screen to connect. Now both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (cloud) icons will show on the devices menu, showing
that the grill is connected.
While using the app, the screen will shine bright when the grill is active and connected. If the app screen or grill goes
dark on the devices menu, check your wireless connection or power source.
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
ignitor will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start.
Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Open the Main Barrel lid. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom
of the main barrel. Check the fire pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition.
2. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the Power button to Power On the unit. 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 ignitor burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the
fire pot. The ignitor tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the ignitor.
3. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
4. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all
natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
5. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on again. The grill start-up cycle has a preset temperature of 176°C / 350°F, so it
will begin to heat up. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets on the inside of the grill from the auger tube.
Once pellets begin to drop into the fire pot, release the Prime Button.
6. Press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
7. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel. The grill is now ready to use.
