Shutting Off Grill

When you are done cooking, simply press the power button. The blower fan will start to cool 
your grill down and will shut off on its own. The auger will feed pellets during the process; this is 
completely normal. Keep lid closed during this process. Do not move until fully cooled.

Tips, Tricks, and Temps

Preheating

It is important to allow your grill to preheat to achieve your desired cooking temperature before 
cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature 
once your food is introduced. 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 your desired cooking temperature. It is 
important to leave the lid closed during preheating.

Pellet Information

Ultimate Blend premium hardwood pellets contain approximately 8,200 BTUs of heat per pound 
and leave less than 1% ash residue. Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet pellets will swell 
and turn back into sawdust. For the best results, always use premium hardwood pellets in your grill. 
The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in temperature variations, uneven 
cooking, and poor results. Remember, pellets do not contain preservatives and will deteriorate over 
time.

Caution: Some wood pellets produced for heating fuel have a high content of softwood which can 

include pitch and should not be used for cooking. Always check with the pellet manufacturer to 

ensure that you are cooking with a premium, 100% hardwood pellet.
