“P” Settings
The fuel feed rate setting is displayed momentarily whenever the cook control switch is set to the smoke position.
It is also displayed whenever the smoke control switch is adjusted. The setting is designated with the letter “P” and
a number. The greater the “P” setting number the greater the auger off time.

Dual Function
The selected “P” setting controls both the smoke mode fuel feed rate and the cook mode idle fuel feed rate.
They are one and the same.
For example, if “P3” is selected using the smoke control switch, the auger delivers fuel for 15 seconds, turns off for
75 seconds, and repeats in smoke mode. It also delivers fuel for 15 seconds, turns off for 75 seconds and repeats while
idling in cook mode.
Cook Mode
The idle fuel feed rate is the rate of fuel delivery that dle fuel feed rate maintains the fi re in the fi re pot without
raising the grill’s temperature.
In cook mode, whenever the grill temperature is at or above the set temperature, the auger runs at the idle fuel feed
rate. If the grill temperature is below the set temperature, the auger operates per the on fuel feed rate.
We recommend the “P2” setting as the default idle fuel feed rate while in cook mode.
For the experienced operator, the auger idle fuel feed rate can be adjusted to improve the grill’s performance.
For example, to optimize temperature stability at a high temperature setting, select “P1” or “P0” to increase the
auger idle fuel feed rate or, if due to ambient conditions the grill is unable to cool down enough to reach a low
temperature setting such as 180 degrees, select “P3”, “P4”, or higher to decrease the idle fuel feed rate.
High Temperature Idle Fuel Feed Rate
In cook mode, the idle fuel feed rate for the high temperature setting is preprogrammed into the control. The idle fuel
feed auger timing at high is 15 seconds on / 15 seconds off and is independent of the smoke control switch “P” setting.
The preprogrammed fuel feed rate helps maintain the elevated cooking temperature at the high setting.
