GETTING STARTED
Following is a list of the important tips that will contribute to the cooking perfection that you can expect when
using your grill:
ENVIRONMENT
As with all barbecues, the outside weather conditions will play a big part in the performance of your grill and
the cooking times needed to perfect your culinary delights. Your grill, because of its single wall construction,
should be considered as a 2 to 3 season grill, depending on what part of the country you live in.
GRILL PLACEMENT
Your pellet grill should always be a minimum of 36" away from any wall or structure around the entirety of the
grill. Your grill does come with wheels, so the smoker and chimney stack can be turned away from the wind
resulting in better temperature output. Being able to shelter your grill from the wind will have many benefits.
This will aid in temperature output, heat retention, and heat recovery time when opening the lid.
OPERATING THE GRILL
• Initial Burn Off
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, we recommend that you "burn off" the grill to rid it of any foreign
matter. Light and operate the grill on HIGH with the lid down for 30 – 40 minutes.
• Lighting your Grill
It is the recommended practice to always clean your burn grate after every 1 to 3 uses.
This will ensure proper ignition and successful grilling experiences. Light as per instructions found in detail later
in this manual.
Should your auto igniter not ignite the wood pellets, it is easy to light your grill manually with a match and
lighting agent. (refer to manual lighting instructions found elsewhere in this manual)
• Pre-Heating
It is extremely important to ALWAYS allow your grill to preheat before cooking. This allows the grill and cooking
grids to heat up quicker and ensure the grill is able to maintain its cooking temperature once your food is
placed in the cooking area. 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 desired cooking temperatures.
Always pre-heat your Grill with the lid closed. ONLY after your Grill has ignited, close the lid and
set your temperature control knob to HIGH for 10-15 minutes depending on weather.
• Lid Position
Always cook with the lid closed. Not only does this keep the temperature even, the food will cook faster, using less
fuel. A closed lid also helps to create a smokier flavor. You can slow down your cooking by propping up the lid.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must OPEN the lid during both the "Start-Up" and "Shut Down" cycles.
CAUTION: Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining your grill, or failing to clean the
bottom of the barrel on a consistent basis. In the unlikely event you experience a grease fire
while cooking, keep the lid closed. If it does not go out in a short time, open the lid and lightly
sprinkle baking soda on the fire. If this does not work, then carefully remove the food, push the
power button to OFF and shut the lid until the fire is completely out.
