COOKING:
• Set temperature controller to desired level and allow temperature to be reached.
• Place food on cooking grill.
• With hood closed, cook until desired internal temperature is reached.
• Use caution when removing food from Pellet Grill. All surfaces are HOT and may cause burns. Use
protective gloves or long, sturdy cooking tools to remove food.
• This grill is HOT while in use and will remain HOT for a period of time afterwards.
Use caution
.
• Pellet grills do not provide smoke 100% of the time. Even though you don’t see smoke you are still
getting smoke fl avor.
OPERATING TIPS:
• Your Pellet Grill should never be moved while it is hot. If you are transporting your grill in a vehicle after
cooking on it, make sure the fi re is completely out and the grill is cold before placing it in any vehicle.
NEVER put water into the fi re pot. It will jam the auger and can damage the ignitor.
• The Pellet Grill is designed to operate with the lid closed.
• Make sure the heat baffle is properly seated on its locating brackets. The opening of the heat baffle
should be pointing left over the fi re pot. If not seated properly, direct heat and fl ame could come up out
of the fi re pot and cause a grease fi re or grill damage.
• The temperature readout is an approximate and can be affected by the following factors: outside
ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid
being opened, and the quantity of food.
•
When selecting a temperature setting, the auger will feed pellets for several minutes. This will
momentarily raise the temperature, but the temperature will decrease and stabilize after 10-15 minutes.
•
The auger will not run 100% of the time, it cycles on and off depending on the temperature setting.
•
Hot weather can cause the temp to drop very slowly and make it more difficult to cook at lower settings.
•
This grill is equipped with a pellet hopper sensor. “LOW PELLET” will start fl ashing on the controller
and it will start beeping once the pellets are below the sensor.
•
Pellets can hang up in the pellet hopper after cooking for a long period of time. It’s important to monitor
the pellet level and mix the pellets by hand to ensure they fl ow into the auger.

grease reservoir toward the back of the grill. Push
the Griddle to the back of the grill. It is best to
locate the Griddle near the middle of the grill.
2. Turn grill to the desired temperature and allow
15 to 20 minutes for griddle to get to desired
temperature.
3. Keeping the lid closed during cooking will help
prevent grease splatter.
