CHIMP WOOD PELLET GRILL
OPERATION MANUAL

Maintenance and care
Here are some maintenance and cleaning tips to help keep your Chimp running and operating smoothly.
It may be helpful to refer to the “Parts Diagram” in this Operation Manual to locate the parts on your grill
discussed below. Your Chimp can run efficiently for extended periods of time at different heat output levels,
as long as the wood pellet supply is uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is performed.
• Always make sure your Chimp is off and cold before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
• Use a wire brush to clean your cooking grates after each use.
• Cover your drip tray with aluminum foil, and then change the foil frequently. This is the simplest way to
maintain your drip pan. Ensure foil is wrapped tightly around the grease tray.
• If you have used a low-and-slow method that has caused the accumulation of grease on the aluminum
foil, be sure to change it before cooking at high temperatures (or risk causing a grease fire).
• After every fifth bag of wood pellets, clean the ash from the interior of your grill, empty hopper and
vacuum out debris (a shop vacuum cleaner is the perfect tool for this job).
• Clean inner temperature probe.
• Don’t ever use wet pellets in your grill as they will swell and jam your Chimp’s auger.
• Once the grill is completely cooled, clean its outside with automotive wax, per the product’s directions.
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the grill’s powder-coated parts.
• Use a soft cloth and stainless steel polish to clean any of the grill’s stainless steel parts.
