USING WOOD PELLET FUEL
Wood pellets appear no thicker than the eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see them for
the first time think they look like rabbit food; however, there is nothing small about the heat or
flavor in barbecue wood pellet fuel. These clean-burning barbecue wood pellets generate about
8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content (5-7%), and are carbon neutral.
Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being pulverized with a
hammer-mill, and the material is pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced
through the die, it is cut, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged for consumer use.
Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area.
UNDERSTANDING THE “P” SETTING
The benefit of the
“P” Set
button is that it allows the cook to have fine tuned control of their grill
to compensate for ambient temperature, humidity, wind, environmental changes, pellet fuel type
and quality.
When the recessed
“P” Set
button is pushed, the
“P” SET
displayed on the LCD screen will
flash and change to the next value (upward). Once P7 is reached, it will restart at P0. There are
eight
“P”
setting, ranging from P0 to P7. The recessed
“P” Set
button can be pushed using a
thin-tipped object, such as a pen tip, toothpick, kabob skewer or screwdriver.
IMPORTANT: Do n
ot push the “P” Set button too hard, as this may cause damage. Only a
light push is needed.

USING THE “P” SETTING IN SMOKE MODE
Anytime the control knob is set to the
SMOKE
setting, such as the start-up of the unit, the auger
will run on a manual mode of cooking versus using one of the preset temperatures on the control
knob.
First, the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets for six minutes or reach 180
°
F. After six
minutes or reach 180
°
F
, the auger begins to run a feed cycle based on the “P” setting selected
on the pellet control panel. The default setting is P4.
