The temperature dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the cooking
temperature of the grill. See the table below for recommended temperatures.
The outside temperature effects cooking times. If it is hot outside, cooking times will be
less. If it is cold, wet or windy, it will take longer to cook food.
The grill is designed to operate with the lid closed and cooking with the lid open
will increase cooking times.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: WHEN OPERATING THIS GRILL, MAINTAIN A MINIMUM
CLEARANCE OF 12 INCHES FROM GRILL TO COMBUSTIBLES.
Never move the grill when it is hot. Make sure the fire is out and the grill is cold before
moving it. Never put water in the firebox to cool it, as this will jam the auger.
NEVER ADD PELLETS BY HAND TO A HOT FIRE POT
.
This is dangerous and you may be
seriously burned. If you run out of Pellets and lose your fire while cooking, let the Grill
completely cool and start again with the
INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS.
Make sure the heat baffle is properly seated on its locating brackets, as failure to do so
may cause flame to come out of the firebox and create a grease fire in the grill. The long
flanges of the heat baffle should be pointing down over the firebox.
Clean the grease drain pan, V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube on a
consistent basis to prevent grease fires.
