Step 2 Open cooking chamber lid and turn temperature control knob to "SMOKE" . You should see
smoke coming out of the cooking chamber as the pellets ignite in about 2 minutes.
NOTE: Always start the grill on "SMOKE" setting with the cooking chamber lid open.
Step 3 Close cooking chamber lid and set the temperature control knob to the desired setting. For
best results, preheat the grill for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid closed before placing food in the
grill.
Follow these steps If the grill does not ignite or if the fi re in the fi re pot goes out while cooking:
Step 1 Turn the temperature control knob to "OFF" and unplug. Open cooking chamber lid and
remove all food, cooking grills, grease tray and heat distribution plate.
CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
WARNING: Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Metal parts become hot
during use. Use extreme caution when handling cooking grills, grease tray and baffle.
Step 2 Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the fi re pot.
Step 3 Restart the grill and check that the ignition cycle is working. The heating element
should turn red after 1-2 minutes and pellets should be falling into the fi re pot from the auger tube.
Step 4 Wearing oven mitts/gloves, replace the baffle, grease tray and cooking grills.
Step 5 Preheat the grill for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid closed before placing food back in the grill. If this
procedure is not successful, see Trouble Shooting section in your owner's manual.
TURNING OFF THE GRILL:
• Turn the temperature control knob to "OFF" . An auto cool down feature will keep the fan running for
several minutes.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
WARNING: NEVER add cooking pellets to a hot fi re pot by hand. You could be seriously burned.
If the hopper runs out of pellets or your fi re goes out while cooking, let the grill completely cool
and follow the Initial Lighting Instructions.
COOKING:
• Set temperature controller to desired level and allow temperature to be reached.
• Place food on cooking grill.
• With lid open or closed, cook until desired internal temperature is reached.
• Use caution when removing food from Pellet Fuel Grill. All surfaces are HOT and may cause burns.
Use protective gloves or long, sturdy cooking tools to remove food.
• Pellet Fuel Grill is HOT while in use and will remain HOT for a period of time afterwards. Use caution.

OPERATING TIPS:

• Your Trail Embers Pellet Smoker & 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.
• The Trail Embers Pellet Smoker & Grill® is designed to operate with the lid closed. Cooking with the lid
open greatly lengthens your cooking time.
• Make sure the heat baffle is properly seated on its locating brackets. The long legs of the heat baffle
should be pointing down 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 in the grill.
• Smoke stack cap can be adjusted up or down to provide additional temperature and smoke control.
