UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROL BOARD
This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) digital Control Board is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The
main advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types.
IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments
calibrated together may not agree with each other.

Press this button once to Power On the unit. This will begin the automatic start-up cycle. Press and hold
this button for three seconds to Power-down the unit, activating the automatic cool-down cycle. The

temperatures of the grill, cooking time, and meat probe temperatures. It also allows you to adjust the
settings of your Control Board.
Press and hold this button to activate a manual continuous feeding of pellets to the burn pot. Releasing
the button will stop the manual feeding of pellets. This can be used to add more fuel to the fire before

opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery. It can also be used while smoking, to increase
the intensity of clean smoke flavor. This feature was requested from competition cookers.
The Controller Knob is used to increase, decrease, and select a setting value. Rotate the Controller Knob
to select the temperature in an active settings menu. Push the Controller Knob to confirm the chosen
value.
