USING A MEAT PROBE
•
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of the meat on the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Insert the stainless-
steel meat probe into the thickest portion of the meat. The internal temperature of the meat is shown on the Control Board
readout. Plug-in the Meat Probe adapter to the meat probe connection port and ensure it is inserted all the way into the
plug. You will feel and hear it snap in place.
NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct
contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the rear
exhaust holes of the Main Barrel, the top of the Main Barrel (near the grill lid hinge), or through the front hole
near the hopper. When not in use, disconnect from the meat probe connection port, and place in the holes on the
hopper handle to keep protected and clean.
CONNECTING TO THE PIT BOSS® GRILLS APP
Follow these instructions on how to connect your grill to the Pit Boss® Grills app with your Android™ or iOS® device. The app will
allow you to control and monitor your grill and meat probe temperatures from your mobile device. Enjoy the benefits that Pit
Boss® Grills mobile connectivity has to offer!
1. Download the Pit Boss® Grills app. Open the app and allow Bluetooth® to be enabled for setup. New users will need to
create an account and follow the prompts to login.
2. If you are within Bluetooth® range (9 m / 30 ft), the Pit Boss® Grills app will automatically detect your grill. Select your
grill model. If you do not see your grill on the screen, ensure your unit is connected to a power source and is turned on.
3. Name your grill model (ie. My Smoker) in the app and select "Connect" at the bottom of the screen. This will save your
grill model in the devices menu.
4. From the devices menu, click the grill model to connect. This will show you the control board screen.
5. Click the settings option (gear) in the top-right corner, enter your Wi-Fi credentials, then click the check mark at the
bottom of the screen to connect. Now both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (cloud) icons will show on the devices menu, showing
that the grill is connected.
While using the app, the screen will shine bright when the grill is active and connected. If the app screen or grill goes
dark on the devices menu, check your wireless connection or power source.
AUGER PRIMING PROCEDURE
First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not primed,
the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
• Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement. DO
NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer above
the burn pot. The igniter tip does not glow red but will get extremely hot and will burn. DO NOT touch the igniter.
5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7. Turn the grill on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
8. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot. Now you can release the
Prime Button.
9. You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the cool down
cycle. Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shutdown cycle, it is safe to unplug your grill.
10. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel.
11. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first time you are using your grill, you should perform a First Initial
Grill Burn-off.
