Once your auger has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill
burn-off to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.
1.
Follow Regular Use instructions (below) to turn the unit on.
2.
Turn the Controller Knob to any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes.
3.
Follow Shut-down instructions to turn the unit off, or proceed with grilling at your desired temperature.
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results
based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what
you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the
results. Adjust to your taste for the next time. As you become familiar
with your grill, it is wise to place an outdoor thermometer close to your
cooking area. Practice makes perfect.
Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly
match the thermometer. The cooking temperature is affected by
the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount
and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the
lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.
Follow these steps for regular use of your grill:
1.
Confirm the auger is primed. If not, prime the auger.
2.
Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. (A)
3.
Open the hopper lid to check your level of pellets. Refill with all
natural barbecue hardwood pellets if needed. (B)
4.
Open the grill lid. (C)
5.
Press the Power Button to turn the unit on (D). This will activate
the start-up cycle:
•
The auger feed system will begin to turn, and the fan will
supply air to the burn pot.
The lid must remain open during the start-up cycle.
•
The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle
is taking place (E). To confirm the start-up cycle has begun
properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being
produced.
6.
Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is
complete. Close the grill lid. (F)
7.
Press the Controller Knob. Turn the Controller Knob to change the
Target temperature value to your desired temperature. Once the
desired Target temperature is reached, lock it in by pressing the
Controller Knob again and start grilling! (G)
