CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you,
your family or others. Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache,
dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide
reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of
consciousness and death. See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms
while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which
can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late. Alcohol consumption
and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is
especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers and
people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

8. Always cover the appliance, with patio cover (if
supplied), when not in use.
9. Always unplug grill before installing patio cover.
10. Use only on a level, stable non-combustible
surface like bricks, concrete or dirt. Do not use
this appliance on any surface that will burn or
melt like wood, asphalt, vinyl or plastic.
11. Make sure burner clean-out is closed before
starting the grill.
12. Make sure the grease bucket is in place before
starting the grill.
13. In the event of a fire the dial should be turned
to shutdown, close the lid, and leave it closed
until the fire goes out. After allowing the grill
to cool, follow the cleaning instructions before
the next use.
14. Use only food grade hardwood pellets
manufactured for use in pellet grills. Using
softwood or heating pellets will void your
warranty.
15. Do not allow the hopper to run out of pellets.
Pellets can be added at any time. The hopper
will hold approximately 18 pounds of pellets.
The pellet usage will vary greatly depending on
the ambient temperature as well as
cooking temperature.
16. It is recommended that you not store pellets
in the hopper for extended periods as they
may absorb moisture from the air and clog the
auger.
17. Keep the lid closed during cooking. The grill is
designed to cook with the lid closed.
18. Note that the cooking temperature displayed
on the digital readout is measured near the
cooking surface on the left side of the grill. The
actual temperature inside the cooking chamber
will vary slightly throughout.
19. Do not use accessories not specified for use
with appliance.
20. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this
appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from
the appliance when in use.
21. Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non combustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal.
When the ashes are disposed by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed they should
be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
22. Creosote – Formation and need for removal.
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they
produce tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in
a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood
of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining and
exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The grease duct
should be inspected at least twice a year to
determine when grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When grease or creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
risk of fire.
DANGER
Do not work on this grill if it is plugged in.
Electric shock may occur resulting in death or
serious injury.

CLEANOUT PORT KNOB
Never open the burner clean-out port when the
grill is hot.
After cleaning out the burner make sure to close the
burner clean-out by pushing the clean-out port knob
in on the right side of the grill. Make sure to lift
the pullout lock and push the clean-out port knob
all the way in and lock in place with the pullout
lock. Every 50 hours of use, remove the grill grates,
grease tray, and heat deflector and clean the inside
of the grill. If you notice a lot of ash blowing around
in the grill it is time to vacuum it out.
Filling the Auger Tube
Caution: Only use the feed setting when hopper
has ran out of pellets. Feed setting is not for
normal use.
The first time you use your grill or any time the
hopper has ran out of pellets you will need to fill
the auger tube. This simply means you must fill
the auger tube with pellets until pellets reach the
burner. This is done by turning the dial to the FEED
position and then holding in the bypass button
for 3 seconds. This will turn the auger on and the
digital readout will display “FEED”. The auger
will remain on for no more than 7 minutes. This is
ample time for the pellets to reach the burner. It
is easiest to open the burner clean-out by pulling
the knob on the right side of the grill. Once you
hear pellets dropping into the cup you can close
the clean-out port by pushing the knob on the
right side of the grill and then select your cooking
temperature. (Never operate grill without the
ash cup in place). Always make sure the burner
clean-out port is closed by pushing in the knob on
the right side of the grill before selecting any of
the cook settings. Never open the burner clean-out
port when the grill is hot.
Emptying the Hopper
This grill is equipped with a hopper drain to quickly
remove the pellets from the hopper. This can be
used to remove pellets if the grill is being stored
for a long time or to remove pellets to change to a
different flavor pellet.
Warning: Never remove the auger guard from the
hopper while the pellet grill is on. Never operate the
grill without the auger guard in place.
Caution: The instructions below must be followed
when emptying the hopper.
1. Unplug the grill from the power source.
2. Hang a bucket or use a box to catch the pellets
that will come out of the tube on the rear of the
hopper.
3. Lift the pullout lock on the left side of the hopper
and pull the hopper clean-out knob.
4. Sweep the remaining pellets in the hopper
towards the drain hole using the included rake to
reach through the guard.
5. Push in the hopper clean-out knob and lock in
place using the pullout lock.
6. Store the rake in the corner of the hopper as
shown in Fig.13.

Controller Explanation
Power Switch
Used to turn the main power onto the pellet grill.
If the dial is on Shutdown when the power switch
is turned on the digital readout will display “---
--“. The dial must be rotated to any of the other
positions before the grill will start. If the power is
turned on with the dial in any other position than
Shutdown the grill will immediately start that
function. “O” is Off. “-“ is On. See Fig. 14
FIG. 14
Dial Positions
Shutdown
This setting must be used after each use. Turn the
dial to this setting and the fan will remain on for
10 minutes before turning off. This setting will burn
up any extra pellets in the burner and cool down the
grill. Do not turn the main power switch off when
the grill is hot.
Feed - This setting is used to feed pellets to the
burner. It will be used the first time you use the
grill to fill the auger tube and any time you may
inadvertently run the hopper out of pellets. See
instructions on filling the auger tube.
Low Smoke - This setting is used for smoking foods
at an average temperature of 160F. This setting will
produce large amounts of smoke.
High Smoke - This setting is used for smoking
foods at an average temperature of 220F. This
setting will produce large amounts of smoke.
175F to 400F - There are 25F increment settings
from 175F to 400F. You can simply select any
temperature you want and the grill will control the
temperature within 15F of the selected temperature.
High - This setting can be used to achieve
temperatures up to 500F depending on ambient
temperatures.
Display
“START” - The digital readout will display “START”
each time the dial is changed from the OFF,
SHUTDOWN, or FEED settings to any of the cook
settings. The startup cycle is approximately 8
minutes. During the cook cycle after the start
sequence the digital readout will display the
temperature inside of the grill. If the Probe Temp
button has been pressed then it will display
the temperature of the external probe used for
measuring meat temperatures.
“SDOWN” - The digital readout will display
“SDOWN” when the dial is turned to the shutdown
mode. After 10 minutes the digital readout and the
fan will turn off.
“SENSR” - The digital readout will display “SENSR”
if there is an error with the temperature sensor
inside of the grill.
“PRERR” - The digital readout will display “PRERR”
when the Probe Temp button is pressed if either
the external probe is not plugged in or there is a
problem with the probe.
“FEED” - The digital readout will display “FEED” if
dial is turned to the feed mode. After 7 minutes the
auger will turn off.
“BPASS” - The digital readout will display “BPASS”
when the bypass button is pressed and held in for 3
seconds. See the setting on Bypass Mode.
“FLAME” - The digital readout will display “flame”
if the fire is extinguished.
Breaking In the Grill
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour
before cooking on the grill for the first time. This will
burn off any manufacturing oils and cure the paint.
Make sure to follow the instructions for filling the
auger tube before breaking in the grill.
DANGER
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid
must be closed after the start cycle.
Cooking
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you
can begin cooking by selecting any of the cooking
temperatures. The grill has 13 cook settings. Low
Smoke, High Smoke, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300,
325, 350, 375, 400, and High. By selecting any of
these the grill will go into the Startup mode. The
digital readout will display “START” for 8 minutes
during the startup cycle. After the 8 minutes the
digital readout will display the internal temperature
of the grill. The dial can be changed at any time
during the startup cycle or the cook cycle between
any of the 13 cook settings.
DANGER
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding pellets
into the burner prior to startup. If flame is
inadvertently extinguished never restart the grill
without first cleaning out the burner. Improper
use can cause an uncontrolled fire.
Shutdown
When you are done cooking the dial must be turned
to the Shutdown setting. The digital readout will
display “SDOWN”. In this setting the fan will remain
on for 10 minutes to finish burning any pellets in
the burner and cool the grill down. After 10 minutes
the digital readout and auger will turn off. At this
point the main power switch should be switched to
off. Before grill can be used, the power switch must
be turned off and back on.
DANGER
Do not turn the main power switch off while the
grill is hot.
Bypass Mode
The bypass may be used if there is a power failure,
or the grill is accidentally turned off, or anytime
you need to restart the grill and it is still hot.
The bypass mode should only be used if the grill
has been off less than 3-4 minutes. This method
is used to bypass the normal startup mode and
get the grill cooking again quickly. The burner
must still be hot enough to ignite new pellets
or this method will not work. In order to initiate
the bypass mode you must first select the cook
setting you want. At this point the digital readout
will display “START”. Simply press the green
bypass button in and hold it for 3 seconds. The
digital readout will display “BPASS”. Release the
green button and the grill will go into the cook
mode and the digital readout will display the
grill temperature. If the grill fails to ignite using
the bypass mode then restart the grill using the
normal startup procedures.
Meat Probes
This smoker has built in meat probes to measure
the temperature of the food as it is being cooked.
To use these probes insert the wire through the
stainless flaps on the side of the firebox. Insert the
probes into the food. Plug the connectors into the
receptacles on the front of the control panel. When
you press the probe temp button on the front of the
controller the digital readout will display the food
temperature. Press the button a second time to
toggle the display to the other probe. Press the
button a third time to toggle back to the cooking
temperature. If the probes are not installed
correctly or there is an error with the probes the
digital readout will display “PRERR” when the
probe temp button is pressed. When running the
probe wires to the food make sure it is positioned
out of direct contact with any open flame or
damage may occur. The digital readout will display
a “X” in front of the number when displaying the
“X” meat probe temperature and a “Y” for the “Y”
meat probe temperature. Example: “X155F”
