Your Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill combines many unique features with time proven pellet-burning technology. Together they give you perfect control, quick, savoury-and absolutely fool proof cooking results every time.

The perfect barbeque experience starts with filling your hopper with all natural wood pellets. Pushing the Start Button activates the “Electronic Auto Igniter”, the combustion fan, and the auger feed systems.

The auger delivers the pellets to the burn grate. Your Louisiana Grill uses “Top Feed” technology which means the auger pushes the wood pellets up above the burn pot area and then the pellets fall down a chute in to the burn area. The top of the auger is an open design, thus reducing the possibilities of “auger jams” and allows for the use of less than premium fuel quality. Adjusting the temperature control switch sets the speed of the auger and the temperature output. The “Electronic Auto Igniter" activates for approximately 30 minutes, or until an operating temperature of 120º F is reached, igniting the pellets in the burn pot. A fan provides combustion air to the burn grate as well as causes air movement in the cooking area, resulting in convection cooking. The fuel burns in the burn grate, hot and intense, somewhat like a forge. The fly ash is directed downward by the “Flame Deflector”, and can be cleaned out through the ash drawer. The “Flame Deflector” also protects the food from direct flame and distributes the heat evenly throughout the cooking area. The natural smoke flavour produced by the burning pellets, the smoke produced by the “Grillmate” or “Flavor Guard”, and the air circulating throughout the cooking area, combine to give you that savoury flavour that is unique to pellet grills and will win you rave reviews each time you use it.

Tip

Your Louisiana Grill can run efficiently over extended periods of time and at different heat output levels as long as the fuel supply is uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is performed.

STAIINNLLEESSSS SSTTEEEELL FFLLAAVVOORR GGUUAARRDDGGRRAATTEE

Your “Little Louie” or select “Kentwood” Louisiana Grill is equipped with a high temperature stainless steel “Flavor Guard” grate. This grate like device is installed above the burn pot and flame deflector, and is used to catch and vaporize the cooking juices. The “Flavor Guard” is constructed of five offset “V” shaped runners welded together to make a single piece. There are also two moveable pull-tabs installed to make removal easier. When properly installed, the pointed top of the “V” shaped runners and the two pull-tabs must point upward toward the cast iron cooking grills.

When the meat juices drip from the food onto the specially angled “Flavor Guard”, it creates the smoke that gives food that irresistible barbecued flavour. Thanks to the unique design of the “Flavor Guard”” and the flexible temperature controls, uncontrolled flare-ups are virtually eliminated, because you control the flames. There is no lava rock or brick to absorb excess fat drippings that can cause unwanted flare-ups. The “Flavor Guard” is rust resistant and easy to remove and clean.

FFLLAAMMEE DDEEFFLLEECCTTOORR

All “Louisiana Grill” models come with a stainless steel flame deflector and burn pot, designed to withstand high temperature and give years of performance. The flame deflector has been designed to keep the flame out of direct contact with your cooking surface, thus helping to reduce the chance of flare-ups. As well you will note the notches in the side of the deflectors; these are to help in distributing the heat evenly throughout the whole cooking area and right to the edges. The unique design of the deflector also directs the majority of fly ash down toward the ash pan,

BBUURRNN PPOOTT

The burn pot is also constructed out of stainless steel and is the heart of your grill. The burning temperature in the pot can reach temperatures of 1700 to 2000ºF. The air holes are designed to allow the right combination of fan forced air to force the wood pellets to burn hot and clean while grilling or allow them to smoulder and produce the savory smoke while in the smoke mode. The bottom is notched out to allow the pot to set over the electric igniter, allowing the heated air within the ignitor casing to heat up the pellets until they spontaneously combust.

CAST IRON COOKING GRILLS

Your Louisiana Grill comes complete with cast iron cooking grills. To maintain the excellent searing and grilling performance of your grills, as well as their longevity, some special care and maintenance is required. As with any cast iron cooking tools, PROPER SEANSONING is a must.

First time use

Before using any cast iron grill, wash it thoroughly with a mild dishwashing liquid to move the protective wax coating applied for shipping. Rinse with HOT water and dry completely with a soft cloth or paper towel. NEVER WASH IN A DISHWASHER, OR ALLOW THEM TO DRAIN DRY. Now you must season the grills to prevent rust and sticking.

How to “Season”

A solid vegetable shortening or olive oil is recommended for the initial seasoning.

1.Spread a thin coating of solid vegetable shortening or olive oil over the entire surface, including all corners, with a paper towel. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.

2.Preheat your Louisiana Grill for 15 minutes then place the coated grills in the barbecue.

3.Turn your heat setting to medium/ignite and close the lid.

4.Allow your Louisiana Grill to heat the cast iron grills for 1 to 1 ½ hours.

5.Turn off the Feed Rate/Temperature control and let your Louisiana Grill go through the SHUT DOWN cycle and cool completely.

6.Your cast iron grills are now “Seasoned” and ready for use.

Maintenance (every time you grill)

DO NOT do a prolong burn-off after you grill. Approximately 5 minutes will do, as this burn-off is required to help in the maintenance of the “Grillmate” cooking grates (not available on all models) Leaving the cooking residues on the cast iron grills does leave a protective coating on the iron. Then do a burn-off or a 10 – 15 minute preheat just before your next cook out. This will vaporize most everything on the grill, then brush off charred residues with a steel brush rather than a brass brush.

Rust

If rust does appear, it is an indication that the cast iron grills have not been seasoned properly or enough. Or, if the extended burn-off method has been used after grilling, the seasoning has also been burned off. You must begin the seasoning process again, after brushing all rust away with a steel wire brush

TIP

The more you use your Louisiana Grill and the cast iron grills, the easier the maintenance will be. If you store your cast iron grills for extended periods of time, grease them very lightly with vegetable shortening or olive oil, then wipe them dry with a paper towel. Store them in a dry place.

Select Louisiana Grills come complete with this unique stainless steel structure called “Grill Mate”, manufactured for us by Chef Tech LLC. This cooking grate delivers the ultimate control in cooking with either wood pellet or liquid propane. There are no lava rocks, bricks, or other material to absorb excess fat drippings that can cause unwanted flare-ups. Thanks to the unique design of “Grill Mate” and the flexible temperature control, uncontrolled flare-

ups are virtually eliminated, because YOU control the flames.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the “Grillmate” and what does it do?

The “Grillmate” is a unique stainless steel structure, which is coated with a specially designed catalyst, platinum. This structure intercepts the grease and other drippings from the food being grilled before it can reach the hot metal surfaces and burner pots below and result in a flare-up. The catalyst allows the unit to burn the grease at a lower temperature and thus generates smoke instead of flame.

What are the benefits of the “Grillmate”?

1.Eliminates flare-ups. When properly installed and maintained, the unit will virtually eliminate flare-ups.

2.Enhances the amount and quantity of smoke. The “Grillmate” creates smoke from the natural juices of the food being grilled. This results in that “smoked and savory” flavor.

3.Prevents food from drying out. Because the “Grillmate” eliminates flames and generates smoke and steam from the natural juices, the food does not dry out.

4.Improves heat distribution. The “Grillmate” is designed to distribute the heat output of the burner or burners, by evenly distributing the heat produced from the burn pot.

5.Improves heat response. The stainless steel construction of the “Grillmate” does not store excess heat; therefore, when the burner temperature is adjusted, the temperature at the grilling surface changes very quickly (usually within 90 seconds). This enhances your ability to sear the food then reduce the heat and grill it over a low heat.

6.Increases the life of the grill. The “Grillmate” reduces the amount of grease that reaches the burners and surrounding area by up to 75%. Grease and drippings are the primary reason for corrosion of the gas burners and grill body.

Do I need to Parboil really fatty foods?

No, simply put them on the grill and go! The “Grillmate” is specially designed to eliminate flare-ups so that no extra effort is required when cooking foods like bratwurst, Italian sausages, chicken legs and backs, or spare ribs. Just remember to grill on a lower setting.
