Dangers & Warnings

WARNING:

DO NOT over-fire your LG Elite 800 Pellet Smoker. Improper Use Can Cause Uncontrolled Fire.

FUEL—WOOD PELLETS

YOU MUST only use all natural wood bbq pellets, designed for burning in pellet bbq grills. Any other type of fuel burn in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing.

DO NOT usefuel labeled as having additives.

At this time of printing, there is no “Standard” for BBQ wood pellets, although most pellet mills do use the same

standards used to make “Home Heating” wood pellets. Further information on this “Standard” can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.

Check with your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area and for information on what can be expected from various brands.

NOTE: Since Dansons Inc.has no control over the quality of pellets, that you use, weassume no liability caused by the quality of fuel used.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.

CREOSOTE

DO NOT operate the appliance if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if theburn pot overfills with pellets.

Turn the unit OFF, let the appliance cool completely, and then inspect the unit. Soot or Creosote may accumulate in the main barrel and along any air leakage or exhaust areas when the appliance is operated under incorrect conditions, such as incorrect burn grate position, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, etc.

Soot or creosote is formed when pellets are burned without the correct amount of air to fuel or incomplete combustion,

thus producing a tar like substance and other organic vapours that combine with expelled moisture. The smoke will have a black color to it and the residue left behind on surfaces, will also be black in color.

When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and out of control fire, similar to a grease fire.

If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a LOW temperature, turn OFF the appliance, then

wipe out any formation with a hand towel. Creosote is similar to tar, when warmed it will become like liquid, and is much easier to clean in this state.

WARNING:

IF A UNCONTROLLED FIRE DOES OCCURE: CALL FIRE DEPARTMENT.

DO NOT try to move appliance. DO NOT try to smother the fire. DO NOT put water on the fire.

CARBON MONOXIDE: “The Silent Killer”

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES TO PREVENT THIS COLORLESS, ODORLESS GAS FROM POISONING YOU, YOUR FAMILY OR OTHERS:

Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: Headaches, 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 the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected to 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.

CAUTION!

To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger, your appliance has been equipped with a metal screen, mounted inside the hopper. This screen MUST NOT be removed unless directed by Dansons Customer Service or Authorized service personal.

TIP To aid in cleaning and reduce maintenance, line the grease drawer with foil, or a thin layer of sand.

FINAL INSPECTION AND CLEANING:

ALWAYS clean dirt, dust and oils from ALL stainless steel surfaces before you use the unit. This can cook into the metal and discolor it.

Using a soft cloth and hot soapy water, thoroughly clean all surfaces and ensure all screws are secure. Stainless Steel Cleaner and a soft rag can be used on all stainless surfaces.

HOOKING UP TO POWER:

AT HOME

This appliance requires 110 Volt, 60Hz, 5amp service.It must use a 3 prong grounded plug.

The “Digital Control Center” Oven Temp Control uses a 1 1/4” x 1/4”, 5 amp 110 volt to protect the board..

GFI Outlets

This appliance will work on most GFI Outlets. Recommended size 15 amp.

If your GFI outlet is highly sensitive to power surges, it will very likely trip during the ignition

phase of operation. During the ignition phase, the igniter is drawing 300—700 watts of electricity which can be too much power for a GFI outlet to handle. The quality of the GFI

does not matter, rather the sensitivity. Each time a GFI trips it does increase in sensitivity. Solution: 1. Install a brand new GFI .

2. Plug the appliance into a non-GFI outlet.

ON THE ROAD

By disconnecting the Igniter, from the main wiring harness, your grill can be run

using a 12 volt , 100 watt “POSITIVE WAVE LENGTH” inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. Then light your smoker using the manual method. (found in lighting instructions)

If you do want to continue to use the automatic igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt “POSITIVE WAVE LENGTH” inverter.

How Your LG Elite 800 Smoker Works 101

The perfect barbecue experience starts with filling your hopper (2) with all natural wood pellets.

Press the “START” touch pad (18), this activates the “Fan” (6) which is used to cool the hopper (2),

causes the pellets to burn (8) and results in convection cooking (14). It also activates the electronic Auto Igniter (7), and the pellet feed system (3,5).

A motorized Auger Motor (5) and Metal Auger Shaft (3), deliver the pellets to the burn grate (8). Your Country

Smoker uses “Top Feed” technology, which means the Auger (3,5) delivers the pellets up above the burn grate (8) and then the fuel drops into the burn grate. The strength of the auger motor (5), the metal shaft (3) and the open design reduce the possibilities of “jams” and allows for the use of less than premium quality fuel.

Adjusting the temperature setting on the “Digital Control Center” Board (18) sets the speed of the feed, thus the

temperature output. This control is fully adjustable, from hot smoke 180° F to 600° F searing and shows both “Desired” and “Actual” grill and meat probe temperature readings.

The “Electronic Auto Igniter” (7) activates until the unit reaches 150°F, igniting the pellets in the burn grate (8).

The Combustion / Cooling fan (6) cools the hopper (16); provides combustion air to the burn grate (8); and causes air movement in the cooking area (14), resulting in convection cooking.

The fuel burns in the burn grate (8) hot and intense, somewhat like a forge. The fly ash is directed downward by the “Arched Flame Broiler” (12) and can be cleaned out periodically from inside the bottom of the barrel.

A CLOSED “Arched Flame Broiler” (12) protects the food from direct contact with the flame; gives a large hot

metal area to help evaporate the juices back into the cooking resulting in added flavor; channels excess grease directly to a grease pail (11); and distributes the heat evenly throughout the cooking area.

The natural smoke flavor produced by the burning pellets, the “Arched Flame Broiler” (12) and the fan induced

“Convection Cooking” (14) combine to give you the savory flavor and even cooking that is unique to pellet grills and will win you rave reviews each time you use it.

TIP Your LG Elite 800 Series Pellet Grill can run efficiently over extended periods of time

and at different heat output levels, as long as the fuel supply is dry, the burn grate is seated correctly, and timely cleaning and maintenance is performed.

This control is very much the same as the control on your kitchen oven. The main advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types allowing for longer, carefree bbq as well as the Programmable Meat Probe function.

Remember: Much like your kitchen oven, the ACTUAL G 2 temperature does fluctuate up and down depending on

How the Board Works 101

START-UP mode

Allows electricity to flow to all the electrical components for 20 minutes. This is a software set program that will automatically start the combustion/cooling fan, the igniter and the feed system at a preset rate, until the grill probe reaches a temperature of 150°F. Once met, the igniter will shut off and the feed rate is controlled by the control board..

If for any reason the 150°F is not reached in 20 minutes, the control will turn OFF and an ER-2 will display on the screen.

SHUT DOWN mode

When finished “Savoring the Flavor”, simply push the OFF touch pad. The control will turn off only the feed system, allowing the fan to continue to run not only to burn out the fuel, clean and efficiently, but also to cool down the grill. When the grill probe reaches 130°F the control will shut off completely.

Fan Cooled Hopper

The entire line of LG Series Grills utilize the exact same hopper component parts.

To increase the life of your grill and its main working component parts the Combustion /

Cooling fan is used to perform 3 main functions:

1.Pressurize the internal hopper compartment to cool the wiring, electrical component parts and the wood pellets.

2.Forces constant air movement between the hopper and the grill barrel wall. Because of higher temperatures needed for searing and because of the longer length of time a pellet grill can operate, such as slow smoking a whole hog, air movement is used to provide an air barrier between the two surfaces.

Ensure the air slots found on the front and back of the hopper do not get blocked off, at any time.

3.To provide combustion air, allowing the pellet fuel to burn properly. The fan forced air is then used to provide “Convection Cooking” within the smoking grill.

Powder Coat Finish

Louisiana Grills uses a “High Heat Powder Coat” finish throughout the entire line of the smokers. This High Heat finish is rated for 1000°F. This is done to allow for easy and trouble free maintenance, and adding to the life of your smoking grill. Powder coating is environmentally friendly and produces an excellence and superiority of finish that customers count on. Maintaining the initial appearance of a powder coating is a simple matter. If the finish does scratch, or needs to be “freshenedup” it is important to use a touch-up paint ( High Heat BBQ) to repair it as soon as possible.

(see maintenance for further detail)

Grease Drawer

All LG Series Smokers use the “Arched Flame Broiler” system that channels any excess grease, that does not evaporate, directly to a sealed grease catch area. From here any excess grease is directed to the drop spout where it is disposed in, an easy to clean or replace, metal tray.

Allow the grease to cool before removing the drawer.

TIP: Line the grease drawer with foil or a thin layer of sand to aid in maintenance.

Hopper Screen

All LG Series use a metal screen, mounted inside the hopper, to protect fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the moving metal auger. This screen can not be removed unless directed by Dansons Customer Service or authorized service personal, to perform service work.

Arched Flame Broiler

All LG Series models come with a 14 gauge “Arched Flame Broiler”, designed to withstand high temperature and give years of performance. The Arched Flame Broiler, when closed, has been designed to keep the flame out of direct contact with your cooking surface, thus helping to reduce the chance of flare-ups. The arched design increases the amount of hot surface area to allow more fats and juices from the meats to evaporate a smoke flavor, back into meat. As well you will note the bent edges running down the length of the back and front of the angled, arched steel, these are to

Unique Feature help in channeling the excess grease directly to the one end of the smoker where it is then allowed to collect in a convenient removable pail. The unique design also directs the majority of fly ash down toward the bottom of the barrel, while allowing for the fan forced heated air to circulate around the barrel causing convection cooking.

Sliding the Flame Broiler OPEN allows for “Direct Flame” cooking and temperatures as high as 1000°F. This is used to “Flame Kiss” or broil steaks, roasts, or vegetables.

Automatic Igniter (#7)

The 300 watt electric igniter eliminates the need for messy starter fluids or gels. It is safe and easy to start, even the little beginner “Pit Master” can start a LG Series. The igniter is simply a hot rod encased in a stainless steel holder. This style of igniter has been used throughout the pellet stove industry for years. The combustion/cooling fan blows air into the back of the igniter assembly, surrounding the hot rod. Then the super heated air exits through the open end, near the back of the burn grate. As the pellets begin to heat up they eventually break out in flames, this is known as spontaneous combustion. The igniter will stay activated for 7-15 minutes.

If for any reason the igniter fails, you can start the grill manually.

NOTE: The igniter can be disconnected, to allow your LG Series smoker to run with a minimum 100 watt inverter. (see manual starting procedures, further in this manual.)

Burn Grate (#8)

The burn grate is constructed out of stainless steel and is the heart of your grill. The burning temperature in the grate can reach temperatures of 1700 to 2000°F. 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 smolder and produce the savory smoke while in the smoke temperature. The back of the burn grate has a large oblong hole in the back to allow the hot igniter air to come through, causing the pellets to catch fire.

NOTE: The burn grate should be checked after every MAJOR use to ensur e that the combustion air holes are not clogged and to ensure the igniter hole is clean.

Burn Pot (#9)

The burn pot is used to hold the Burn Grate, the igniter assembly, and to channel the fan forced combustion air. The pot has been designed to aid in cleaning and replacement of the igniter. It isveryimportant that the burn pot is seated and secured properly in order to ensure proper combustion and heat output.

Auger Feed System

The heart of the feed system is a time proven, metal auger (4) and high torque auger motor (5). This combination allows for different quality of pellet fuels to be used while reducing the possibilities of “jams” taking place. The metal auger design also helps in maintaining a constant and even feed of the fuel to the fire, resulting in better and consistent temperature control. The Auger Feed System is run by a 2 rpm motor. (see control board, Digital Control Center, for further information).

100% Natural Hardwood Wood BBQ Pellets

They are no thicker than the eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see them for the first time think they look like rabbit food, but there is nothing small about the heat energy or flavor in a wood pellet. These clean burning wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash (.3lb/40lb bag) and low moisture content (5-7%) and are “carbon neutral”.

Barbecue wood pellets are produced in the same matter as wood pellet fuel is produced for home heating, PFI Standard Premium Grade (see pelletheat.org). Pure raw material (sawdust) is pulverized with a hammer-mill and the material is pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced through the die it is sheared off at a specific maximum length, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged into 20 or 40 lb. bags.

BBQ wood pellets differ from smoking pellets, used in gas or propane grills, in that most bbq pellets are a combination of the main flavor and a neutral flavor. This is done because of the more intense flavor being generated when using pellets as your main fuel.

TIP Always store your pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact or exposure to

moisture. This will cause the pellets to absorb the moisture and will result in lower BTU output or cause the pellets to swell and break apart.

Use a moisture proof re-sealable tub or bucket.

Getting Started

Set Up Procedure

Please note that during shipping or moving around on your deck, some movement within the grill may have taken place, so a complete visual inspection is required. Please follow these Initial Set-Up procedures to ensure the proper and safe operation of your grill.

TIP It is a highly recommended practice to always go through these basic SET UP PROCEDURES, after every 1 to 2 cooking's. This will ensure proper ignition, heat output and many continuous happy grilling experiences.

Step 1

Open the SMOKER LID and remove the Cooking Grids (13).

Step 2

Remove the “Arched Flame Broiler” (12). Clean off any excess food drippings or grease build-up.

Step 3

Remove the Stainless Steel Burn Grate

(8) and inspect the Burn Pot (9). Remove any foreign items. Ensure that the air holes in the grate (8) and the Igniter (7) are clear of debris.

.

Step 4

Re-install the Burn Grate (8). Ensure that the stainless steel grate is sitting down and snug in the burn pot (9) and that the igniter is lined up properly with the hole in the burn grate. You may have to gently lift up or down on the igniter to align with the hole.

Step 5

Re-install the “Arched Flame Broiler” (12). The larger piece of the “Arch” should be facing upward and the flame slots close to the hopper end of the barrel. This then sits on the mounting bracket and grease divider plate. The slot hooks over the moveable hanging bracket found over the pellet fuel drop area. Ensure that this mounting bracket is snug against the barrel. The second piece of Flame Broiler then fits on the top of the first and then slide “Closed”.

Step 6

Re-install the Cooking Grids (13)

Step 7

Ensure the Grease Drawer (11) is installed, cleaned and ready to go.

Step 8

Open the Hopper Lid (1) and check for any foreign materials. Fill the hopper (2) with your choice of all natural wood pellet fuel.

Step 9

Plug it in. Start it up. Savor the Flavor !

Getting Started

With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling. Because a pellet grill uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, thus reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.

Throughout this manual you will notice the emphasis on grilling food slowly at MEDIUM (275—375°F) temperature settings. Because of the benefit of convection cooking and the use of the “Arched Flame Broiler”, your LG Series will enable you to avoid flare-ups and maximize the nutritional value of the foods that you cook.

Following is a list of the important tips that will contribute to the cooking perfection that you expect when using your LG Elite 800 Pellet Grill / Smoker.

Environment

As with all barbecues, the outside weather conditions will play a big part in the performance of your smoker and the cooking time needed to perfect your culinary delights. Your LG Smoker, because of its single wall construction, should be considered as a 2 to 3 season grill, depending on what part of the country you live in. For greater detail on grilling and weather conditions, see the “HOT and COLD” weather tips found further in this owners manual.

Grill Placement

All LG Grills should always be a minimum of 14 inches away from any wall behind the grill. Your grill does come with wheels or casters to make movement easier. If you are able to shelter your smoker from the wind, this will aid in temperature output, heat retention, and heat recovery time when opening the lid. Turning the smoker a 1/4 turn, keeping the smoke vent holes out of the wind, will result in better temperature output.

Operating the Grill

Initial Burn Off

Before cooking on your smoker / grill for the first time, we recommend that you “Burn Off” the grill to rid it of any foreign matter. Light and operate the grill on HIGH, or above 500°F, with the lid down, for 30—40 minutes.

Lighting your Grill

It is recommended practice to always go through the SET UP Procedures after every 1 to 2 uses. This will ensure proper ignition and many happy grilling experiences. Light as per instructions, found in this manual. If the grill fails to light, this is most likely due to a dirty or full burn grate blocking the auto igniter air passages. (refer to lighting instructions found elsewhere in this manual).

Should your auto igniter refuse to ignite the wood pellets, it is easy to light your grill manually with a match and lighting agent. (refer to manual lighting instructions found elsewhere in this manual).

Pre-Heating

It is extremely important to ALWAYS allow your grill to preheat, reach temperatures over 450°F for over 5 to 10 minutes, before cooking, each and every time. This allows thegrill and cooking grids to heat up quicker; it burns off any bacteria or foreign material left over; and grill is able to maintain its cooking temperature once your food is placed in the cooking area. When you do not take the time to PREHEAT, you will find that it takes a much longer period of time to bring both the grill and food to cooking temperature.

Always PREHEAT your smoker with the lid closed. Set your temperature control to 450°F, start your grill, and allow your grill to PREHEAT (450°F OR OVER) for 5 to 10 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to prepare your food for the grill, as well it is the final step in cleaning your cooking grids.

NOTE: After Pre-Heating is complete, set your desired cooking temperature, and leave your lid open until the actual temperature is close to your desire temperature.

Lid Position

Always cook with the lid closed. Not only does this keep the temperature even, the food will cook faster, and you will use less fuel by taking advantage of the fan forced convection cooking. A closed lid also helps to create that savory smokier flavor. You can slow down your cooking by propping up the lid using a grid lifter.

CAUTION: Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining your grill, or failing to clean the bottom of the barrel on a consistent basis. In the unlikely event you experience a grease fire while cooking, quickly remove any food items, then close the lid. If it does not go out in a very short time, open the lid and lightly sprinkle baking soda on the fire. Be careful not to burn yourself. If this does not work, then turn OFF the control board, to stop the pellets from feeding, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out.
