SAFETY INFORMATION

MAJOR CAUSES OF APPLIANCE FIRES ARE A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE AND A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS PRODUCT BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new wood pellet grill. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS

You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.

1.A minimum clearance of 457mm (17.9 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 457mm (17.9 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. This wood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill off and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Do not unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.

2.Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water source.

3.After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions and the hopper for air blockage. Clean before use. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water does not get into the hopper. You must always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.

Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.

4.It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue.

5.To prevent injury or damage to the auger, the appliance features a metal hopper safety screen. This screen must not be removed unless directed by Customer Service or an authorized dealer.

This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.

6.Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.

7.Do not enlarge burn grate orifices, igniter holes or burn pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.

8.Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

WOOD PELLET FUEL

This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural wood pellets, designed for burning in pellet barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives.

Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.

At this time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.

Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area, and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

CREOSOTE

Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: incorrect position of the burn grate, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.

It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit off, let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.

If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

•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 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.

SAFETY LISTING

In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in the UL SUBJECT 2728-2009 "pellet fuel cooking appliances" and ULC/ORD C272 and CANADIAN CSA C22.2 #3 "for electrical features of fuel burning equipment." Louisiana Grills pellet cooking appliances have been independently tested and listed by INTERTEK (an accredited testing laboratory) to ETL, UL, ULC and CSA standards.

15. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
	15

•STANDARD OUTLET

This appliance requires 110 volt, 60hz, 375w, 5 amp service. It must be a 3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before use. The control uses a 5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.

•GFCI OUTLETS

This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During the start-up phase, the igniter draws 300-700 watts of electricity which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. The quality of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; each time it trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.

•ON THE ROAD

Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual start-up procedure. A Louisiana Grills unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt POSITIVE WAVE LENGTH inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt POSITIVE WAVE LENGTH inverter.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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. As a pellet grill uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.

GRILL ENVIRONMENT

1. WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRILL

With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed to perfect your meals. The Louisiana Grills unit, because of its single wall construction, should be considered as a three season grill, depending on where you live. Extreme cold weather conditions may affect maximal temperature output.

All Louisiana Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 457mm (17.9 inches) from combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. To effectively assist your grill in achieving proper temperature output, maintain heat retention, and heat recovery time when the lid is open, it is recommended to shelter your unit from the wind. In addition, adjusting the positioning of your grill by rotating a quarter turn – keeping the air exhaust holes (vents) out of the wind – will result in better temperature control and output.

2. COLD WEATHER COOKING

As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of smoked foods will help cure your winter blues.

Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:

•If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.

•Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!

•To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.

•In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.

•Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be flexible with your serving time; add about 10 – 15 minutes extra cooking time each time you open the lid.

•Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.

•Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey. Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.

3.HOT WEATHER COOKING

As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease.

Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:

•Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.

•Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat from over cooking and drying out.

•Even in hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.

•You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

14

GRILL TEMPERATURE RANGES

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the dome thermometer. All temperatures listed below are approximate and are 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.

•HIGH TEMPERATURE (205-315°C / 401-599°F)

This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the flame broiler (slide plate) for indirect or direct flame cooking. With the flame broiler open, direct flame is used to create those “blue” steaks, as well as flamekissed vegetables, garlic toast or s’mores! When the flame broiler is closed, the air circulates around the barrel, resulting in convection heat. High temperature is also used to preheat your grill, burn-off the cooking grids, and to achieve high heat in extreme cold weather conditions.

•MEDIUM TEMPERATURE (135-180°C / 275-356°F)

This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing off that slow smoked creation. Cooking at these temperatures will greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Ensure that the flame broiler slider in the closed position, covering the slotted openings. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.

•LOW TEMPERATURE (80-125°C / 176-257°F)

This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more smoke flavor and keep your meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known as low and slow). Highly recommended for the big turkey at Thanksgiving, juicy ham at Easter, or the huge holiday feast. Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing, and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill.

•Hot smoking, another name for low and slow cooking, is generally done at 80-125°C / 176-257°F. Hot smoking works best when longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.

TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to a low temperature range immediately after preheating your grill. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meats.

The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect!

UNDERSTANDING AIRFLOW AND THE AUGER FEED SYSTEM

The heart of your grill lies in the relationship between the fan-forced convection airflow and the functionality of the auger feed system. The combustion/cooling fan blows air through the system, allowing the hot igniter air to light the pellets and catch fire in the burn grate. The auger feed system will continue to cycle on and off, feeding pellets to the burn grate.

To ensure the combustion air holes (airflow) in the burn grate are not clogged, proper maintenance and cleaning of this area is essential. If the grill is not achieving the desired temperature, check to ensure the burn grate holes are clear.

TIP: The grill can run efficiently over extended periods of time as long as there is dry and sufficient fuel, proper airflow, and the cooking components are clean.

The unique design of the Louisiana Grills airflow system allows the majority of fly ash to be directed toward the bottom of the barrel, while directing the fan-forced convection heat to circulate around the main grill barrel.

This type of airflow allows for different quality of pellets to be used while reducing the possibility of fuel blockage and jams in the auger feed system.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIGITAL CONTROL CENTER

This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) control is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The main advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types.

IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments calibrated together may not agree with each other.

ENGLISH

CONTROL DESCRIPTION

Press the Power Button to power on the unit, which begins the automatic start-up cycle. Also used to turn the unit off, activating the cool-down cycle.

Press and hold the Prime Button to activate an extra feed of pellets to the burn grate. This can be used to add more fuel to the fire before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery time. It can also be used while smoking, to increase the intensity of clean smoke flavor. Requested from competition cookers.

The Temperature Adjust Arrows allows you to set your desired smoking temperature. By pressing the UP or DOWN arrows, the temperature displayed on the LED read-out can be adjusted by 5 degree increments. The temperature can be set to a low 82°C / 180°F, and peaks at a high of 315°C /600°F. Also used to adjust the desired temperature of the meat probe.

The LED Screen is used as the information center for your unit. The LED screen will display your Desired Cook Temperature (Setpoint), Actual Cook Temperature, Meat Probe Temperature (if connected), and any error messages. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Press the Temp Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the ACTUAL temperature or the SETPOINT temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate which temperature is presently being displayed.

Press the Probe Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the GRILL temperature or the MEAT probe temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate which probe temperature is presently being displayed.

The plug-in connection port on the front of the Digital Control Center is for a Meat Probe. When the meat probe is connected, the temperature is displayed on the LED Screen. When not in use, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port. Includes one (1) meat probe. Compatible with Louisiana Grills branded meat probes only.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES

•GRILL PROBE

The grill probe measures the internal temperature of the main grill. When the grill temperature is adjusted, the grill probe will read the actual (current) temperature inside the grill to adjust to the desired temperature.

IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly dependent on ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used, flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.

16

To adjust the SETPOINT temperature of the grill, press the PROBE button to indicate that the GRILL probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the SETPOINT temperature is selected, and press the UP or DOWN Temperature Adjust Arrows, adjusting by five degree increments, to your desired temperature.

To view the ACTUAL temperature of the grill, press the PROBE button to indicate that the GRILL probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the ACTUAL temperature is selected, and displayed on the LED screen.

•MEAT PROBE (PROGRAMMABLE)

The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat on the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the adapter to the meat probe connection port and insert the stainless steel meat probe into the thickest portion of your meat. Not only will it cook the meat to your desired temperature, but it will automatically reduce your grill temperature to low (82°C / 180°F) to keep food warm until ready to serve. Just set it, then relax while the probe does the rest!

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 grill, the top of the main grill (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.

To adjust the SETPOINT temperature of the meat probe, press the PROBE button to indicate that the MEAT probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the SETPOINT temperature is selected, and press the UP or DOWN Temperature Adjust Arrows, adjusting by five degree increments, to your desired temperature of your meat when done.

To view the ACTUAL temperature of the meat probe, press the PROBE button to indicate that the MEAT probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the ACTUAL temperature is selected, and displayed on the LED screen.

TIP: Based on how long you will be away from the grill, set your desired temperature 10 to 15 degrees below your liking, as the food will continue to rise in temperature somewhat, as the grill cools, and idles at the lowest temperature. Ensure it is inserted all the way into the plug, you will feel and hear it snap in place.

SET-UP PROCEDURE

These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited (after grill burn-off), and after every few uses, to ensure proper ignition:

1.Remove all cooking components, and the burn grate, from the interior of the grill. Inspect the burn pot to ensure it is clear of debris. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the feed system or hopper.

2.Replace the burn grate into the burn pot. Ensure the hole in the burn grate is facing the igniter to light the pellets, and the lip of the burn grate should be flush with the top of the burn pot.

3.Re-install the cooking components into grill. The grill is now ready to use.

FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF

Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start the grill and operate at high heat (over 233°C / 451°F) with the lid down for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.

PREHEATING

It is important to allow your grill to preheat before every cook session. This allows the grill and cooking grids to heat up quicker, kill off bacteria and other pathogens leftover from past grill sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its cooking temperature once your food is placed in the cooking area. Preheat with the lid closed.

IMPORTANT: The outdoor ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of wood pellets will all affect your cooking temperature. Observe the time it takes to reach your desired temperature, and adjust the cooking time as needed.

ENGLISH

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1.Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the burn grate to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.

2.With the barrel lid closed, turn the unit on by pressing the Power Button. This will activate the start-up cycle :the feed system will begin to turn, the fan will start, and the igniter will begin to get hot. The grill will produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The pellets will have successfully ignited once the smoke has cleared. The start-up cycle lasts until the appliance reaches an minimum temperature of 65°C / 150°F or the igniter times out (10 minutes).

3.Preheat your grill. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the setpoint temperature is displayed, and press the Temperature Adjust Arrows to a minimum of 121°C / 250°F for 20 minutes.

4.After preheating is complete, set your desired temperature to start grilling!

NOTE: When reducing your temperature, open the grill lid until the ACTUAL temperature is relatively close to your desired temperature.

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE

If for any reason your electric igniter fails, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.

1.Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from inside the main barrel. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the burn grate, and return into correct positioning. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be extremely hot.

2.Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Check the following:

•Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for heat.

•Visually confirm that the igniter is aligned with the hole in the burn grate, and open to light the pellets.

•Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn grate.

•Confirm that the combustion fan is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for airflow.

3.If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions.

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1.Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.

2.Open the main barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn grate. Check the burn grate to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition and that it is positioned properly. Place two (2) generous handfuls of pellets into the burn grate. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another small amount of pellets over the burn grate.

IMPORTANT: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill. Also, do not attempt to add more fire starter into a fire that is already burning or into a hot burn grate. This may cause injury.

3.Light the contents of the burn grate using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn grate. This can cause injury.

4.Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the grill, and close the grill lid. Continue start-up by following steps two through four of Automatic Start-Up Procedure.

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

1.When finished cooking, close the main barrel lid. Let your grill run for five to ten minutes to go through its natural cleaning method of a burn-off. If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the grill to burn-off for an extra ten minutes. This will reduce the chance of causing a grease fire for the next start-up.

2.Once the burn-off is complete, keep the main barrel lid closed and press the Power Button to turn the unit off. This will activate the automatic cool-down cycle. The feed system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete. When the cycle is complete, the fan will turn off.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Any Louisiana Grills unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing the grill and cooking grids to self-clean by running the grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:

1.	HOPPER ASSEMBLY
	•	Quick part checks ensure that all hopper electrical components continue to function properly. Once the hopper access
		panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), confirm that the igniter is free of debris or blockages. Also	ENGLISH
		check to ensure the four set screws are snug, keeping the igniter straight and centered in the stainless steel casing.
	•	Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vents, found on the exterior front and back sides of the hopper.
		Carefully, wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
2.	PROBES
	•	Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
	•	Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
		internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
3.	INSIDE SURFACES
	•	It is recommended to clean your burn grate after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
		build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
	•	Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do
		this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
		components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,
		keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the
		grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
	•	Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
		IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.
4.	OUTSIDE SURFACES
	•	Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
		cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. Wiping all stainless steel surfaces will prevent dirt,
		dust and oil from cooking into the metal surface and causing discoloration during use.
	•	Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
		outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.

USING WOOD PELLET FUEL

They appear 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; however, there is nothing small about the heat or flavor in barbecue wood pellet fuel. These clean-burning barbecue wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content (5-7%), and are carbon neutral.

Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being 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 cut, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged for consumer use. Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area.

HICKORY BLEND

Rich, smoky bacon-like flavor. Considered the “Kings of the Woods”

PECAN BLEND

Smoky, bacon-like flavor. Similar to Hickory, but less strong.

APPLE BLEND

Smoky, mild sweetness flavor. Highly recommended for baking.

MESQUITE BLEND

Strong, tangy, spicy flavor. Think Tex-Mex cuisine.

CHERRY BLEND

Slightly sweet, but also tart. Gives a rosy tint to light meals.

WHISKEY BARREL BLEND

Strong, sweet smoke with aromatic tang. Perfect for red meats.

COMPETITION BLEND

Perfect blend of sweet, savory, and tart. Used by many professional grillers.

NOTE: Always store wood pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact or exposure to moisture will result in lower heat output or cause the pellets to swell and break apart. Use a moisture proof, resealable tub or bucket for proper storage.

COOKING GUIDELINES

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. Practice makes perfect.

The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after smoke ring) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.

TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the protein.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Louisiana Grills owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to become more familiar with your grill:

1. FOOD SAFETY

• Keep everything in the kitchen and cooking area clean. Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination of bacteria. Each marinade or basting sauce should have its own utensil.

ENGLISH	•	Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below 3ºC / 37ºF).
	•	A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure
		to bring it to a boil before serving.
	•	Cooked foods should not be left out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration
		for more than two hours.
	•	Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria
		can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting
		any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.
	2. COOKING PREPARATION
	•	When switching from a high temperature to a low temperature, lift the lid and leave it open until the actual
		temperature is close to your desired temperature. This speeds up the process and ensures the fire will not go out.
	•	Be prepared, or Mise en Place. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all
		ingredients you require at grill side before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before
		lighting the grill.
	•	A barbecue floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a barbecue floor mat would
		protect a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.
	3. GRILLING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
	•	To infuse more smoke flavor into your meats, cook longer and at lower temperatures (also known as low and slow).
		Meat will close its fibers after it reaches an internal temperature of 49ºC / 120ºF. Misting, or mopping, are great ways
		to keep meat from drying out.
	•	While searing your meats, cook with the lid down. Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal
		temperature of the foods you are cooking. Smoking foods with hardwood pellets will turn meats and poultry pink.
		The band of pink (after cooking) is referred to as a smoke ring and is highly prized by outdoor chefs.
	•	Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.
	•	Leave open space between the foods and the extremities of the barrel for proper heat flow. Food on a crowded grill
		will require more cooking time.
	•	Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing
		utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape.
	•	Foods in deep casserole dishes will require more time to cook than a shallow baking pan.
	•	It’s a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and
		roasts, benefit from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface
		by heat to ease back to the center of the meat, adding more flavor.

Warranty does not cover damage from wear and tear, such as scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor cosmetic cracks. These aesthetic changes of the grill do not affect its performance. Repair or replacement of any part does not extend past the limited warranty.

During the term of the warranty, Dansons’ obligation shall be limited to furnishing a replacement for defective and/or failed components.

ENGLISH

Dansons takes every precaution to utilize materials that resist rust. Even with these safeguards, the protective coatings can be compromised by various substances and conditions beyond Dansons’ control. High temperatures, excessive humidity, chlorine, industrial fumes, fertilizers, lawn pesticides and salt are some of the substances that can affect metal coatings. For these reasons, the warranty does not cover rust or oxidization, unless there is loss of structural integrity on the grill component. Should any of the above occur, kindly refer to the care and maintenance section to prolong the lifespan of your unit. Dansons recommends the use of a grill cover when the grill is not in use.

This warranty is based on normal domestic use and service of the grill, and neither limited warranty coverage’s apply for a grill which is used in commercial applications.

EXCEPTIONS

There is no written or implied performance warranty on Louisiana Grills units, as the manufacturer has no control over the installation, operation, cleaning, maintenance or the type of fuel burned. This warranty will not apply nor will Dansons assume responsibility if your appliance has not been installed, operated, cleaned and maintained in strict accordance with this owner’s manual. Burning other than quality wood pellets may void the warranty. The warranty does not cover damage or breakage due to misuse, improper handling or modifications.

Neither Dansons, or authorized Louisiana Grills dealer, accepts responsibility, legal or otherwise, for the incidental or consequential damage to the property or persons resulting from the use of this product. Whether a claim is made against Dansons based on the breach of this warranty or any other type of warranty expressed or implied by law, the manufacturer shall in no event be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or other damages of any nature whatsoever in excess of the original purchase of this product. All warranties by manufacturer are set forth herein and no claim shall be made against manufacturer on any warranty or representation.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations of implied warranties, so the limitations or exclusions set forth in this limited warranty may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state.

RECIPES

CLASSIC BRISKET

Makes 4 - 6 Servings

A whole beef brisket weighs 7.25-3.62 kg / 16-18 pounds and has three separate parts: the cap, the point, and the flat. Use the flat section, as it is lean, compact, and creates nice slices when carved.

Ingredients:

1	Beef Brisket
	2.2-3.6 kg / 5-8 lbs,
	Layer of fat is at least 0.6 cm / ¼” thick
1 bottle	Prepared Yellow Mustard
75 ml / 5 tbsp	Seasoning
1 bottle	Chili Sauce
1 pack	Dry Onion Soup Mix
375 ml / 1 1 c.	Beef Broth
40 ml / 8 tsp	Black Pepper

Suggested Wood Pellet Flavor: Hickory / Competition

Instructions:

1.Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on your working station. Large enough to encase the brisket. Using a sharp knife, cut a single cut on the underside of the brisket against the grain. This will aid in slicing the finished brisket, against the grain which results in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth cut. The underside is the non-fat cap side. Slather on a generous amount of prepared mustard. Rub lightly onto the entire area. Sprinkle a generous amount of seasoning onto the mustard, then again light rub into the meat. Flip the brisket over and repeat the process. Wrap the prepared brisket in the plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours, or overnight.

2.Prepare the basting mixture. Mix the chili sauce, dry onion soup mix, beef broth, and black pepper. Set aside.

3.Preheat grill, then reduce to low temperature of 82°C / 180°F.

4.Place the brisket, fat side up, in the center of the grill. Close the grill lid. Cook low and slow until tender, about 10 to 12 hours.

5.Baste the brisket with the basting mixture every half hour for the first 3 hours.

6.Continue the slow cooking process until the internal temperature reaches 60-66°C / 140-150°F. Remove from grill. Turn grill up to

176°C / 350°F.

7.Place the brisket into a pouch of double-layered aluminum foil. Pour 50 ml / ¼ cup of basting mixture over the brisket in the pouch. Close the pouch shut.

8.Lay foil pouch carefully on the grill. Steam for 1 to 1 ½ hours.

9.Open the pouch, and use a meat thermometer; internal temperature should reach 77°C / 170°F. The brisket should be firm but be able to pull the meat apart with your fingers.

10.Transfer the meat to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain to serve.

SAUSAGE WITH MANGO CHUTNEY

Makes 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients:
2	Mangoes (finely chopped)
0.9 kg / 2 lbs	Italian Sausage (hot or mild)
10 ml / 2 tsp	Fresh Parsley (minced)
15 ml / 1 tbsp	Red Pepper (diced)
10 ml / 2 tsp	Honey

½Red Onion (diced)

½ bulb	Fennel (diced)
5 ml / 1 tsp	Lime Juice
Pinch	Salt

Suggested Wood Pellet Flavor: Hickory / Competition

Instructions:

1.Preheat grill, then reduce to low or medium temperature of 82-107°C / 180-225°F.

2.Place sausages on grill, spaced evenly apart. Rotate every ten minutes so all sides are grilled.

3.Combine all remaining ingredients to make the chutney. Chill until ready to serve.

4.Slice grilled sausage diagonally, then serve with side of chutney.

BLUE CHEESE STEAK

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients:
4	Steak, T-bone or Rib-Eye
	2.54cm / 1” thick
	0.28-0.62 kg / 10-12 ounces each
113 g / 4 oz.	Blue Cheese (crumbled)
50 ml / ¼ c.	Green Onion (thinly sliced)

Suggested Wood Pellet Flavor: Hickory / Competition / Whiskey

Instructions:

1.Preheat grill, then leave or reduce slightly to 204-260°C / 400-500°F.

2.Trim excess fat from meat and discard.

3.Place steaks on grill. Sear each side, flipping every few minutes.

4.Reduce heat to medium temperature of 135-163°C / 275325°F. Flip the steaks a final time. Combine blue cheese and onions. Sprinkle over steaks, close grill lid, and grill until desired doneness. Check doneness by cutting a slit in meat near the bone.

Variation: REVERSE-SEAR METHOD

Reduce grill to a low temperature of 82°C / 180°F, then place steaks on grill. Smoke for 5 to 15 minutes. Once smoked to desired doneness, turn grill up to a high temperature of 204-260°C / 400-500°F and sear to your liking.
