For outdoor use only. Do not use in any enclosed area. Use on Level Surface, away from overhanging eaves.

Keep grill 60” or more from any combustible surface.

To prevent grease fires, clean your fire pot and drip pan on a regular basis (es

peciall

y after cooking greasy foods at lower temperatures). In the event

of a grease fire, unplug the grill and leave lid closed until the fire is out.

Do not put anything flammable in the storage area under the grill.

Never plug-in your REC TEC STAMPEDE without the service access panels locat

ed under the controller installed.

Never put your grill in a vehicle without first ensuring that it is completely cool and that

no hot embers, pellets or ashes remain in the fire pot or auger.

Occasionally, your REC TEC STAMPEDE should be checked for fire pot obst

ructions to make sure proper air flow is maintained. See cleaning in-

structions in this manual for correct procedures.

Your REC TEC STAMPEDE gets very hot; keep young children and animals a

way while in use.

Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating this unit. Long handled, non-plast

ic utensils are also recommended.

Do not touch cooking chamber or attempt to move your REC TEC STAMPEDE while operating

or while the grill is hot. Make sure the fire is com-

pletely out and that the grill is completely cool before transporting the grill.

Before covering your grill, make sure that the grill has cooled completely.

Never put your hand in the pellet hopper or attempt to service any part of your REC T

EC STAMPEDE while your grill is plugged in.

Initial Setup Procedure

For your first lighting, follow this Initial Setup Procedure.

Before starting your REC TEC STAMPEDE, inspect the burn area inside the grilling area. It is a recommended practice to go through the following procedure at initial start up.

1. Open the main lid and remove the stainless steel cooking grate, drip pan, and flame deflector. Make sure all packing material has been removed.

2. Open the pellet hopper lid found on the left side of your grill and check for any foreign objects.

3. Plug your REC TEC STAMPEDE into the nearest 110 Volt AC GFCI outlet. (Note: If your home does not have a GFCI outlet, you should have one installed by an electrician.)

4. Put no more than 1/2 cup of pellets directly into the fire pot to provide fuel to burn while auger tube self-primes.

5. Pour pellets into your grill’s pellet hopper.

6. Wash cooking grate with mild soap and water.

7. Reinstall the stainless steel flame deflector, drip pan, cooking grate, and close lid.

Tip: If you want to line your drip pan with foil for ease of cleanup, we recommend you do this

before your initial burn in. When lining drip pan, keep foil inside drip pan edges and do not wrap around as this can restrict airflow.

8. Turn on your REC TEC STAMPEDE by pressing the power button at the left of the panel. Set temperature to 400ºF by turning temperature control knob.

9. Within a few minutes you will see smoke, and your grill will light.

10. Once grill achieves 400ºF, allow it to run for 1 hour, this will provide a final cure and remove any residue that may have accumulated during manufacturing and shipping.

After this initial burn, your grill is ready for cooking.

Temperature Probes

Plug your temperature probes into the grill’s controller probe ports A and B.

Feed probes through the probe port hole on the left side of g rill cooking chamber.

Insert probes into thickest portion of meat for most accurate reading.

See page 20 for USDA saftey guidelines.

Unplugging probes and cleaning with damp cloth will prolong the life and accuracy of your probes.

Reinstalling rubber protectors over connection ports on controller after each cook will prolong the life and quality of your controller.

DO NOT FULLY SUBMERGE PROBES IN WATER OR WASH IN DISHWASHER!

Preheating(

It is important to allow your grill to preheat and achieve your desired cooking temperature before cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature once your food is introduced. If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to your desired cooking temperature.(

Pellet Information(

REC TEC GRILLS Ultimate Blend premium hardwood pellets contain approximately 8,200 BTU’s of heat per pound and have less than 1% ash residue. Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet

pellets will swell and turn back into sawdust. For best results, always use premium hardwood pellets in your grill. The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in temperature variations, uneven cooking, and poor results. Remember pellets do not contain preserva-

tives and will deteriorate over time.

Caution: Some wood pellets produced for heating fuel have a high content of softwood which can include pitch, and should not be used for cooking. Always check with the pellet manufacturer to ensure that you are cooking with a premium 100% hardwood pellet.

Lid Position!

Always cook with the lid closed. An open lid allows heat to escape, sends false temperature information to your Smart Grill Technology™ processor, hinders the REC TEC’s natural convection air flow, and lengthens cooking time. Cooking with the lid closed keeps the temperature even and cooks food faster. A closed lid also helps to enhance the flavor profile of your food by infusing smoke from the pellet flavor you selected into your food.

Tips and Tricks

Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function. It is advised to clean before any long cook. (See page 13 for cleaning instruction)

Always use grill on a level surface.

Check and clean fire pot regularly; this will ensure proper ignition and heat output.

Not all pellets are created equal, always use dry and fresh pellets.

Always store pellets in a dry area.

Get to know your grill, keep good cooking notes. This will help with consistency.

Practice makes perfect.

Always allow your meat to rest before serving.



PQGR9D(/$T(7$T(1#O+'K%U$'D(;;=

Page 16

Always keep your cooking area clean.

Avoid lifting the lid more than necessary.

Wind can cool your grill temperature.

Always preheat grill to desired temperature before use.

Wipe off stainless steel surfaces before preheating; dirt and food stains can cook into surface.

Always check pellet hopper for debris and remove excess pellet dust as needed. (A shop-vac is the preferred method)

Leave at least one inch of clearance between food for even cooks. (Crowded foods will take longer to cook)

Foods cooked on pans or in containers will require more time than foods cooked directly on grate. This also limits the amount of wood smoked flavor.

Use the REC TEC GRILLS Bullpen Instant Read Thermometer to determine meat-doneness, never rely on time.

Know your food’s internal temp!

Use long handled tongs and spatulas for turning meats, do not use plastic utensils.

Injecting, mopping, and spritzing are great ways to keep meat from drying out.

When going low and slow, plan for your meats stall, larger pieces of meat tend to take longer from 160-180 degrees. Be patient.

Never unplug your grill to turn it off; for proper shutdown see “Power Button” on page 9.

If grill is not used for six weeks or more, it is advised to remove all pellets from hopper.

When not in use, unplug and cover with REC TEC GRILLS Premium Grill Cover.

Temps!

Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red meats -

including pork - can be pink, even when the meat has reached a safe internal temperature.

After you remove the meat from your grill, allow it to rest for a specified amount of time. During the rest

time, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful bacteria.

• Hot foods should be held warmer than 140º F.

• Cold foods should be held below 40º F.

• Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature - 1 hour when the

temperature is above 90º F.

• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA.

See page 20 for USDA safety guidelines.

A few simple steps will ensure that your REC TEC STAMPEDE will give you many years of service with minimal effort.

• Clean your fire pot every 3-5 cooks to ensure proper airflow.

• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grate after every cook to provide years of trouble free use from them. NOTE: Make sure that no bristles have shed and remain on cooking grate.

• Cover your drip tray with aluminum foil and change it frequently. This is the simplest way to maintain your drip pan. If you have completed a low and slow cook that has caused the accumu-

lation of grease on your foil, you must change the foil before cooking at high temperatures. Failure to do so will most certainly cause a grease fire in your grill.

• Clean the ash from the interior of your grill, fire pot, and hopper every 5-6 bags of pellets. It helps to leave a thin layer of ash on the bottom of the barrel for insulation. (A shop vac is the ideal tool

for this job.) (WARNING–always wait at least 12 hours after cooking to remove ash from

your grill.)

• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill. AVOID USING CAUSTIC CLEANERS.

• If left in exposed area, keep your grill covered and unplugged when not in use.

• Never let your pellets get wet; they will swell and jam your auger.

• If grill will not be in use for 6 weeks or more, cleaning out pellets from your hopper is recommended.

• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean your grill’s outside surfaces (when completely cooled) and then use automotive wax, per the directions.

7%*#'VL%K(](9KL%*X$(

Ensure that the unit is cool. Remove the grates, drip pan and flame deflector. Make sure no unburnt fuel remains in the fire pot / air chamber.

STORE COVERED IN A DRY, SAFE PLACE



Never store the grill in a small space or place in a vehicle

unless completely cool and ﬁre is veriﬁed as extinguished.

Never move the grill while it is still hot.

Never move the grill without assistance.

Manual Start Up:

In case of ignitor failure, you can start your REC TEC STAMPEDE manually:

1. Remove the stainless steel grate, drip pan and flame deflector.

2. Clean out fire pot and place no more than 1/2 cup of pellets in the bottom. Add a small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood shavings. (A paper towel, shredded cardboard, or shredded newspaper can work as a substitute.)

If you have a torch lighter, a fire starter is not needed.

3. Light the fire starter.

4. After the pellets are burning briskly, turn on your grill. If your fire goes out, repeat steps 1-4.

5. If your fire stays lit, replace the stainless flame deflector, drip pan and cooking grate and close the lid. Be careful not to touch the fire.
