Rec Tec Pellet Grill
Owner’s Manual and User’s Guide
Congratulations on your purchase of a Rec Tec Pellet Grill. With proper care and maintenance, your
grill will provide you years of trouble free operation. Please review the following information carefully
for useful tips and information that will help you utilize your grill’s extensive features and benefits.
Keep in mind that your Rec Tec Pellet Grill is much more than a grill. Your Rec Tec’s revolutionary
Smart Grill Technology™ automatically adjusts the rate at which Rec Tec Premium Hardwood
Pellets are introduced into the fire pot to maintain a consistent temperature like no other grill you
have ever used. The result is the simplest and most convenient way for a backyard enthusiast to
Cook, Bake, Roast, Grill or Slow Smoke their favorite foods while adding flavor profiles that can
only come from a real wood fire. Just set your temperature and let your Rec Tec take all the guess
work out of your next cookout.
To see our favorite recipes and cooking tips, visit www.RecTecGrills.com. As you become familiar
with your Rec Tec, you will find that indoor cooking becomes the exception and not the rule in your
house. With the ability to easily cook foods to standards that meet or exceed restaurant quality, you
will find yourself not wanting to go to restaurants and pay for food that does not live up to the Rec
Tec standards of flavor. Also, don’t be alarmed when your neighbors call and ask if you will ‘Rec
Tec’ some meat for them. This is a common occurrence among Rec Tec owners.
Thank you for choosing to purchase a Rec Tec Pellet Grill!

Important Safety
Information
Warning: Read all Safety Information Before
Operating Grill
For outdoor use only. Do not use in any enclosed area.
Keep grill 24” or more from any combustible surface.
To prevent grease fires, clean your grill on a regular basis (especially after
cooking greasy foods at lower temperatures). This includes your drip tray
(most owners line the drip tray with aluminum foil for easy clean up). Also
make sure that your grease drain is not on an uphill slope (most decks and
patios slope away from the house). In the event of a grease fire, turn off the
grill, 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 without the service access panels located under
the shelf and on the rear installed.
Keep side shelf louvers clear of obstructions to maintain a cool shelf
surface and ensure the longevity of your Smart Grill™ Processor.
Occasionally, your Rec Tec Grill should be checked for fire pot obstructions
to make sure proper air flow is maintained. See cleaning instructions in this
manual for correct procedures.
Your Rec Tec gets very hot; keep young children away while in use.
Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating this unit.
Do not move your Rec Tec Grill while operating or while the grill is hot.
Make sure the fire is completely out and that the grill is completely cold
before transporting the grill.
Your Rec Tec can become top heavy when the pellet hopper is full. You
should never try to move your Rec Tec with a full hopper.
Never put your hand in the pellet hopper or attempt to service any part of
your Rec Tec Grill while your grill is plugged in.
