Burner Assembly (31) will be mounted to the Grill, but is not shown in the diagram
below for clarity.

2) Use the Black Bolts, Washers and Nuts (see Detail “A”) supplied in the Hardware Kit

(145) to install the Legs (122) on the left end of the Grill and the Wheel Legs (127)
on the right end as shown in the diagram below. The Acorn Nuts (133) on the Wheel
Legs (127) should go toward the center of the Grill. Leave the Nuts loose during
this step.

3) Set the Grill upright to level and then tighten all Nuts.

ATTACHING THE CHROME DOOR HANDLE:

1) Insert the threaded studs on the Chrome Door Handle (164) through the slots in the
Door (102).

ATTACHING THE SMOKE STACK AND CHIMNEY CAP ASSEMBLY:

1) Align the holes in the Smoke Stack (136) with the holes in the Smoke Stack Gasket
(144), which fits between right end of the Grill and the Smoke Stack (136).

2) Place Zinc Flat Washers on two of the 1/2” long Hex Head Bolts and insert the Bolts
through the holes in the Smoke Stack (136) and the Smoke Stack Gasket (144).

each Bolt inside the Grill and secure with Hex Nuts using the Wrench supplied.

Stack. Hand tighten.

NOTE: If at this point you are ready to start your Grill, refer to the INITIAL FIRING

PELLET HOPPER, before proceeding with further assembly.

POSITIONING THE HEAT BAFFLE:

Position The Heat Baffle (157) directly over the Firepot (72) on the locating brackets
located on the inside walls of the Grill. The notched legs of the Heat Baffle (157) should
be facing downward to fit onto the locating brackets.

POSITIONING THE GREASE DRAIN PAN:

RECOMMENDATION for ease of clean-up: Line the Grease Drain Pan (161) with
heavy-duty aluminum foil. Be sure the edges and ends of the foil are tight against
the bottom of the Grease Drain Pan (161).

Position the Grease Drain Pan (161) so that the Short Lip end hooks over the Grease
Drain Pan Support on the left side of the Grill. The Long Lip end should rest in the
V-Shaped Grease Drain (23) located inside the Grill on the right.

POSITIONING THE PORCELAIN GRILL:

Position the Porcelain Grill (166) on the Grill Supports that run the length of the
cooking area.

HANGING THE GREASE BUCKET:

Locate the Grease Drain Tube, extending from the Grill below the Smoke Stack (136)
on the right end. Hang the Grease Bucket (135) on the Bucket Hook.
