and press to confirm. The SMOKE SETTING can be adjusted
from 1-10. A smoke setting of 1 will produce less smoke and
maintain a more even temperature. As the smoke setting is
increased more smoke will be produced. Note that as the smoke
setting is increased temperature fluctuations will increase.
BREAKING IN THE GRILL
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour before
cooking on the grill for the first time. This will burn off any
manufacturing oils and cure the paint. Make sure to follow the
instructions for filling the auger tube before breaking in the grill.
WARNING
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid must be
closed after the start cycle.
COOKING
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you can begin
cooking by selecting SET TEMP from the main menu and
setting the desired temperature. Upon confirming the set
temperature the grill will go into the Startup mode. The control
will display START during the startup cycle. After 6 minutes the
control panel will change to the temperature display screen.
WARNING
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding pellets into the burner
prior to startup. If flame is inadvertently extinguished never
restart the grill without first cleaning out the burner. Improper
use can cause an uncontrolled fire.
DIRECT FLAME MODE
Pull grill knob out all the way to allow direct heat as shown in
Fig 21. Best for burgers and steaks.
Fig. 21
WARNING
Always clean grease tray to remove excess grease drippings
prior to cooking in Direct Flame Mode. A dirty grease tray
may result in excessive flare ups or grease fire. If grease fire
does occur, turn off grill using the main power switch and
close the lid. Leave the lid closed until fire is extinguished. If
an uncontrollable fire does occur, immediately call local fire
department. Never put water on the fire.
INDIRECT FLAME MODE
Push grill knob in all the way for indirect heat as shown in Fig
22. Best for chicken, slow smoking and low temps.

SHUTDOWN
When you are done cooking select SHUTDOWN from the main
menu. The display screen will display SHUTDOWN. In this
setting the fan will remain on for 20 minutes to finish burning
any pellets in the burner and cool the grill down. After 20
minutes the display screen will turn off. At this point the main
power switch should be switched to off. Before grill can be used,
the power switch must be turned off and back on.
BYPASS MODE
The bypass may be used if there is a power failure, or the grill is
accidentally turned off, or anytime you need to restart the grill
and it is still hot. The bypass mode should only be used if the
grill has been off less than 3-4 minutes. This method is used to
bypass the normal startup mode and get the grill cooking again
quickly. The burner must still be hot enough to ignite new pellets
or this method will not work. BYPASS can be selected during
the initial startup of the grill only by selecting BYPASS from the
STARTUP screen. If the grill fails to ignite using the bypass mode
then restart the grill using the normal startup procedures.
MEAT PROBES
This smoker has built in meat probes to measure the
temperature of the food as it is being cooked. To use these
probes insert the wire through the stainless flaps on the
side of the firebox. Insert the probes into the food. Plug the
connectors into the receptacles on the side of the control panel.
If the probes are not installed correctly or the probe is bad no
temperature will display.
