Bypass Mode for Hot Restarts: Occasionally, it will happen -
you have a power failure while the grill is in use, or someone
accidentally turns the grill off, or you under-cook something and
want to resume cooking for a little longer. Use this method if you
still have some fire left in the firebox, which is usually no longer
than about 6-7 minutes later. If you have run the “FAN MODE” for
more than about 3-4 minutes, this will not work.
If the power switch is off, push it to the ON position. When the
digital readout displays “OFF”, hold down the DOWN button for
approximately 8 seconds, or until the digital readout displays a
temperature.
Now adjust the temperature to your desired setting. If you do
nothing, the grill will go to the default temperature of 150°F (66°C).
Fan-Only Mode: You should use the “FAN” state each time you
finish cooking. To do this, simply hold down the “Down” button
until the digital readout displays 150°F (66°C) Release it and then
press once more – the readout will display “FAN.” The hopper fan
and combustion fans will continue to blow for about fifteen minutes.
This will burn up most of the pellets in the firebox and will exhaust
some of the ash into the bottom of the cooker cavity. The fans will
turn off automatically. The display will read OFF. You may turn off
the switch at this time, but you do not have to. The LED’s use very
little electricity, and they rarely burn out, so it will not hurt to leave
them on.
Recommendation: when cooking at temps above 375, operate
the grill at 150 for several minutes before going into fan only mode.
Because we know that you will use the grill in a variety of
weather conditions, we tend to overshoot the initial default
temperature of 150° F by 20-25 degrees on warm days. We
do this so that it does not take interminably long on a cold day
to reach its target temperature. The grill will eventually cool
back down to 150° on its own, or you may speed the process
by simply opening the lid to let out excess heat.
Once your outside temperatures drop below 35°F (2°C), the
Turbo mode kicks in to accelerate the volume of pellets and air
so that you do not have to wait so long for the grill to heat up
as you otherwise would without it.
If you wish to cook at a different temperature, just push the
button underneath the up or down arrows to set your target
temp. It will change 5° each time you push it, or, if you hold it
down, it will cycle continuously up or down.
You can set the grill as low as 150° (66°C) or as high as 500°
(260°C). You may change the temperature any time after
State 3 expires.
The grill temperature will climb fairly rapidly. The temperature,
however, falls much more slowly. This is because we must
keep the fire going at all costs, which results in a fairly slow fall
in inside temperature. Here, too, you can speed the process
by opening the lid to let excess heat escape.
