This manual describes the Green Mountain Grills (GMG) Ledge & Peak Prime Wood Fired Pellet Grill, an 8-in-1 outdoor cooking appliance designed for versatility and ease of use. The grill is capable of grilling, smoking, slow-cooking, barbecuing, braising, roasting, baking, and searing, all at the touch of a button. It is an electric appliance that uses food-safe hardwood pellets as fuel.
The GMG pellet grill operates on a 12V Direct Power design, featuring a micro-adjusted variable speed fan and auger motor. This system ensures precise temperature control, greater fuel economy, and reduced waste. Pellets are fed from the hopper by an auger into a firebox, where an igniter automatically lights them. A combustion fan provides oxygen to sustain the fire. The Venturi-Style firebox design, with vertical vents, creates a burn pot cyclone of airflow for maximum heat distribution and complete combustion. A heat shield covers the firebox, distributing heat evenly throughout the convection-style grill chamber. A thermal sensor inside the grill sends data to the on-board computer ten times per second, allowing the digital controller to adjust air and pellet flow to maintain the set temperature.
The grill features a digital controller with a readout display for temperature and status codes. It includes signal indicator lights, temperature up and down controls (in 5-degree increments), and buttons to toggle between probe temperature and grill temperature, as well as between two meat probes. A Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle is also available. The On/Off button controls the start/stop of the grill program, while a separate power switch controls the electrical power to the grill. Two food probe connections and a WiFi antenna connection are provided for smart control.
The startup cycle involves several stages:
The grill is equipped with a hydraulic opening lid, internal grill lights, stainless steel top and bottom grates, side shelves, safe locking lid fasteners, and brake, turn, and tail light signals for the trailer rig. A grease drip bucket collects drippings. The pellet hopper has a large capacity, and a pellet hopper window allows monitoring of pellet levels. A fold-out step provides access, and an accessory product power outlet and USB plug-in offer additional functionality.
For remote operation, the grill can be controlled via a remote control or a cell phone application. Users must ensure all safety precautions are observed and a responsible adult is in close proximity to the grill when operating remotely.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the grill's performance and safety.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the grill not turning on, not reaching temperature, erratic temperature, smoke coming out of the hopper, loud clicking sounds from the auger, and ignition failures (FAL message). It emphasizes the importance of ensuring proper heat shield placement and checking for obstructions in the auger and burn pot. For any issues, users are advised to contact technical support.
