Move the Controller Knob over the Actual temperature and press the Controller Knob up or down to access

the Smoker sub-screen. PID Mode is the default and regular mode of operation. This allows the Grill Probe

(temperature sensor) to control how much fuel is required to attain and maintain the desired Set temperature.

The advantage of this cooking method is the ability to maintain the Set temperature by reducing the swings

caused by external temperature and user interactions (with the smoker). The temperature range is 54-215°C/130-

420°F, at 5 degree increments.

Move the Controller Knob over the Actual temperature and press the Controller Knob up or down to access the

Smoker sub-screen. In the sub-screen, choose Smoke Mode. Selecting Smoke Mode allows the user to directly

control the cycle rate of pellets that feed the burn pot. In Smoke Mode, the auger can run a manual cooking

mode based on the P Setting value selected if the Set temperature is 65°C/150°F, or it can run the predefined

auger values for other Set temperatures above 65°C/150°F. The default P Setting value is P-4. On this setting,

the smoker will feed pellets for 18 seconds and pause for 115 seconds. In most instances, you will want to keep

the P Setting on the default.

• Raising the P Setting to P-5, P-6, or P-7 increases the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn

pot. A higher P Setting is useful in warmer or hot environments that want to hot smoke but the ambient

outdoor temperature amplifies the cooking temperature inside the smoker. Note: Monitor your burn pot

closely, as raising the P Setting too high or too quickly may cause the fire to die out completely.

• Lowering the P Setting to P-3, P-2, P-1, or P-0 will decrease the pause time between each feeding of pellets to

the burn pot. A lower P Setting is used to compensate for cooler temperatures where the ambient outdoor

temperature reduces or weakens the intensity of heat produced inside the smoker. Lowering the P Setting

can also minimize temperature swings in varying outdoor weather conditions.

For the best smoke flavor, set your smoke temperature below 121°C/250°F and choose the P Setting from the

Settings menu. The temperature range is 54-215°C/130-420°F, at 5 degree increments.
