It is important to allow your grill to preheat and achieve your desired cooking
temperature before cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly
return to your desired temperature once your food is introduced.
If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will nd that it takes
a longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to
your desired cooking temperature.
REC TEC GRILLS’ Ultimate Blend premium hardwood pellets contain
approximately 8,200 BTUs of heat per pound and have less than 1% ash
residue. Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet pellets will swell and
turn back into sawdust. For best results, always use premium
hardwood pellets in your grill.
The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in
temperature variations, uneven cooking, and poor results. Remember pellets
do not contain preservatives and will deteriorate over time.
Always cook with the lid closed. An open lid allows heat to escape, sends
false temperature information to your Smart Grill Technology™ processor,
hinders the REC TEC’s natural convection air ow, and lengthens cooking time.
Cooking with the lid closed keeps the temperature even and cooks food faster.
A closed lid also helps to enhance the avor prole of your food by infusing
smoke from the pellet avor you selected into your food.
Caution: Some wood pellets produced for
heating fuel have a high content of softwood
which can include pitch, and should NOT be
used for cooking. Always check with the pellet
manufacturer to ensure that you are cooking
with a premium 100% hardwood pellet.
• Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function. It is
advised to clean before any long cook.
Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions
• Always use grill on a level surface.
• Check and clean re pot regularly; this will ensure proper ignition and
heat output.
