WHY DOES MY GRILL OVERSHOOT THE
SET POINT / TEMPERATURE AT STARTUP?

into the firebox during the initial heat-up of the grill.Allow 20-30
minutes for the temperature to stabilize before placing food inside.
WHAT BRAND OF PELLETS ARE
RECOMMENDED TO USE IN MY GRILL?

maximum performance, consistency, and low ash from bag to bag.
Yoder Smokers uses them exclusively for all product testing and
development at the factory.
CAN I USE AN EXTENSION CORD?
Yes. Make sure it is a heavy-duty cord rated for outdoor use and
marked with the sux letter “W” as well as with a tag stating
“Suitable for use with outdoor appliances."
WHY DOES THE TEMPERATURE
FLUCTUATE ON MY GRILL?
You are cooking with a live, wood fire. As a result there will be
temperature swings — the grill will not hit your set point and remain
fixed. As pellets are added and burned, the temperature will go
above and below your set point. The ACS controller works to
maintain an average temperature over a span of time.

DIFFUSER/ACCESS DOOR BE REMOVED?

TO SEASON THE EXTERIOR OF THE GRILL?

degrees until the oil is absorbed into the paint completely.

pellets and lose your fire. First, inspect the firepot remove excess
ash or pellets. Select ‘Menu’, then scroll to ‘Reignite’.
