reach the burner. This is done by selecting FEED from the main
menu. This will turn the auger on and the controller will display
“FEED”. The auger will remain on for no more than 7 minutes.
This is ample time for the pellets to reach the burner. It is easiest
to open the burner clean-out by pulling the knob on the right
side of the grill. Once you hear pellets dropping into the cup you
can close the clean-out port by pushing the knob on the right
side of the grill and then select your cooking temperature. (Never
operate grill without the ash cup in place). Always make sure
the burner clean-out port is closed by pushing in the knob on the
right side of the grill before selecting any of the cook settings.
Never open the burner clean-out port when the grill is hot.

and cool down the grill. Do not turn the main power switch off
when the grill is hot.
FEED - Select FEED from the main menu. This setting is used to

the grill to fill the auger tube and any time you may inadvertently
run the hopper out of pellets. See instructions on filling the
auger tube.

increased more smoke will be produced. Note that as the smoke
setting is increased temperature fluctuations will increase.
BREAKING IN THE GRILL
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour before
cooking on the grill for the first time. This will burn off any
manufacturing oils and cure the paint. Make sure to follow the
instructions for filling the auger tube before breaking in the grill.
WARNING
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid must be
closed after the start cycle.
COOKING
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you can begin
cooking by selecting SET TEMP from the main menu and
setting the desired temperature. Upon confirming the set
temperature the grill will go into the Startup mode. The control
will display START during the startup cycle. After 6 minutes the
control panel will change to the temperature display screen.
WARNING
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding pellets into the burner
prior to startup. If flame is inadvertently extinguished never
restart the grill without first cleaning out the burner. Improper
use can cause an uncontrolled fire.
DIRECT FLAME MODE
Pull grill knob out all the way to allow direct heat as shown in
Fig 21. Best for burgers and steaks.
