Manual Start Up
If for any reason your electric igniter fails, you can start your “Louisiana Grill” manually.
Remove the cast iron grills, and the “Grillmate” or “Flavor Guard”. You will also have to
remove the Stainless Steel flame deflector.
Inspect the stainless steel burn pot to ensure that is clean of debris and that the ignitor air
holes are not obstructed. Also check to ensure proper placement of the burn grate.
Place a small handful of pellets in the bottom of the burn grate.
Add a small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or
use wood shavings. Add a small amount of pellets over the fire starter.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH A GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LATERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START
OR FRESHEN-UP THE FIRE! KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE GRILL
WHILE IT IS IN USE.
Light the fire starter.
Place COOKING MODE SWITCH to the COOK position.
Turn the FEED CONTROL (temperature output) to the IGNITE position.
Press the START BUTTON.
• This initiates the start up cycle, which includes; the auger will start to turn, the ignitor
indicator will light and the combustion fan will start.
• The grill now has 30 minutes to produce heat before it will shut down automatically.
• The ignitor indicator will turn off automatically when you’re the temperature sensor
switch reaches 120ºF or 30 minutes.
Quickly and carefully, replace the stainless steel flame deflector, the “Grillmate” or “Flavor Enhancer”
and the cast iron cooking grills. Your grill will begin to produce smoke while the start up cycle is
taking place. Close the lid.
The grill is operational once the smoke as cleared. To check open the lid of your grill and a
flame reflection will be visible in the burn pot area. You will be able to view this without
having to touch any hot surfaces.
Turn the FUEL FEED to PREHEAT
and allow unit to preheat at 500 to 600ºF for approximately
10 minutes.
CAUTION: If excessive flame is visible i.e. FLAME DEFLECTOR is glowing bright red, turn the
FEED CONTROL down.
NOTE: If the fire does not start, the Grill will continue to feed pellets and the fan will run for
approximately 30 minutes. The grill will then automatically shut off. If this happens, some
unburned pellets will build up in the burn grate. To restart the fire, clean the excess pellets
out of the burn grate and follow the above steps.

Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a
wood pellet grill. There are two types of smoking: HOT smoking and COLD smoking. HOT
smoking, just another name for barbecuing, is generally done at 200 to 250ºF. COLD smoking
is where the food is located so far away from the fire that it smokes without cooking. Your
“Louisiana Grill” is classified as a HOT smoker.
TIP: To intensive that savory smoke flavor, switch to smoke mode
immediately after putting your food on the grill. This allows the smoke to
penetrate the meats before they have a chance to sear closed.
The smoke mode works best when a longer cooking time is required,
such as large cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, Experiment with the length of time you leave for
smoking, before cooking thoroughly. Try different combinations of both modes. Some chefs
prefer the smoke mode at the end of cooking and to keep the food warm until ready for
serving. Remember practice makes perfect.
TO ACTIVATE
Follow the standard LIGHTING
PROCEDURES.
After the start up cycle is complete, and
you have gone through the preheat cycle, activate the smoke mode by clicking the COOKING
MODE SWITCH to the SMOKE position. The SMOKE control switch will always override the
normal FEED CONTROL.
When finished using the smoking mode click the COOKING MODE SWITCH back to the COOK
mode.

Your “Louisiana Grill” , “Grill Mate” and the “Flavor Guard” cooking grids will give
you many years of flavourful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing
the grill and cooking grates to “Self Clean” by running the grill on high temperature for 5 – 10
minutes after each use.
Deactivate the SMOKE mode by switching the COOKING MODE SWITCH back to COOK mode.
When finished cooking on your Louisiana Grill turn the FEED CONTROL switch to the high
position. Let your grill run for 5 – 10 minutes to go through its normal cleaning method.
When complete, rotate the FEED CONTROL (temperature) switch fully counter-clockwise. You
will hear it click at the off position.
Once the FEED CONTROL is in the OFF position, your Louisiana Grill will start it’s SHUT
DOWN cycle. The AUGER will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn itself out, and the
combustion fan will continue to run until the grill has cooled to 110ºF.
