Adjustable Parameter 1: Min Feed Rate – Set point LED light flashes. Min Feed Rate is the minimum
rate that the auger is allowed to feed fuel to the fire pot, regardless of Set Point. Decreasing the value will
allow the grill to achieve lower temperatures but will increase the risk of flameouts. Increasing the value
will pre- vent losing fire but will limit your ability to maintain low temperatures on hot, sunny days.
Additionally, the current auger minimum feed rate will be displayed as a number. Pressing Temp Up will
increase and pressing Temp Down will decrease the value within the range of 3.0 - 25.
Adjustable Parameter 2: Temperature Offset – Actual LED light flashes. Your grill has been precisely
calibrated at our facility, but the Temperature Offset allows you to customize how your controller will
operate. The current temperature offset percentage value will be displayed. Pressing Temp Up will increase
and pressing Temp Down will decrease the value within the range of -20 to 20. (Factory preset: 0)
Adjustable Parameter 3: Food Probe Temperature Offset- Meet LED light flashes. Pressing Temp Up will
increase and pressing Temp Down will decrease the value within the range of -10ºF∼10ºF Pressing and
holding Temp Display button will exit Parameter adjusting status.
