UNDERSTANDING THE DIGITAL CONTROL CENTER
This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) control is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The main
advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types.
IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments calibrated
together may not agree with each other.
CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
Press the Power Button to power on the unit, which begins the automatic start-up cycle. Also used to turn
the unit off, activating the cool-down cycle.
Press and hold the Prime Button to activate an extra feed of pellets to the burn grate. This can be used to
add more fuel to the fire before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery time. It can also be
used while smoking, to increase the intensity of clean smoke flavor. Requested from competition cookers.
The Temperature Adjust Arrows allows you to set your desired smoking temperature. By pressing the UP
or DOWN arrows, the temperature displayed on the LED read-out can be adjusted by 5 degree increments.
The temperature can be set to a low 82°C / 180°F, and peaks at a high of 315°C /600°F. Also used to adjust the
desired temperature of the meat probe.
The LED Screen is used as the information center for your unit. The LED screen will display your Desired Cook
Temperature (Setpoint), Actual Cook Temperature, Meat Probe Temperature (if connected), and any error
messages. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Press the Temp Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the ACTUAL temperature or the SETPOINT
temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate which temperature
is presently being displayed.
Press the Probe Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the GRILL temperature or the MEAT probe
temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate which probe
temperature is presently being displayed.
The plug-in connection port on the front of the Digital Control Center is for a Meat Probe.
When the meat probe is connected, the temperature is displayed on the LED Screen. When
not in use, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port. Includes one (1) meat probe.
Compatible with Louisiana Grills branded meat probes only.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES
GRILL PROBE
•
The grill probe measures the internal temperature of the main grill. When the grill temperature is adjusted, the grill probe
will read the actual (current) temperature inside the grill to adjust to the desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly dependent on ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets
used, flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.
