Once your auger has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-
off to burn-off any foreign matter on the grill.
1. Follow Regular Use instructions (below) up to Step 2 to turn the unit on.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Follow Shut-down instructions to turn the unit off or proceed with grilling at your desired temperature.
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results
based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what
you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the re-
sults. Adjust to your taste for the next time.
The cooking temperature is affected by the following factors:
outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind,
the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid being opened, and the
quantity of food being cooked.
Follow these steps for regular use of your grill:
1. Confirm the auger is primed. If not, follow the auger priming
instruction section.
2. Insert a charged battery pack into the battery port. Turn on the
power master switch. (A)
3. Unlock the grill lid latches. Open the grill lid. (B)
4. Open the hopper lid to check the hopper level. Fill, if needed, with
dry Pit Boss
All Natural Barbecue Hardwood Pellets and close the
®
hopper lid. (C)
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to SMOKE (D). This will activate
the start-up cycle:
•
The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will begin
to glow, and the fan will supply air to the burn pot.
The grill lid must remain open during the start-up cycle.
•
The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle
is taking place (E). To confirm the start-up cycle has begun
properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being
produced.
6. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is
complete. Close the grill lid. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to
your desired temperature and start grilling! (F)
