You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,
to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill
being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power
cord. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved
fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur,call the Fire Department.
Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that
the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.
This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction
by a person responsible for their safety.
SAFETY INFORMATION
MAJOR CAUSES OF APPLIANCE FIRES ARE A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE AND A FAILURE TO
MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
THATTHISPRODUCTBEUSEDONLYINACCORDANCETOTHE FOLLOWINGINSTRUCTIONS.
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure
you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new wood pellet grill. We also advise you retain this manual
for future reference.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
1.
A minimum clearance of 915mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 915mm
(36 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on
combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are
obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors, in an enclosed or unventilated area,
inside homes,
vehicles, tents, garages. This wood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible
ceiling or overhang.
Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vaporsandliquids.
2.
Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water
source.
3.
After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and
any air blockage around the fan intake or chimney. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to
prolong the lifespan of your unit. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity,
care should be taken to insure that water does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high humidity, wood
pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing
any service or maintenance.
4.
It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not
specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area
under the barbecue.
5.
To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is
equipped with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless
directed by Customer Service or an authorizeddealer.

Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by
burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural, no blend pure wood. Any other type of fuel
burned in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural wood pellets, designed for
burning in pellet
barbecue grills. Do not use fuel withadditives.
At the time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards
tomakewoodpelletsfordomesticuse. Furtherinformation,canbefoundatwww.pelletheat.orgorthePelletFuelInstitute.

CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot
or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and
maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF,
let it cool completely,then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.
Ifcreosotehasformedwithintheunit;allowtheunittowarmupatalowtemperature,turnofftheappliance,thenwipeaway
any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon
monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygenlevels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless
gas from poisoning you, your family, orothers:
•
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
•
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

11.
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
NOTE: Before plugging your ASMOKE into any electrical outlet, ensure
the temperature dial is in the OFF position.
•
STANDARD OUTLET
•
This appliance requires 110 volt, 60hz, 255w, 5 amp service. It
must be a 3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not
broken off before use. The control uses a 5 amp, 120 volt,
fast-blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.
•
GFCI OUTLETS
•
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a
recommended size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is
highly sensitive to power surges, it will likely trip during the
start-up phase of operation. During the start-up phase, the
10

11
•
igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity which can be too
much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. Each time it trips, it
increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
•
ON THE ROAD
•
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the
manual COLD WEATHER COOKING
•
start-up procedure. A ASMOKE unit can operate using a 12 volt,
100 watt inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use
the automatic igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a
1000 watt inverter.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat
intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling. As a pellet
grill uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.
Throughoutthis manual, you will notice the emphasis on grillingfood slowly at LOW or MEDIUM temperature settings.
GRILL ENVIRONMENT
1. WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRILL
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time
needed to perfect your meals.
All ASMOKE units should keep a minimum clearance of 915mm (36 inches)
from combustible constructions, and this clearance
must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must
not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible
materials, gasolineandotherflammablevaporsandliquids.
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of
smoked foods will help cure your winterblues.
Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:
•
If smoking at low temperaturesfails,increasethe temperature slightly to achieve the sameresults.
•
Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your
grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in
relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
•
Tohelp keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log
or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to
help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
•
In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.
•
Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be
flexible with your serving time; add extra cooking time each time you open the lid.
•
Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
•
Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey.
Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.
2. HOT WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease.
Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:

•
Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
•
Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat
from over cooking and drying out.
•
Even in hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.
•
You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up
newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.
GRILL TEMPERATURE RANGES
Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the thermometer. All temperatures listed below
are approximate and are 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.
•
MEDIUM TEMPERATURE (135-180°C /275-356°F)
This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing off that slow smoked creation. Cooking at these temperatures will
greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Ensure that the flame broiler slider in the closed position, covering the
slotted openings. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.
12
•
HIGH TEMPERATURE (205-260°C / 401-500°F)
This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the flame broiler (slide plate) for indirect or
direct flame cooking. With the flame broiler open, direct flame is used to create those “blue” steaks, as well as flame-
kissedvegetables,garlictoastors’mores!Whenthe flamebroilerisclosed,theaircirculatesaround thebarrel,resulting
in convection heat. High temperature is also used to preheat your grill, burn-off the cooking grids, and to achieve high heat
in extreme cold weather conditions.
•
LOW TEMPERATURE (80-125°C / 176-257°F)
This range is used to slow roast, increase smokyflavor,and to keep foods warm. Infuse moresmoke flavor and keep your
meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known as low and slow). Highly recommended for the big turkey
at Thanksgiving, juicy ham at Easter, or the huge holiday feast.
Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill. Hot smoking,
another name for low and slow cooking, is generally done between 80-125°C / 176-257°F. Hot smoking works best when
longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.
TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to SMOKE (low) temperature range immediately after putting your food
on the grill. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meats.
The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs
preferto smokeat the end of a cook,allowing the foodto keepwarmuntilreadytoserve.Practicemakesperfect!

UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES
•
TEMPERATURE PROBE
Locatedinsidethemainbarrel,ontheleftsidewall,isthetemperatureprobe.Itisasmall,verticalpieceof stainlesssteel.The
temperature probe measures the internal temperature of the unit. When the temperature is adjusted on the Control Board, the
temperature probe will read the actual temperatureinside the unit and adjust to the desiredtemperature.
IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly affected by ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used,
flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.
•
MEAT PROBE
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat in the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the meat
probeadaptertothemeatprobe connectionportontheControlBoardandinsertthestainlesssteelmeatprobeintothe
thickest portion of your meat and the temperature will be displayed on the control board. Toensure the meat probe is
connected properly to the connection port, feel and hear it snap into place.
NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct
contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the hole
located on the left side of the main grill or the top of the main grill (near the grill lid hinge). When not in use,
disconnect from the meat probe connection port and place aside to keep protected and clean.
UNDERSTANDING THE "P" SETTING
The main benefit to the "P" SET (setting) button is that it allows the cook to have fine tuned control of their grill in SMOKE mode,
to compensate for ambient temperature, humidity, wind, environmental changes, pellet fuel type and quality.
When the "P" SET button is pushed, the “P” setting displayed on the LCD screen will change to the next value (upward). Once P7
is reached, it will restart at P0. There are eight “P” settings, ranging from P0 to P7.
USING THE "P" SETTING IN SMOKE MODE

•
MORE SMOKE FLAVOR, LESS HEAT
(↑ “P” SETTING / ↓ FUEL FEED)
When hot smoking – increasing the infusion of more natural wood flavor –
increase the "P" setting to allow for longer cycles between auger feeds. This
results in keeping a lower temperature output, which increases cook time (also
known as low and slow), a deeper smoke ring and more smoke flavor. Care
mustbetakenwhenusingthe higher"P"settings,suchasP6orP7,asthiscould
result in the fire going out in the fire pot.
•
LESS SMOKE FLAVOR, MORE HEAT
(↓ “P” SETTING / ↑ FUEL FEED)
A lower "P" setting will result in a higher grill temperature output and higher
pellet consumption due to more frequent cycles.
HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE

Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel. The grill is now ready to use.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off.
Start the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill
and rid it of any foreign matter.
AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Plug the power cord into a groundedpower source. Open the main barrel lid. Checkthe fire pot to ensure there is no
obstruction for properignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensurethere are no foreign objects in the hopper orauger feed
system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural no blend barbecue wood pellets.
2.
Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will
activatethestart-upcycle.Theaugerfeedsystemwillbegintoturn,theigniterwillbegintoglowandthefanwillsupply
air to the fire pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid must remain
open during the start-up cycle. Toconfirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some
heat being produced.
3.
Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your
desired temperature!
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps, or
start your grill using the manual method.
1.
EnsuretheTemperatureControlDialisintheSMOKEposition.Openthe barrellid.Removethecookingcomponents
from inside. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the fire pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be
extremely hot.
2.
Onceall cookingcomponentsare removedand cleaned,press thePowerButtontoturntheuniton.Checkthefollowing:
•
Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the fire pot and feeling for heat.
•
Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the fire pot.
•
Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the fire pot.
•
Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.
3.
If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions.

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
2.
Check fire pot to ensure there isno obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign
objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill hopper with dry,all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
3.
Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the fire pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into the
fire pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of solid
fuel fire starter,such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another small
amount of pellets in the firepot.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
4.
Light the contents of the fire pot using a long matchor long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the fire pot. This can cause injury.
5.
Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the main barrel. Continue start-up at step two of
Automatic Start-Up Procedure.
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
1. When finished cooking, keep the Main Barrel lid OPENING, press and hold the Power Button to turn the unit off.
This will activate the automatic cool-down cycle. The feed system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out,
and the fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is completed. Once the cool-down cycle is complete,
the fan will turn off then close the Main Barrel lid.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1.
HOPPER ASSEMBLY
•
The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of cleaning and change out
of pellet fuel flavors. Toempty,locate the plate and the coverof the dropchute on
the back sideof the hopper. Place a clean, emptypail under the drop chutecover, then
removethecoverpiece.Unscrewtheplate,slideoutwards,andpelletswillempty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets,
sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
•
Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if your grill will be unused for an extended period of time.

•
Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, foundon the bottom of the hopper.Once the hopper access
panel is removed(see Electric WireDiagramfordiagram), carefullywipeoffanygreasebuild-up directly on the fan
blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.

Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do. Simply
insert a disposable foil bucket liner into your grill's grease bucket, then toss when full. It's ready to catch
your grill's grease and oil run off for easy clean up and maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.
4.
OUTSIDE SURFACES
•
Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do
not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill
surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under warranty, but rather are
part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking
of the finish,all paintedsurfacescan be touchedup usinghighheat BBQ paint.

COOKING GUIDELINES
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different resultsbased on time and temperature. For best results, keep a
record of what you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time.
Practice makes perfect.
The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after smoke
ring) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.
TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into
the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 minutes,
depending on the size of the protein.
