to mother and child during pregnancy,
infants, the elderly, pellet grills and
people with blood or circulatory
system problems, such as anemia, or
heart disease.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
CLEANING:
• Normal use will create a buildup of ash,
grease, and creosote inside the pellet
grill. The pellet grill must be thoroughly
cleaned after every 50 hours of use
or if a buildup of grease or creosote is
noticed inside the pellet grill.
• Clean the pellet grill by removing all
internal parts and thoroughly scrape
away all grease and creosote from all
internal surfaces, including the grease
drain, and remove debris from the
pellet grill.
• The drip tray must always be cleaned
prior to turning the pellet grill to high.
Excessive buildup of grease and
creosote may result in a grease fire.
If a grease fire does occur, turn off
the pellet grill using the main power
switch and close the lid. Leave the
lid closed until the fire extinguishes
itself. If an uncontrolled fire does
occur, immediately call the local fire
department.

m) from the sides, front and back
of appliance to ANY construction.
Keep the area clear of all combustible
material and flammable liquids,
including wood, dry plants and grass,
brush, paper, and canvas.
• Use only on a level, stable non-
combustible surface like bricks, concrete
or dirt. Do not use this appliance on any
surface that will burn or melt like wood,
asphalt, vinyl or plastic.
• Make sure burner clean-out is closed
before starting the pellet grill.
• Make sure the grease bucket is in place
before starting the pellet grill.
OPERATION:
• Do NOT leave this appliance
unattended while in use. The user must
remain in the immediate area of the
product and have a clear view of the
product at all times during operation.
• Keep children and pets away from
burner at all times.
• The use of alcohol, prescription or
non-prescription drugs may impair your
ability to properly assemble or safely
operate this appliance.
• For OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT
use in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area. Do NOT use in or on
recreational vehicles or boats. NEVER
use this appliance as a heater.
• Keep the lid closed during cooking.
• In the event of a fire the dial should be
turned to shutdown, close the lid, and
leave it closed until the fire goes out.
After allowing the pellet grill to cool,
follow the cleaning instructions before
the next use.
• Do not use accessories not specified
for use with appliance.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type
lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or freshen up a fire in this appliance.
Keep all such liquids well away from the
appliance when in use.
• This product is not intended for
commercial use.
PELLETS:
• Use only food grade hardwood pellets
manufactured for use in pellet grills.
Using softwood or heating pellets will
void your warranty.
• It is recommended that you not store
pellets in the hopper for extended
periods as they may absorb moisture
from the air and clog the auger.
• Do not allow the hopper to run out
of pellets. Pellets can be added
at any time. The hopper will hold
approximately 30 pounds of pellets.
The pellet usage will vary greatly
depending on the ambient temperature
as well as cooking temperature.
CLEANING:
• Creosote – Formation and need for
removal. When wood pellets are
burned slowly, they produce tar and
other organic vapors that combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense in a
relatively cool oven flue and exhaust
hood of a slow burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining and exhaust hood.
When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire. The grease
duct should be inspected every 50
hours of cooking to determine when
grease and/or creosote build-up has
occurred. When grease or creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce risk of fire.
• 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 the ashes are disposed
by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
STORAGE:
• Always allow the appliance to cool
before covering with the cover.
• Always cover the appliance, with cover
(if supplied), when not in use.
• Always unplug pellet grill before
installing patio cover.

To navigate, rotate the dial to scroll through menus and press
the dial to select.
Main menu:
Push the controller dial to enter the main menu.
The main menu allows you to set the temperature of your pellet
grill, initiate fan mode, feed pellets through the auger, change
from Fahrenheit to Celsius, Connect the device to WiFi, and
reset the device as needed.
CONTROLLER FUNCTION OVERVIEW CONT.
Set temperature:
Use this setting to set your temperature (160 - HIGH). Rotate
the dial to the desired temperature and press to confirm. After
setting your temperature you will be prompted to set your
smoke level.
Your controller also comes with two built-in presets with
set temperatures and smoke levels. These can be found by
navigating counter clockwise on the controller.
1. Low Smoke: A preset of 160˚F with a smoke level of 2.
2. High Smoke: A preset of 220˚F with a smoke level of 3.
Fan mode:
Use this setting when cold smoking. This setting is used to
turn the fan on without lighting the burner. This can be used
with a pellet tube to circulate ambient air through the grill for
cold smoking. This works best when ambient temperatures
outside are cool.

8 9
Feed:
This setting is used to feed pellets to the burner and should
only be used in the following scenarios:
1. The first time you use the grill to fill the auger tube.
2. Anytime you inadvertently run the hopper out of pellets or
if you want to change pellet variety.
Once the FEED cycle has finished, the controller will return to
the main menu and the auger tube will be filled with pellets.
You are now ready to start cooking.
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding pellets into the
burner prior to startup. If flame is inadvertently extinguished
never restart the grill without first cleaning out the burner.
Improper use can cause an uncontrolled fire.
Units:
Switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
About:
1. Program: Check your program firmware version, your grill
ID, or connection status.
2. Grill ID: Add your pellet grill to your devices in the Camp
Chef App.
3. Connection: Verify your connection status
Reset:
Reset your WiFi and Bluetooth history from the controller.
Refer to troubleshooting for more information.
Set smoke level:
Use this setting to adjust the smoke level. Rotate dial to
the desired smoke setting and press to confirm. The smoke
setting can be adjusted from 1-10.
A smoke setting of 1 will produce less smoke and maintain a
more even temperature. As the smoke setting increases, the
temperature fluctuations will also increase.

10 11
Bypass:
Use bypass in the case of power failure/accidentally outage or
you need to restart the grill and it is still hot.
Use only if grill has been off for less than 3-4 minutes.
This method is used to bypass the normal startup, ignite new
pellets, and get back to cooking. BYPASS can be selected
during the initial startup of the grill.
Shutdown:
Use this setting when you are finished with your cook. The
fan will remain on for up to 20 minutes. This setting will burn
up any extra pellets in the burner and cool down the grill.
After 20 minutes the display screen will turn off and the grill
can be unplugged.
This setting must be used after each use.
Do not turn the main power switch off when the grill is hot.
In event of a grease fire, do not use the shutdown mode.
Turn the grill off and use a fire extinguisher.
CAMP CHEF CONNECT APP

from the controller.
CAMP CHEF CONNECT APP FUNCTIONS
The Camp Chef Connect app lets you do everything the
controller can do and more.
Probes:
Your pellet grill comes with two probe ports. Organize your
probes by naming them within the app and assigning them
target temperatures. (Yes, we’ll even send you notifications
when they get close!)
Do not use meat probes when grill temperature exceeds
350°F. Damage to the probes may occur.
Timers:
Create a list of timers to remind you to check your grill at
important intervals. Timers are persistent and can be easily
used across different cooks. This can be extremely helpful in
multi-stage smokes like ribs or brisket.

PELLET GRILL MAINTENANCE
If you’ve got yourself a pellet grill, you’re probably enjoying a steady stream of incredible food, whether it’s
fresh-baked pizza or smoked brisket. But with each cookout, your pellet grill collects a little more grease and
ash. To keep your grill at its best, ready to cook all your favorite foods, follow our cleaning guide below.
BETWEEN EACH COOK:
For quick cleanup between cookouts, you don’t
need to do anything too dramatic. In fact, our
patented Ash Clean-out system makes it as simple
as pulling a knob. Before you fire up the pellet grill
each time, just empty the ash into the cup, and
you’re good to go. It’s almost too easy.
Disposing of ash:
If the ash is completely cool, it can be wrapped up
in aluminum foil and tossed in the garbage.
Never dispose of hot ashes. Allow them to cool
before proper disposal.
Don’t forget about the internal temperature
probe. You’ll want to clean it between each cook.
It’s located in the left hand side of the cooking
chamber, and is about the size of a pencil. Our goal
is to keep it looking silver. To do this mix a vinegar/
water solution and use a scouring pad. Often times
if your temperature does not read accurately it’s
because the temperature probe is not clean.
Besides emptying the burn cup, you may want to
spot clean between cook sessions as well. This
can be as simple as wiping away grease spots or
food residue on the door or side shelf. You should
also scrape down the pellet grill grates with a wire
grill brush or spatula before you start cooking to
avoid a burnt taste on your food.
Pull out the grease tray and ensure the grease tray
is free from grease buildup. To avoid flare-ups in
the pellet grill, use a spatula to remove any grease
from tray. Ensure the drain hole and grease drain
are not blocked.
Tip: Scrape your grates with a wire brush after
every cook while the grates are still warm.
Don’t burn yourself if your pellet grill is still hot.
Cleaning meat probes:
Clean your probes after each use. Use warm
soapy water and a cloth or paper towel. Do not
submerge wire in water. Not dishwasher safe.
If you take these small steps toward keeping your
pellet grill clean, any deeper cleaning you do will
be much easier.
AFTER 50 HOURS OF COOKING:
You should give your pellet grill a deep clean
roughly every 50 hours of cooking. If you don’t
cook on your pellet grill very often (you should fix
that), you may only need to deep clean your pellet
grill once every several months. Be sure to clean
the internal temperature probe and dump the ash
cup like in the step previous. If you’re a pellet head
like we are, you’ll find yourself doing this routine
more often. Luckily, it’s quite simple.
Cleaning the exterior:
Safety first! Make sure your pellet grill is totally
cool, then unplug it from its power source.
Empty the pellet hopper to prevent your pellets
from getting wet or coming into contact with
cleaning substances.
Spray stainless steel cleaner on the painted
surfaces of your pellet grill. Avoid spraying any
plastic components. (You can also use hot, soapy
water-it just may not work as quickly!)
Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleaners, or
abrasive cleaning pads on the exterior surfaces of
your pellet grill.
Let the cleaner sit for about 30 seconds to give it
a chance to break down grease and smoke stains.
Wipe off the cleaner with a clean paper towel or
rag. Wipe in circles on all painted surfaces. Repeat
the process once more to clean off any remaining
grease or smoke. With a rag, rinse thoroughly if
you used soapy water.
Cleaning the interior:
Safety first! Make sure your pellet grill is totally
cool, then unplug it from its power source.
Empty the pellet hopper to prevent your pellets
from getting wet or coming into contact with
cleaning substances.
Pull the Ash Clean-out knob and empty the ash
from the burn cup.
Open the door and remove the cooking grates,
any extra racks, drip tray, and heat diffuser plate
from inside the pellet grill. Pay attention to how
these pieces are installed (or even take a picture)
so you’ll have an easier time reassembling your
pellet grill.
Use a wet/dry vacuum with a hose attachment to
remove loose ash and debris.
Remove creosote buildup from updraft walls.
Look for places inside your pellet grill where
grease has built up. Use something with a flat
edge (a paint stick, pan scraper, etc.) to dislodge
and remove it.
Use hot, soapy water and a rag to wash the
interior of your pellet grill, as well as each piece
you pulled out.
Repeat the process until most of the grease
buildup is gone.
With a rag, rinse thoroughly if you used soapy
water and allow everything to dry.
NEVER cover slots, holes, or passages in the
pellet grill bottom or cover an entire rack with
material such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air flow through the pellet grill and may cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat causing a fire hazard.
Allow to dry for at least 24 hours before cooking,
and double-check that the hopper has no water in
it before reloading pellets.
Cleaning the exhaust vents:
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they
produce tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense on cooler areas
of your pellet grill, like your exhaust vents. When
ignited, creosote can produce an extremely hot
fire and damage property or the exterior finish of
your pellet grill. Creosote and grease should be
removed to reduce the risk of fire.
Remove the bolts on either side of the vents on
the back of your pellet grill. From the inside of
your pellet grill, remove the vent cover that is now
loose. Remove any grease or creosote buildup
and replace the cover.
Dedicating a bit of time to cleaning out your pellet
grill, both between cooks and a couple of times
a year, will keep the good food coming for years.
When you love your grillfriend, it will love you back.
Pellet storage:
Store pellets indoors in a dry space away from
humidity, moisture fluctuation, and heat producing
appliances. If your pellet grill ever isn’t running
properly, pellets are the first thing to check.

18 19
Do you need to use pellets all the
time? Even if you are not wanting to
smoke the food?
Pellets are the main source of fuel on this pellet grill.
What brand of pellets should I use? You will want to use 100% all natural wood pellets with no
additives, binders, glue, corn, or any other oils. Camp Chef is
recommended.
How long do you want to run the pel-
let grill before you can cook on it?
You will want to go through the full startup process with the
lid up. You can put the lid down once there is a temperature
displayed on the controller. From there, wait until it gets up to
the desired temperature and then you are good to put your
food in and start your cook.
How long does it take the pellet grill
to start up?
The startup process for the pellet grill is about 6 minutes to
ignite the pellets. From there it will take 10-20 minutes to get
up to the desired temperature. The hotter the temperature,
the longer it can take. Please note that colder temperatures
outside can affect the time as well.
Do I need to empty the ashes every
time?
Yes, this will start you off with a fresh burn cup. If you do not empty
the ashes, burner may not ignite, you can have temperature
swings, flame-outs, and\or burn back into the hopper.
Why is there extra ash in the bottom
of the pellet grill?
Ash at the bottom of the pellet grill is normal due to the blower
fan that keeps the pellets burning. Make sure that the ash pull out
is pushed in all the way, and straight. If it is at an angle, then it will
allow extra air to get through, blowing the ash out of the burn cup.
Why have the ash clean out, if all the
ash doesn’t go into the cup?
The ash clean out system is to help start out with a fresh burn
cup each time you cook, without vacuuming it out. You want an
empty burn cup each time because this helps the pellets burn
better and more efficient without temp swings. We have cut the
vacuuming down to only after 50 hours of use, like the manual
suggests, instead of each cook.
Smoke is escaping around the lid.
Can I add a sealant around my lid?
Adding a sealant around the lid will void your warranty. This
grill is designed to have ample airflow and circulation that is
required for a superior cook.
Is it normal for my pellet grill to put
off a lot of smoke at first?
Yes. This is due to the igniting of the pellets.
Is it normal for my pellet grill to
produce little to no smoke?
At higher temp settings, there will be less smoke, due to
the burning of pellets. On the lower settings, the pellets are
smoldering, so there will be more smoke, however the smoke
comes in waves throughout cooking.
Why is my pellet grill fluctuating in
temperature?
Temperature variation is normal. Your pellet grill will not have
the same temperature readout like an oven (even though
your oven at home has a similar temperature fluctuation.) It is
programmed to let the flame go out and smolder, creating more
smoke. If it never did this, there would be very little smoke. This
creates temperature swings, but the cooking results are great.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why won’t my pellet grill get below
180-220˚F when set at 150˚F ?
Due to the pellet grill being made from steel, you will want to
make sure it’s in the shade, and not in direct sunlight, especially
when it’s hot outside. Think of how hot your car can get during
the summer months. Kinda the same thing. Therefore it’s
normal to not be able to get lower temps on hot days.
Why is there smoke coming out of
the hopper, through my pellets?
A little smoke is normal when airflow is restricted through the
vents or wind is blowing through the vents.
How many pounds of pellets will I go
through per hour?
There are many variables that play into this, however in good
weather, on high setting, the pellet grill will burn about 3 lbs. of
pellets per hour.
During winter/colder months, how
do I ensure my pellet grill stays up to
temperature?
A few tips are to make sure meat is at room temperature, not
straight from fridge; make sure that the lid is not open for very
long when putting food in; when using lower settings, turn knob
to 350, then once temperature gets to desired setting, turn
down to the desired setting.
What is the Bypass for? You are given the option to bypass in both the feed and startup
modes. You can bypass in the feed mode if you hear pellets
dropping into the burn chamber. Only bypass startup if your
pellet grill is still hot. For example, if there is a power outage
and the pellet grill accidentally shuts off, or if you need to restart
the pellet grill and it is still hot, then you would use Bypass
Mode. This mode is to be used only if the pellet grill has been
shut off momentarily and the pellets in the burn cup are still hot
enough to ignite the pellets.
Are there different heat zones in my
pellet grill?
Yes. Our racking system is optimized to keep variable
temperatures at a minimum. Due to heat rising and the fan
blowing to keep the pellets burning, there are heat zones
throughout the pellet grill. You can test the heat zones by
baking biscuits in the chamber and comparing the brownness
of each area. You may want to rotate your food throughout your
cook to ensure all your food is cooked th same.
Can I line my drip pan in foil? Yes, you can line your drip pan in foil for easy cleanup. We would
just recommend double checking the foil and make sure there
are no paths for the oil to go into the bottom of the pellet grill.
Why is black stuff peeling from
inside my pellet grill?
This is a deposit of grease and smoke collecting from normal
use. Peeling is easy to remove. Brush off all loose particles with
a stainless-steel brush before smoking. To prevent: after every
smoke session, while the lid is still warm (not hot,) wipe with
paper towels or a mild degreaser solution.
Do I need a mobile application to use
my pellet grill?
No. The app is not required to use your pellet grill. You can still
set temperatures and adjust Smoke Numbers from the controller.
Can I add multiple pellet grills to the
app?
Yes. After you’ve set them up within the account you can easily
switch between pellet grills within the app.
Can I run one pellet grill with
multiple mobile devices?
Yes. Each pellet grill you set up will be connected to your user
account. You can run a pellet grill on any device that is logged in
to your account.
How do I connect to WiFi? Follow the getting started instructions on page 11.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Why does my pellet grill not turn on
after switching the power button to
the on position?
Make sure the pellet grill is plugged into a powered outlet.
Check the circuit breaker and/or GFCI switch, or test the outlet
using another appliance.
Unplug the pellet grill and check the fuse located by the power
cord inlet, on the back side of the hopper. If the fuse is blown,
replace only with a 4.0 Amp 125 V 55x20mm Fast Blow Fuse.
Typical fuse markings will be 4A125V, F4A125V, 4A250V, or
F4A250V. Make sure to confirm they are a Fast Blow Fuse.
Actual fuse dimensions are 5.2x20mm.
My pellet grill does not heat up? Turn the power off and check the hopper for pellets. Check the
firebox to see if there are pellets in it. The easiest way to do this
is to pull the burner clean-out lever, remove the cup from the
bottom of the pellet grill and check for pellets.
If there are a lot of pellets in the cup, reinstall the cup and close
the burner clean-out. Remove the cooking grates, grease tray,
and heat deflector and vacuum out any pellets in the bottom of
the pellet grill. Try restarting the the pellet grill and if the pellets
are dropping into the the burn cup, but not igniting, the heating
rod may need to be replaced. Call customer service.
After restarting, if there are no pellets falling into the burn cup,
check to see if the auger is turning. If the auger motor is turning,
but the auger isn’t rotating, the auger pin may be sheared and
need to be replaced.
Why is my auger not turning? You may have wet pellets which have swollen and jammed
the auger, if this is the case, call our customer support team.
This will require some disassembly to gain access to the auger
chamber in order to clean out the jammed pellets.
Why is my pellet grill not feeding
pellets, but my auger is turning?
Check to see if there are pellets in the hopper, or if there is
something blocking the pellets from going into the auger chamber.
My probe temperatures do not
display?
Make sure the meat thermometer is connected properly to the
controller. If it still doesn’t work, the probe may be damaged and
need to be replaced.
My Ash Clean-out is stuck, what
do I do?
There is a protectant we use on the raw steel, and when it heats
up, it all goes down to the bottom of the grill, causing the two to
stick together. Try hitting the plate from the bottom of the pellet
grill, with a rubber mallet, in an upward motion or from the inside
of the pellet grill, downward. This should free the two pieces.
Why am I blowing the fuse? It’s most likely the Hot Rod, however you will want to check
the blower and auger motor also. To check the Hot Rod and
motors: disconnect the Hot Rod wires (Purple, A) from the
controller, turn the dial to any of the temperature settings. If you
don’t blow a fuse, then it’s most likely the Hot Rod. Repeat with
the other wires. Make sure to replace with the correct fuse. 4
AMP 125 or 250 V, Fast Blow Fuse.
Having trouble with WiFi
connection.
This may be due to a number of factors.
Use the following to troubleshoot:
• Make sure your pellet grill is in range of your WiFi router.
• Ensure you have a 2.4gHz WiFi network in range.
• In your phone settings, click the ‘show password’ icon to
review your network password to ensure there are no typos
in the Camp Chef app.
Note: WiFi hidden networks and open networks are not supported.
What do the Bluetooth and WiFi
icons on the controller mean?
1. Flashing slow: not connected
2. Flashing fast: connecting
3. Solid: connected
I cannot get my WIFI/Bluetooth
reconnected. I’ve reset everything,
uninstalled the the app on my
device, it recognizes the grill but
never makes the connection.
Do the following:
1. Go into the app’s Device Management and remove the
pellet grill from your account by swiping it away to the left.
2. In your phone’s Bluetooth settings, find an item named
“CampChef:xx:xx” and forget or unpair it.
3. On the pellet grill go to the main menu and choose Reset.
This will forget the Bluetooth and WiFi configurations for
the pellet grill.
4. Turn the pellet grill off, count to 5 slowly, and turn it back on.
Close the app entirely (not just minimized, actually swipe it
closed) and reopen it.
5. Go into the app and then search for the pellet grill; select it
from the search results. The app should prompt you for a
PIN that is displayed on the pellet grill.
6. The app will now scan and show you a list of available WiFi
networks.
7. Select or enter your desired WiFi network, then enter
the password.

TROUBLESHOOTING - ERROR CODES
– – – This is an error code that occurs with the meat probe. Check to
see if you have your meat probe inserted into the port on the
faceplate. If you have your meat probe inserted, try unplugging
the probe and then plugging it back in. If the error code
persists, then you may need a new meat probe.
FLAME OUT This happens when the fire in the pellet grill goes out or falls
below a certain temperature and does not go back up. This
happens more so in the winter months. Also, make sure the
pellets are dry and do not have any moisture in them. If they
crumble easy, then they have moisture in them.
RTD ERROR This is an error code that occurs with the RTD. Check that the
RTD connection is tight. Try unplugging and plugging it back in.
If the error code persists, you may need a new RTD
OVER TEMP For your safety, if the pellet grill goes over 600F, the controller
will automatically shut down the pellet portion of the pellet grill
to avoid large grease fires.
