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
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.
1. A minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 305mm (12 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 or in an enclosed, unventilated area. 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 vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power
cord from the connected outlet. 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.
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, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. 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.
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.
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 authorized dealer.
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.

ENGLISH
3
6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will
void your warranty.
8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.
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, wood fuel only. 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 with additives. Wood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an
airtight container. If you are storing your grill, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all pellets from your
grill's hopper and auger, to prevent jams.
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.
At time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards
to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information can be found at
www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute .
Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over
the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.
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, moisture affected pellets, 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.
If creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away
any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)
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 oxygen levels 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, or others:
• 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.

power surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of
operation. During the start-up phase, the 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.

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.
Throughout this manual, you will notice the emphasis on grilling food slowly at LOW or MEDIUM temperature settings.

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 Country Smokers units should keep a minimum clearance of 305mm (12 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, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

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 winter blues.
Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:
• If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.
• 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!
• To help 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.

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.

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.

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-
kissed vegetables, garlic toast or s’mores! When the
flame broiler is closed , the air circulates around the barrel, 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.

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.
•   60125° / 140257°
This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more smoke flavor and keep your
meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known as
low and slow ). 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 60-125C / 140-257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  (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
prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect!

These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited, and each time the grill runs out of pellets in the hopper. The
auger must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the fire pot. If not primed, the igniter
will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system at the bottom.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom of the main barrel.
3. With the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position, plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Smoke position. Check the following items:
• That you can hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the fire pot and feel for air movement. Do not place your
hand or fingers inside the fire pot. This can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the
fire pot. The igniter tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the igniter.
5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the Temperature Control Dial to Off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural barbecue wood pellets.
7. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to Smoke. Wait approximately 3 minutes for the pellets to start dropping into the
fire pot from the auger tube. Once pellets begin to drop into the fire pot, turn the Temperature Control Dial to Off.
8. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel. The grill is now ready to use. (See
