Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance, or use can
cause injury or property damage. Read the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions
thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
DO NOT touch any part of the pellet grill while the smoker is HOT. Serious
bodily injury could result.
Wood Pellets can emit Carbon Monoxide while stored in normal conditions.
DO NOT store wood pellets in a confined area.
General Safety Instructions
1. For Outdoor Use Only. Please note that Coyote grills are designed for residential use only and
are not suitable for commercial purposes. The original purchaser (homeowner) should only use
and maintain the grill.
2. NEVER operate the pellet grill indoors or in enclosed areas, such as a garage, shed, or
breezeway. Keep clear of trees and shrubs. The grill is not intended for installation in or on
recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats, or any other moving installation. This could result
in carbon monoxide buildup, resulting in injury or death.
3. NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. This could result in carbon monoxide
buildup, resulting in injury or death. To reduce the risk of severe or fatal injury from breathing
toxic fumes and fire because of burning pellets, use only outdoors in an open area with good
ventilation.
4. Fire Hazard: The area surrounding your new grill should be kept clean and free from flammable
liquids and other combustible materials such as mops, rags, or brooms, as well as solvents,
cleaning fluids, lighter fluid, and gasoline.
5. NEVER use the grill in windy conditions. A windbreak will be required if located in a consistently
windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.). Always adhere to the specified clearances listed in
this manual.
6. NEVER leave the grill unattended while cooking.
7. NEVER use lighter fluid in a pellet grill.
8. NEVER allow children to use or play near the grill. Always keep children and pets away from a
hot grill.
9. ONLY a qualified service technician should perform installation and repair or replacement of
parts. If you are not qualified to install, repair, or replace components of your grill, please retain
a qualified professional contractor or technician.
10. Burn Hazard: NEVER lean over an open grill. Do not place clothing or other flammable material
on or near the grill. Do not wear loose-fitting clothes or long sleeves while using the grill, as
some fabrics may be highly flammable and, if ignited, could result in personal injury or death.

11. Burn Hazard: When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, sear grate, or immediate
surroundings, as these areas become extremely hot and can cause burns. Use the grate removal
tool or hand protection. Only open the hood slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.
12. ALWAYS have an ABC fire extinguisher accessible.
13. NEVER attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids, as this may cause a
flashback that could result in personal injury or death.
14. NEVER use aluminum foil to line the grill racks or the drip trays. This can alter airflow for proper
combustion and build up heat in the control area, causing the display to malfunction.se
aluminum foil to line the grill racks or the drip trays, this can alter airflow for proper combustion
and build up heat in the control area causing the display to malfunction.
15. NEVER allow grease or other hot material to drip from the grill onto the electrical supply cord. If
that occurs, unplug the power supply immediately. After the grill has cooled, determine the
cause of the dripping, and correct it. If damage to the power supply is discovered, call a qualified
technician for service.
16. NEVER heat any unopened glass or metal food container on the grill. Pressure may build up and
cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in death, serious personal injury, or property
damage.
17. ALWAYS keep any electrical supply cords away from water or heated surfaces. Electrical cords
should be placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazards.
18. ALWAYS keep electrical supply cords as short as possible.
19. NEVER move the grill when hot.
20. NEVER use a grill while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
21. Fire Hazard: NEVER grill without the drip trays in place; hot grease could leak downward and
produce a fire or an explosion. The drip tray should be pushed all the way to the back of the grill.
22. Fire Hazard: Grease is extremely flammable. Let hot grease cool down before attempting to
clean or dispose of it. After use and cool-down, the drip trays should be cleaned on a regular
basis and kept free of grease.
23. ALWAYS turn off the power when your grill is not in use.
24. ALWAYS unplug the grill when not in use.
25. ALWAYS use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking

Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. If an external electrical source is utilized, this
outdoor cooking appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes. In the
absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70 or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1, 1990, or the latest version.
•Before installing built-in grills in enclosures, copy all product information, such as the model and
serial numbers, and store information safely.
•If a professional installer or technician installs the grill, be sure that they show you where your
electrical supply shut-off is located.
Notice: We strongly recommend professional installation of your Coyote grill. These instructions provide
the measurements necessary to construct a masonry structure to house your outdoor pellet grill.
Location of your Grill:
Locate the grill only OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill in a building, garage,
breezeway, shed, or other enclosed areas without an approved ventilation system. When in use, the grill
will generate a lot of smoke. When installing your grill, select an outdoor location to ensure an adequate
area for the smoke to dissipate TO AVOID INHALATION OF POTENTIALLY TOXIC FUMES.

Ventilation Requirements for Proper Operation of Your Coyote Grill
•Ventilation for a pellet grill is mandatory to ensure that your grill performs as intended and that
you, your family, and your guests are safe.
•Failure to provide proper ventilation will nullify Coyote's warranty and will cause a risk of bodily
injury or death.
•If you install your grill on an island, it must be adequately ventilated. Any such island must have
a minimum of 2 vents (but optimally 4) per cabinet. Each vent must be at least 20 sq. inches and
have access to outside/fresh air. These vents allow for proper airflow to your Coyote Outdoor
Living Pellet Grill. Insufficient airflow can significantly negatively affect its performance. Low
temperatures, fluctuating temperatures, flameouts, and soot can all result from poor airflow.
•Ventilation and typical wind direction and conditions must always be considered when planning
your outdoor cooking island. Just as you would design the layout and measure your indoor
kitchen, you must do the same for the outdoors; but you cannot forget Mother Nature and the
effects she can have on your outdoor cooking equipment.
Clearance
•From Non-Combustible Materials: Coyote grills can be placed directly on or adjacent to non-
combustible materials, subject to ventilation requirements. The hood on a Coyote grill pivots
mainly on the body. Suppose you have a wall or partition behind the unit that would block
ventilation. In that case, a minimum of 7" clearance from the back of the grill to the wall is
needed for ventilation. If you do not have a wall or partition blocking the ventilation of the unit.
You only need an extra 3¼" behind the unit for the hood to open fully.

10
•From Combustible Materials: Coyote grills must have at least 12" clearance from any
combustible materials (in any direction) for the homeowner's safety and for any Coyote
Warranty to remain in effect.
You CAN only locate the grill under combustible material with an approved ventilation
system directly above the unit. To elaborate, Coyote defines an approved ventilation
hood as:
oThe ventilation hood chosen must be UL certified, produced for outdoor use,
and must be installed according to the hood manufacturer's specifications.
oThe ventilation hood must be installed at least 30" above the top of the cooking
surface.
oThe hood must be at least 6” wider than the grill frame (3" on each side), not
just the cooking surface.
•Insulated Jackets and Combustible Construction: If you elect to use combustible material to
build your grill island AND the grill will be located within 12" of the combustible material, you
must use the appropriate Coyote insulated jacket. The insulated jacket will act as a barrier to
protect your grill island from the heat and fire of your Coyote grill. If an insulated jacket is not
used in a combustible material island, the warranty on the Coyote grill will be voided
immediately, and safety cannot be ensured.
For Built-in Installations
A built-in grill is designed for easy installation into masonry enclosures. For non-combustible
applications, the grill slides into the opening and hangs from the grill body itself. A bottom deck is not
required to support the grill from the bottom. It is also required that:
•A minimum of two ventilation holes in the enclosure, of at least 20 sq. inches in size (per vent),
must be present.
•The counter should be flat and level relative to the floor.
High Elevation Installation and Use
Coyote Grills operate most efficiently at 0-2000 feet above sea level. From 2000-4000 feet above sea
level, you will not notice any substantial decrease in your heat. Above 4000 feet, you may experience
longer cooking times on your grill than experienced at sea level. Please get in touch with Coyote
Customer Service for assistance if you have questions or concerns regarding your location or elevation.

Always use 100% natural food grade hardwood BBQ wood pellets. They are no thicker than the eraser
on the end of a pencil. These clean-burning wood pellets generate about 8000 BTUs per pound with
little ash (.3Ib/40lb bag) and low moisture content (5-7%) and are "carbon neutral." Experimenting with
different flavors is essential to find what you like best. There are many kinds of wood pellets available.
Start with a small amount of pellets and add more as needed. Be sure to clean the grill after each use.
This will help prevent grease and ash buildup, which can cause a fire.
Pellet Flavor Guidelines
•Apple: Apple wood pellets have a mild, sweet flavor that pairs well with chicken, pork, lamb,
and seafood.
•Cherry: Cherry wood pellets have a slightly sweet, fruity flavor that pairs well with chicken, pork,
beef, and vegetables.
•Hickory: Hickory wood pellets have a strong, smoky flavor that pairs well with pork, beef, and
lamb.
•Maple: Maple wood pellets have a mild, sweet flavor that pairs well with chicken, pork, beef,
and vegetables.
•Mesquite: Mesquite wood pellets have a strong, smoky flavor that pairs well with beef, lamb,
and seafood.
Storing and Loading Pellets

16
•Oak: Oak wood pellets have a mild, smoky flavor that pairs well with chicken, pork, beef, and
lamb.
•Pecan: Pecan wood pellets have a mild, nutty flavor that pairs well with chicken, pork, and beef.
TIP: Always store your pellets in a dry area and avoid any contact or exposure to moisture. Improper
storage will cause the pellets to absorb moisture and will result in lower heat output or cause the
pellets to swell and break apart. Use a moisture-proof and re-sealable tub or bucket to store the wood
pellets.
NOTE: We do not recommend using the hopper for pellet storage.
Filling the Hopper and Auger
Before you can start cooking, you will need to fill the hopper with pellets.
