Initial Firing Procedure
IMPORTANT! To ensure proper functioning,
perform the following procedure the first time
the Grill is used or if it runs out of pellets during
operation, or if the Grill is empty of pellets since
the last time it was used.
1. WARNING! Before performing this step, make
sure that the Power Switch is OFF (O) and that
the Grill is completely cooled from any
previous use.
Open the Grill Barrel Lid. Remove the
Warming Rack, Cooking Grate, Grease
Drain Pan and Heat Baffle from inside the
Grill Barrel.
2. Turn the Power Switch ON (l) and the Control
Dial to Smoke.
3. Look into the Pellet Hopper to confirm that the
Auger is turning. At the same time, place your
fingers over the Firepot to feel air movement
from the Fan. After several minutes you should
feel the air movement increasing in warmth,
and see the temperature readout increase a
few digits on the Control Panel display.
WARNING! Never place your fingers into the
Firepot, and do not touch any of the metal
surfaces in the Firepot or Auger Housing
area. They may be hot enough to burn you!
4. If the Auger is turning, the Fan is moving
air, the air becomes warmer and the
temperature readout increases, turn the
Control Dial to Shut Down Cycle.
5. If the air movement does not become
warmer and there is no increase in the
temperature readout, the Heating Rod is
malfunctioning. However, if the Auger
and Fan are working, the Grill can still be
used. Proceed to the Manual Lighting
instructions in this Use & Care Guide.
Otherwise, proceed as follows.
6. Fill the Pellet Hopper with wood pellets.
WARNING! Use only wood pellets of .25″
or less diameter and not longer than 1″.
Never use heating fuel pellets in the Grill.
7. Turn the Control Dial to High. Note:
During the initial charging of the Auger,
it will take time for the Pellets to travel
from the Pellet Hopper to the Firepot.
8. When the Pellets begin to fall into the
Firepot, turn the Control Dial to Smoke. Let
the Pellets come to full flame. Once you see
flames come out of the Firepot, turn the
Control Dial to Shut Down Cycle, and let the
Grill cool down.
9. After grill is fully cooled, position the Heat
Baffle, Grease Drain Pan, Cooking Grate and
Warming Rack into their proper locations.
WARNING! If at any time the Grill fails to light,
or the fire in the Firepot goes out while cooking
or smoking when sufficient pellets are still in the
Pellet Hopper, turn the Control Dial to Shut Down
Cycle and let the Grill completely cool down.
Then perform the Initial Firing Procedure. Failure
to do so may cause a hazardous over-firing of
your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets in
the Firepot.

8. Squirt 2 tablespoons of Alcohol Gel fire
lighter into the Firepot on top of the pellets.
DANGER! Never use gasoline, gasoline-
type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid or similar liquids to start or freshen up
a fire in this Grill. Keep all such liquids well
away from the Grill when in use.
9. Carefully light the Alcohol Gel with a
fireplace match or a long-reach butane
lighter.
DANGER! Never squirt Alcohol Gel into
a burning fire or a hot Firepot. The
Alcohol Gel bottle could explode and
cause a fire, serious injury or death.
10. Let the Alcohol Gel and Pellets burn for
approximately 4 minutes.
11. After assuring the Pellets have ignited,
CAREFULLY install the Heat Baffle, Grease
Drain Pan and Grills back in place.
WARNING! You will now have a fire in

you install these components.
12. Turn the Power Switch ON (l) and the Control
Dial to any desired temperature setting. Allow
the Grill to pre-heat for approximately 10
minutes with the Grill Barrel Lid closed before
placing food on the cooking grate.
Control Shut Down Cycle
The controls for this Smoker Grill feature an
automatic shut down cycle. When finished
cooking set the Control Dial to the Shut Down
Cycle position, which will leave the Fan running
for ten minutes so that most of the remaining
pellets in the Firepot will finish burning.
Control Safety Features
The controls come equipped with 2 heat level
safety features. The first of these is a low
temperature code display. If the grill stays
below 125⁰F for a period of 10 minutes the
control display will read LEr and all power will
shut off to the internal components of the grill.
The display will stay in this state until you turn
off the main power switch.
The second feature is a high temperature
code display. If the grill reaches an internal
temperature reading of 550⁰F the control
display will read HEr and all power will shut off
to the internal components of the grill. The
display will stay in this state until you turn off
the main power switch.
If either of the above conditions occur, unplug
the grill and check to see if you can determine
the cause before starting it again. See Pellet
Ignition Check section in this Use & Care Guide.
Operating Tips & Hazards
1. The Smoke setting on the Control Dial is for
smoking and adding smoke flavor to foods
being cooked. The Smoke setting can also be
used to “hold” foods at approximately 160⁰
to 180⁰F.
2. WARNING! Never move the Pellet Grill while
it is hot. If you are transporting your Grill in a
vehicle after cooking on it, make sure the fire
is completely out and the Grill is cold before
placing it in any vehicle.
3. Never put water into the Firepot. It will jam
the Auger.
4. The Pellet Grill is designed to operate with
the Grill Barrel Lid closed. Cooking with
the Grill Barrel Lid open greatly lengthens
your cooking time.
5. DANGER! Never add pellets by hand to a


15

hot Firepot. This is dangerous and you may
be seriously burned. If you run out of pellets
and lose your fire while cooking, let the
Grill completely cool and perform the
procedure described in the Initial Firing
Procedure.
6. CAUTION! Make sure the Heat Baffle is
properly seated on its locating brackets.
The long lips of the Heat Baffle should be
pointing down over the Firepot. If not
seated properly, direct heat and flame
could come up out of the Firepot and
cause a grease fire in the Grill.
7. When estimating cooking times, the outside
temperature is an important factor. If it is hot
outside, it will take less time for food to cook.
If it is cold, wet or windy, it will take longer.
8. After selecting your cooking temperature (with
the exception of Smoke) the Auger will
operate continuously until the temperature is
reached. Then the controls will cycle the
Auger off and on to maintain the temperature.
When operating in Smoke mode, the Auger is
factory pre-set to cycle on for 15 seconds and
off for 65 seconds.
9. CARBON MONOXIDE
WARNING! Follow these guidelines to prevent
this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning
you, your family or others.
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and
confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the
blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood
oxygen levels can result in loss of
consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold
or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in
the vicinity of this Grill. 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 problems, such as anemia or
heart disease.
10. GREASE FIRES
CAUTION! Grease fires are typically caused
by failing to clean your Grease Drain Pan
and Drain Tube on a consistent basis.
In the unlikely event of a grease fire while
cooking, turn the Power Switch OFF (O) and
keep the Grill Barrel Lid closed until the fire
is completely out.
Never keep the Grill Barrel Lid open during
a grease fire. If the fire does not go out,
briefly open the Grill Barrel Lid, lightly
sprinkle baking soda on the fire and reclose
the Lid. Be careful not to burn yourself!
When the fire is out and the Grill is
completely cool, remove the old foil from
the Drain Pan, clean the Pan and recover
with new foil. Clean any grease
accumulation from the Grease Drain Tube.
Maintenance
Creosote and Grease
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 the relatively
cool flue exhaust of a slow burning fire. As a
result, creosote accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot
fire. Airborne grease particles will travel through
the cooking chamber. Some of this airborne
grease will accumulate on the flue lining along
with the creosote, which could contribute to a
fire. The smoke stack should be inspected at
least twice a year to determine when a creosote
or grease buildup has occurred.
Also, grease drippings from the food will fall
onto the Grease Drain Pan and be channeled
out of the Grill through the Grease Drain Tube
and collected in the Grease Bucket. Grease
will accumulate in all of these locations.
The Grease Drain, the Grease Drain Tube and
the Grease Bucket should be inspected at least
twice a year for signs of grease buildup. When
creosote or grease has accumulated, remove it
to reduce the risk of fire.
Cleaning Grease from your Grill:
WARNING! Turn the Switch OFF (O) and
disconnect the Power Cord.
CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to clean
off when the Grill is still warm –not hot.
Be careful not to burn yourself. Always wear
protective gloves.


16

Periodically clean the grease out of the Drain
Pan Assembly and Grease Drain Tube. If too
much grease is allowed to build up in the
Grease Drain Tube, or is allowed to plug the
Grease Drain Tube, a grease fire could result.
Remove the Cooking Grate, Warming Rack,
Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle. Wipe up any
remaining grease residue inside the Grill Frame
with paper towels or disposable rags. Paper
towels or disposable rags can also be used to
wipe some of the grease off of the interior
surfaces of the Grill.
Line Grease Bucket and Grease Drain Pan with
aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Empty Grease
Bucket occasionally, depending on amount of
use. Change the aluminum foil on the Grease
Drain Pan frequently (sometimes after each use,
depending upon what was cooked). Clean foil
will make your food taste better and reduce the
risk of a grease fire.
Cleaning outside surfaces
WARNING! Turn the Switch OFF (O) and
disconnect the Power Cord.
Use a disposable rag or cloth, dampened with
warm soapy water to wipe the grease from the
outside of the Grill. DO NOT use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads
on the outside Grill surfaces.
Outside Storage
CAUTION! If the Grill is stored outside during
the rainy season, care should be taken to
ensure that water does not get into the Pellet
Hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand
greatly and will jam your Auger. A Grill Cover
to protect the Grill is highly recommended.
Cleaning the Cooking Grate and Warming Rack
CAUTION! Cleaning the Cooking Grate and
Warming Rack works best while they are still
warm –not hot. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Keep a long-handled cleaning brush near the
Grill. After removing your food, give the
Porcelain Grill a quick brushing. It takes only a
minute and it will be ready the next time you
want to use the Grill.
Cleaning ash from inside and around Firepot
WARNING! Turn the Switch OFF (O) and
disconnect the Power Cord. Make sure that the
Grill is cold before cleaning the ash. Dispose of
ash only per the following instructions.
Excess ash in the Firepot may cause your fire to
go out, especially in the Smoke setting. The
Firepot should be inspected occasionally, and
cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again,
clean the ash from in and around the Firepot
only when the Grill is cold.
Remove the Cooking Grate, Warming Rack,
Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to access the
Firepot and Grill interior. Much of the ash
outside of the Firepot can be swept to the open
area at the right of the Firepot using a small
whisk broom. It can be removed from the Grill
with a small metal fireplace shovel or other
similar tool, or by vacuum. See the following
vacuuming instructions.
Vacuum Ash Removal
CAUTION! A vacuum cleaner is the best way
to remove ashes from the Firepot, but do it
with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire.
Again, only clean the ash from the Firepot
only when the Grill is cold.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner, having a metal
collection canister without a bag is best for this
task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner can
be used if the procedure below is followed.
If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model,
empty any previously accumulated debris
from the vacuum collection chamber. Then
vacuum the ash from the inside of the Firepot.
Once the Firepot is clean, empty the collection
chamber into the metal container described
below without delay. Make sure that there is
no remaining ash residue left in the collection
chamber.
If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a
disposable bag, install an unused one in the
machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside
of the Firepot. Once the Firepot is clean,
remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner and
place it in the metal container described below
without delay.
Disposal of Ashes
WARNING! Place ashes 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 of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
