The "PROBE TEMP" Button is used as a Temperature Switch
Control to change the temperature readout on the LCD Screen.
Press and hold the button for two seconds to switch to grill
temperature or to PROBE TEMP, as preferred. Default is set to
Fahrenheit.
The plug-in connection ports on the front of the Control Board
are for a Meat Probe(s). When a meat probe is connected, the
temperature is displayed onthe LCD Screen. When not in use,
disconnect the meat probe from the connection port. Addi-
tional meat probe(s)sold separately.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES
1) TEMPERATURE PROBE
Located inside the main barrel, on the left side wall, is the tem-
perature probe. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless steel. 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 temperature inside the
unit and adjust to the desired temperature.
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.
2) MEAT PROBE
Compatible with PT1000 meat probes only.
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat
in the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the meat
probe adapter to the meat probe connection port on the Control
Board and insert the stainless steel meat probe into the
thickest portion of your meat and the temperature will be
displayed on the control board. To ensure 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.

Maintaining Your Grill
1) CREOSOTE AND GREASE: Formation and need for removal.
The flue exhaust should be inspected at least twice a year to deter-
mine when a creosote or grease buildup has occurred.
Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto the Grease Drain
Pan and then out of the Grill through the Grease Drain Tube, to be
collected in the Grease Cup. Grease will accumulate in all of these
locations.
The Grease Drain Pan, the Grease Drain Tube and the Grease Cup
should be inspected at least twice a year for signs of grease
build-up.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed
to reduce the risk of fire
Cleaning Grease from your Grill:
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to clean off when the Grill
is still warm but not hot.
Be careful not to burn yourself. Gloves are recommended. Periodi-
cally, 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.
We recommend cleaning these locations regularly.
Remove the Porcelain Grates and the Grease Drain Pan and the
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.
Wrap your Grease Cup with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Empty
it occasionally, depending on amount of use. Change the alumi-
num foil on the Grease Drain Pan frequently.
Clean foil on the Grease Drain Pan will make your food taste better
and reduce the risk of a grease fire.
2) Cleaning outside surfaces:
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.
3) Outside Storage:
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.
4) Cleaning the Porcelain Grates:
The cleaning of the Porcelain Grate works best while they are still
warm. Be careful not to burn yourself. We recommend keeping a
long-handled cleaning brush near the Grill. After removing your
food, give the Porcelain Grate a quick brushing. It takes only a
minute and it will be ready the next time you want to use the Grill.
5) cleaning the ash from inside and around the brazier:
Turn the Switch "OFF" and disconnect the Power Cord, Make sure
that the Grill is COLD before cleaning the ash. Disposal of ash should
be done only per the following instructions
a. Excess ash in the brazier may cause your fire to go out, especially
in the "SMOKE" setting. The brazier should be inspected occasional-
ly, and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash
from in and around the brazier should be done only when the Grill is
COLD.
b.Remove the Porcelain Grate, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to
provide access to the brazier and the interior of the Grill. Much of
the ash outside of the brazier can be swept to the open area at the
right of the brazier using a small whisk broom. It can be removed
from the Grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar
tool Dispose of the ashes per the following instructions.
WARNING! A vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from

the brazier but this must be done with extreme care to avoid the risk
of fire. Again, cleaning the ash from the brazier should be done only
when the Grill is COLD.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner, having a metal collection canister \
without a bag would be best for this task. However, almost any
vacuum cleaner will work safely if this procedure is properly
followed.
After assuring that the ash in the brazier is COLD, vacuum the ash
from the inside of the brazier.
6) HOPPER ASSEMBLY
The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of clean-
ing and change out of pellet fuel flavors. To empty, open the top of
the pellet hopper, unscrew three screws and clean the pellets.
NOTE: a) Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess
pellets, sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out.
b) Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent found
on the bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper access panel is
removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), carefully wipe off
any grease build-up directly on the fan blades. This ensures airflow
is sufficient to the feed system.
Disposal Of Ash:
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combus-
tible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materi-
als, pending final disposal. When the ash 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.

WHY WON’T MY GRILL IGNITE?
Verify power at the electrical outlet.
a)If Power Cord is connected to a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter),
check and reset if necessary.
b) Initiate start up.
Still no ignition - Proceed to step 2.
Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. Remove
the Control and check the fuse on back. Replace the fuse if
blown. Reinstall the Control!

a) unplug Hot Rod connector (Purple/White wire pair), plug
Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and
turn the Switch "ON".
NOTE: At this point the Grill will not ignite.
b) Check the Draft Inducer Fan and the Auger Drive Motor for
operation. If both are operating -- the Hot Rod needs to be
replaced.
If the problem is identified to be a failed Hot Rod, the Grill can still
be used to cook and smoke by following the MANUAL IGNITION
INSTRUCTIONS.
If the Hot Rod only is not operating, the Grill can still be used to cook
and smoke using the MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE below:
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power
Cord. Allow the Grill to thoroughly cool if it is still hot. From
beneath the Pellet Hopper, disconnect the Hot Rod ( shown in
the wiring diagram as above). You will need to remove the
Hopper Bottom Panel to access the wiring. Once the Hot Rod is
disconnected, replace the Hopper Bottom Panel and plug the
Power Cord back into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet.
Open the Pellet Hopper and fill with BBQ PELLETS.
Remove the Porcelain Grate, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle
to expose the brazier in the bottom of the Grill.
Pour 1/2 cup of BBQ PELLETS into the brazier.
Squirt 2 table spoons of AlcohoI Gel fire lighter into the brazier on
top of the Pellets.
DANGER! Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-
sene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up”afire in this Grill. Keep all such liquids well away from
the Grill when in use.
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
brazier. The Alcohol Gel bottle could explode and cause a fire,
serious injury or death.
Let the Alcohol Gel and Pellets burn for approximately 4 minutes.
After assuring the Pellets have ignited, install the Heat Baffle,
Grease Drain Pan and Porcelain Grills back in place.
CAUTION! You will now have a fire in the brazier. Be careful not to
burn yourself when you install these components. Gloves are
recommended.
Turn the Switch ON (--) and the Temperature/Dial to any setting
desired. With the Door closed, let the Grill preheat for approxi-
mately 10 minutes before placing food in the Grill.
Verify that there are Pellets in the Pellet Hopper. If this is the
INITIAL FIRING or the Grill has run out of Pellets, allow sufficient
time for the Pellets to travel from the Pellet Hopper to the bra-
zier.
Initiate start up. See INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS in Using
Instructions of this Manual,
Still no Pellets in the brazier - Proceed to step 3.
Turn the Switch "OFF" and disconnect the Power Cord.
a) Unplug the Auger Drive Motor (Red/White wire pair connec-
tor) and the Draft Inducer Fan (Orange/White wire pair connec-
tor).
b) Reconnect the Draft Inducer Fan to the Red/White wire pair
and the Auger Drive Motor to the Orange/White pair.
c) Plug the Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical
outlet and turn the Switch "ON".
d) If the Auger Drive Motor is operating (check the small fan
blade on the back of the motor), the problem is in the Three
Speed or Digital Control, which will need to be replaced.
If the Auger Drive Motor is not operating but the Draft Inducer
Fan is operating, the problem is in the Auger system, which will
need to be checked.

a) With the Switch "OFF", locate the small fan blade on the back
of the Auger Drive Motor.
b) While watching the fan blade, turn the Switch "ON". If the fan
blade does not turn, turn the Switch "OFF". This indicates a
defective Auger Drive Motor and it will need to be replaced.
c) If the fan blade turns a bit and then stops, continue watching
and turn the Switch "OFF". If the fan blade UNWINDS slightly, this
indicates a jam in the Auger system which will need to be
cleared.
d)Turn the Switch "OFF" and disconnect the Power Cord. Remove
the Pellets from the Pellet Hopper. Check for foreign objects and
wet or decomposed Pellets, both of which can cause a jam in
the Auger system. The Auger will need to be removed to clear a
jam in the Auger system. See “HOW DO I REMOVE THE AUGER IF IT
JAMS?" section below.
Turn the Switch "OFF" and disconnect the Power Cord.
If the Grill is still hot, allow it to thoroughly cool.
Remove any covers necessary to access the Auger Drive Motor.
Remove the screw connecting the Auger Drive Motor shaft to the
Auger shaft and the screw retaining the Auger Bushing into the
Auger Tube.
With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the Auger shaft,
turn the Auger counter clockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks
free, then the Auger will turn freely.
Remove the Auger and clean all Pellets, ash or foreign objects-
from the Auger, Auger Tube and brazier.
Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sand-
paper. Check the inside of the Auger Tube and sand it if needed.
Vacuum the sanding grit out of the Auger Tube and brazier
when finished. Check that the Auger rotates freely.
Re-attach the Auger shaft to the Auger Drive Motor shaft.
