LONE STAR CHEF PELLET GRILL

Initial Setup Procedure
For your first lighting, follow this Initial Setup Procedure.
Before starting your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER, inspect the burn area inside the grilling area. It is a
recommended practice to go through the following procedure at initial start up.
1. Open the main lid and remove the cooking grate, drip pan and flame deflector. Make sure all
packing material has been removed.
2. Open the pellet hopper lid found on the left side of your grill and check for any foreign ob-
jects.
3. Plug your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER into the nearest 110 Volt AC GFCI outlet. (Note: If
your home does not have a GFCI outlet, you should have one installed by an electrician.)
4. Put no more than 1/2 cup of pellets directly into the fire pot to provide fuel to burn while
auger tube self-primes.
5. Pour pellets into your grill’s pellet hopper.
6. Wash cooking grate with mild soap and water.
7. Reinstall the steel flame deflector, drip pan, cooking grate, and close lid.
Tip: If you want to line your drip pan with foil for ease of cleanup, we recommend you do this
before your initial burn in. When lining drip pan, keep foil inside drip pan edges and do not
wrap around as this can restrict airflow.
8. Turn on your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER by pressing the power button at the left of the
panel. Set temperature to 400ºF by turning temperature control knob.
9. Within a few minutes you will see smoke, and your grill will light.
10. Once grill achieves 400ºF, allow it to run for 1 hour, this will provide a final cure and remove
any residue that may have accumulated during manufacturing and shipping.
After this initial burn, your grill is ready for cooking.
Temperature Probes
Plug your temperature probes into the grill’s controller probe ports A and B.
Feed probes through the probe port hole on the left side of grill cooking chamber.
Insert probes into thickest portion of meat for most accurate reading.
See page 22 for USDA safety guidelines.
Unplugging probes and cleaning with damp cloth will prolong the life and accuracy of your probes.
Reinstalling rubber protectors over connection ports on controller after each cook will prolong the life
and quality of your controller.
DO NOT FULLY SUBMERGE PROBES IN WATER OR WASH IN DISHWASHER!

Adjustable Parameter 1: Min Feed Rate – Set point LED light flashes. Min Feed Rate is the minimum
rate that the auger is allowed to feed fuel to the fire pot, regardless of Set Point. Decreasing the value will
allow the grill to achieve lower temperatures but will increase the risk of flameouts. Increasing the value
will pre- vent losing fire but will limit your ability to maintain low temperatures on hot, sunny days.
Additionally, the current auger minimum feed rate will be displayed as a number. Pressing Temp Up will
increase and pressing Temp Down will decrease the value within the range of 3.0 - 25.
Adjustable Parameter 2: Temperature Offset – Actual LED light flashes. Your grill has been precisely
calibrated at our facility, but the Temperature Offset allows you to customize how your controller will
operate. The current temperature offset percentage value will be displayed. Pressing Temp Up will increase
and pressing Temp Down will decrease the value within the range of -20 to 20. (Factory preset: 0)

Preheating(
It is important to allow your grill to preheat and achieve your desired cooking temperature before
cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature once
your food is introduced. If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a longer
period of time to bring both the grill and the food to your desired cooking temperature.(
Pellet Information(
REC TEC GRILLS Ultimate Blend premium hardwood pellets contain approximately 8,200 BTU’s
of heat per pound and have less than 1% ash residue. Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet
pellets will swell and turn back into sawdust. For best results, always use premium hardwood
pellets in your grill. The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in tem-
perature variations, uneven cooking, and poor results. Remember pellets do not contain preserva-
tives and will deteriorate over time.
Caution: Some wood pellets produced for heating fuel have a high content of softwood
which can include pitch, and should not be used for cooking. Always check with the pellet
manufacturer to ensure that you are cooking with a premium 100% hardwood pellet.
Lid Position!
Always cook with the lid closed. An open lid allows heat to escape and sends false temperature in-
formation to your Smart Grill Technology™ processor. This hinders the REC TEC’s natural con-
vection air flow, and lengthens cooking time. Cooking with the lid closed keeps the temperature even
and cooks food faster. A closed lid also helps to enhance the flavor profile of your food by infusing
smoke from the pellet flavor you selected into your food.
Tips and Tricks
Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function. It is advised to clean before any long
cook. (See page 14 for cleaning instruction)
Always use grill on a level surface.
Check and clean fire pot regularly; this will ensure proper ignition and heat output.
Not all pellets are created equal, always use dry and fresh pellets.
Always store pellets in a dry area.
Get to know your grill, keep good cooking notes. This will help with consistency.
Practice makes perfect.
Always allow your meat to rest before serving.

GRILLS

Always keep your cooking area clean.
Avoid lifting the lid more than necessary.
Wind can cool your grill temperature.
Always preheat grill to desired temperature before use.
Wipe off steel surfaces before preheating; dirt and food stains can cook into surface.
Always check pellet hopper for debris and remove excess pellet dust as needed. (A shop-vac is the pre-
ferred method)
Leave at least one inch of clearance between food for even cooks. (Crowded foods will take longer to
cook)
Foods cooked on pans or in containers will require more time than foods cooked directly on grate. This
also limits the amount of wood smoked flavor.
Use the REC TEC GRILLS Bullpen Instant Read Thermometer to determine meat-doneness, never rely
on time.
Know your food’s internal temp!
Use long handled tongs and spatulas for turning meats, do not use plastic utensils.
Injecting, mopping, and spritzing are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
When going low and slow, plan for your meats stall, larger pieces of meat tend to take longer from
160-180 ºF degrees. Be patient.
Never unplug your grill to turn it off; for proper shutdown procedure see “Power Button” on page
10.
If grill is not used for six weeks or more, it is advised to remove all pellets from hopper.
When not in use, unplug and cover with REC TEC GRILLS Premium Grill Cover.
Temps!
Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red meats -
including pork - can be pink, even when the meat has reached a safe internal temperature.
After you remove the meat from your grill, allow it to rest for a specified amount of time. During the rest
time, its temperature remains constant or continues to rise, which destroys harmful bacteria.
• Hot foods should be held warmer than 140º F.
• Cold foods should be held below 40º F.
• Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature - 1 hour when the
temperature is above 90º F.
• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA.
See page 22 for USDA safety guidelines.

A few simple steps will ensure that your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER will give you many years of
service with minimal effort.
• Clean your fire pot every 3-5 cooks to ensure proper airflow.
• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grate after every cook to provide years of trouble free use
from them. NOTE: Make sure that no bristles have shed and remain on cooking grate.
• Cover your drip tray with aluminum foil and change it frequently. This is the simplest way to main-
tain your drip pan. If you have completed a low and slow cook that has caused the accumu-
lation of grease on your foil, you must change the foil before cooking at high tempera-
tures. Failure to do so will most certainly cause a grease fire in your grill.
• Clean the ash from the interior of your grill, fire pot, and hopper every 5-6 bags of pellets. It helps
to leave a thin layer of ash on the bottom of the barrel for insulation. (A shop vac is the ideal tool
for this job.) (WARNING–always wait at least 12 hours after cooking to remove ash from
your grill.)
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill. AVOID USING CAUSTIC
CLEANERS.
• If left in exposed area, keep your grill covered and unplugged when not in use.
• Never let your pellets get wet; they will swell and jam your auger.
• If grill will not be in use for 6 weeks or more, cleaning out pellets from your hopper is recom-
mended.
• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean your grill’s outside surfaces (when completely cooled) and
then use automotive wax, per the directions.
("( PQGRSD(/$T(7$T(1#O+'K%U$'D(;;=14
Never store the grill in a small space or place in
a vehicle unless completely cool and fire is veri-
fied as extinguished.
Never move the grill while it is still hot.
Never move the grill in upright position.

Manual Start Up
In case of ignitor failure, you can start your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER manually:
1. Remove the grate, drip pan and flame deflector.
2. Clean out fire pot and place no more than 1/2 cup of pellets in the bottom. Add a small amount
of solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood shavings. (A pa-
per towel, shredded cardboard, or shredded newspaper can work as a substitute.)
If you have a torch lighter, a fire starter is not needed.
3. Light the fire starter.
4. After the pellets are burning briskly, turn on your grill. If your fire goes out, repeat steps 1-4.
5. If your fire stays lit, replace the stainless flame deflector, drip pan and cooking grate and close the
lid. Be careful not to touch the fire.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASO-
LINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHAR-
COAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR
