Dangers & Warnings
FUEL—WOOD PELLETS
•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.
•Use only all natural wood pellets, designed for burning in grills.
•Do not us fuel labeled as having additives.
•At this time of printing, there is no “ tandard” for BBQ wood pellets, although most pellet mills do use the same
standards used to make “Home Heating” wood pellets. Further information on this “ tandard” can be found at
www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.
•Check with your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area and for information on what can be expected from
various brands.
•NOTE: ince Dansons Inc. has no control over the quality of pellets, that you use, we assume no liability caused by
the quality of fuel used.
CREOSOTE
•Do Not operate the appliance if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if the burngrate overfills with pellets. Push the
OFF touch pad, let the appliance cool completely, and then inspect the unit. oot or Creosote may accumulate in the
main barrel and along any air leakage or exhaust areas when the appliance is operated under incorrect conditions,
such as incorrect burn grate position, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, etc.
•oot or creosote is formed when pellets are burned without the correct amount of air to fuel. or incomplete combustion,
thus producing a tar like substance and other organic vapours that combine with expelled moisture. The smoke will
have a black color to it and the residue left behind on surfaces, will also be black in color.
•When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and out of control fire, similar to a grease fire.
•If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a LOW temperature, turn OFF the appliance, then
wipe out any formation with a hand towel. Creosote is similar to tar, when warmed it will begin to run, become like
liquid, and is easier to clean in this state.
•hould a grease or creosote fire occurs, turn “Off” the control and leave lid closed until the fire is out. DO NOT unplug
the power cord.
WARNING:
DO NOT over-fire your “LG Series Smoker”. Improper Use Can Cause Uncontrolled Fire.

Dear “Louisiana Grill” Wood Pellet Barbecue Owner:
T ank you for c oosing to purc ase a “Louisiana Grill Series” wood pellet smoking’ grill.
Cooking with your Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill is about to bring you full circle from the days of
the caveman when cooking outdoors with wood was a necessity, to cooking indoors in your
modern kitchen and now back to the great outdoors and that savory wood flavor.
Think of your “Louisiana Grill” as an extra stove available to bake, roast, grill, sear and smoke
food. Anything that can be done in your indoor kitchen can be done on your grill.
Barbecuing is a culture all on its own. Barbecuing provides a form of entertainment, which is
relaxed and casual. Your meals can be completely cooked outdoors and the chef is one of the crowd. Keep it simple,
be creative, and have some fun.
We’d like to take this opportunity to pass on a few important tips concerning grilling with wood pellets.
•Initial set-up of your “Louisiana Grill” is the most important step to ensure the efficient and
satisfactory operation of your barbecue for many years to come.
•Be diligent in your cleaning and maintenance program. Taking care of your grill will add years of life
and keep it looking great.
•Use only all natural wood pellets designed to burn in pellet grills.
•Ensure your pellet fuel stays moisture free. Open bags of fuel should be stored in an airtight container and
empty the hopper if you are not using the grill over longer periods.
Our loyal staff, valued customers, friends and our loving families have all contributed recipes to our cookbook. We
have tried to include a broad range of cuisines and styles, starting with Mom’s Great Home Cooking and many, many,
many, catering and entertaining experiences to current classics and new soon to be classics.
WE WANT YOU!
If you are interested in contributing a family favourite or competition winner,
or any recipe, (especially if it contains bacon) please share it with us.

INSTALLING THE GREASE BUCKET:
imply place the handle of the bucket into the
slot of the grease drop chute (11).
NOTE: any metal bucket and any size could also be used.
Ensure that the handle can safely clip into the
slotted grease drop.
HOOKING UP TO POWER:
AT HOME
• This appliance requires 110 Volt, 60Hz, 5amp service.
• It must use a 3 prong grounded plug.
• Both the “Deluxe Temperature Control” and “Digi-Que” controls use a 5 amp fuse to
protect the board from the igniter.
GFI Outlets
• This appliance will work on most GFI Outlets. Recommended size 15 amp.
• If your GFI outlet is highly sensitive to power surges, it will very likely trip during the ignition phase
of operation. During the ignition phase, the igniter is drawing 300—700 watts of electricity which
can be too much power for a GFI outlet to handle. The quality of the GFI does not matter, rather
the sensitivity matters. Each time a GFI trips it does increase in sensitivity.
Solution: 1. Install a brand new GFI .
2. Plug the appliance into a non-GFI outlet.
ON THE ROAD
• By disconnecting the Igniter, from the main wiring harness, your Country
moker can be run using a 12 volt , 100 watt inverter plugged into your au-
tomobile outlet. Then light your smoker using the manual method. ( found
in lighting instructions)
• If you do want to continue to use the automatic igniter, it is recommended to
use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
Tip ! After installing the bucket on the grease drop chute, install
a #3 Hitch Pin up through the drop chute. This will secure the
bucket handle and avoid those accidental bucket spills.

HowYourLG SmokerWorks101
TIP Your LG Smoker Grill can run efficiently over extended periods of time
and at different heat output levels, as long as the fuel supply is dry,
uninterrupted and timely cleaning and maintenance is performed.
 The perfect barbecue experience starts with filling your hopper (2) with all natural wood pellets.
 Press the “START” touch pad (18), this activates the “Fan” (6) which is used to cool the hopper (2),
cause the pellets to burn (8) and results in convection cooking (14). It also activates the electronic Auto Igniter
(7), and the pellet feed system (3,5).
 A motorized Auger Motor (5) and Metal Auger Shaft (3), deliver the pellets to the burn grate (8). Your Country
Smoker uses “Top Feed” technology, which means the Auger (3,5) delivers the pellets up above the burn grate (8)
and then the fuel drops into the burn grate. The strength of the auger motor (5), the metal shaft (3) and the open
design reduce the possibilities of “jams” and allows for the use of less than premium quality fuel.
 Adjusting the temperature setting on the “Digital Control Center” Board (18) sets the speed of the feed, thus the
temperature output. This control is fully adjustable, from hot smoke 170° F to 600° F searing and shows both
“Desired” and “Actual” grill and meat probe temperature readings.
 The “Electronic Auto Igniter” (7) activates until the unit reaches 150°F, igniting the pellets in the burn grate (8).
 The Combustion / Cooling fan (6) cools the hopper (16); provides combustion air to the burn grate (8); and causes
air movement in the cooking area (14), resulting in convection cooking.
 The fuel burns in the burn grate (8) hot and intense, somewhat like a forge. The fly ash is directed downward by
the “Arched Flame Broiler” (12) and can be cleaned out periodically from inside the bottom of the barrel.
 A CLOSED “Arched Flame Broiler” (12) protects the food from direct contact with the flame; gives a large hot
metal area to help evaporate the juices back into the cooking resulting in added flavor; channels excess grease
directly to a grease pail (11); and distributes the heat evenly throughout the cooking area.
 The natural smoke flavor produced by the burning pellets, the “Arched Flame Broiler” (12) and the fan induced
“Convection Cooking” (14) combine to give you the savory flavor and even cooking that is unique to pellet grills
and will win you rave reviews each time you use it.

ArchedFlameBroiler
All LG Smoker models come with a 14 gauge “Arched Flame Broiler”, designed to
withstand high temperature and give years of performance. The Arched Flame Broiler,
when closed, has been designed to keep the flame out of direct contact with your
cooking surface, thus helping to reduce the chance of flare-ups. The arched design
increases the amount of hot surface area to allowmore fats and juices from the meats
to evaporate a smoke flavor, back into meat. As well you will note the bent edges
running down the length of the back and front of the angled, arched steel, these are to
help in channeling the excess grease directly to the one end of the smoker where it is
then allowed to collect in a convenient removable pail. The unique design also directs
the majority of fly ash down toward the bottom of the barrel, while allowing for the fan
forced heated air to circulate around the barrel causing convection cooking.
Sliding the Flame Broiler OPEN allows for “Direct Flame” cooking and temperatures
as high as 1000 F.This is used to “Flame Kiss” or broil steaks, roasts, or vegetables.
AutomaticIgniter (#7)
The 300 watt electric igniter eliminates the need for messy starter fluids or gels. It is
safe and easy to start, even the little beginner “Pit Master” can start a LG Smoker. The
igniter is simply a hot rod encased in a stainless steel holder. This style of igniter has
been used throughout the pellet stove industry for years. The combustion/cooling fan
blows air into the back of the igniter assembly, surrounding the hot rod. Then the super
heated air exits through the open end, near the back of the burn grate. As the pellets
begin to heat up they eventually break out in flames, this is known as spontaneous
combustion. The igniter will stayactivated for 7-15 minutes.
If for any reason the igniter fails, you can start the grill manually.
NOTE: The igniter can be disconnected, to allow your LG smoker to run with a
minimum 100 watt inverter. (see manual starting procedures, further in this manual.)
BurnGrate (#8)
The burn grate is constructed out of stainless steel and is the heart of your grill. The
burning temperature in the grate can reach temperatures of 1700 to 2000°F. The air
holes are designed to allow the right combination of fan forced air to force the wood
pellets to burn hot and clean while grilling or allowthem to smolder and produce the
savory smoke while in the smoke temperature. The back of the burn grate has a large
oblong hole in the back to allow the hot igniter air to come through, causing the pellets to
catch fire.
NOTE: The burn grate should be checked after every MAJOR use to ensure that the
combustion air holes are not clogged and to ensure the igniter hole is clean.
BurnPot (#9)
The burn pot is used to hold the Burn Grate, the igniter assembly, and to channel the fan
forced combustion air. The pot has been designed to be moved easily to aid in cleaning
and replacement of the igniter. It is very important that the burn pot is seated and
secured properly in order to ensure proper combustion andheat output. The burn
pot needs to be pushed in tightly against the side of the barrel, and secured with a
screw into the bottom of the barrel (see installing the burn pot and diagram).
Ensure that there is no foreign matter under the burn pot that maylift it off the bottom of
the barrel. This will allow combustion air to leak out, thus reducing the heat output of
your grill.
AugerFeedSystem
The heart of the feed system is a time proven, metal auger (4) and high torque auger
motor (5). This combination allows for different quality of pellet fuels to be used while
reducing the possibilities of “jams” taking place. The metal auger design also helps in
maintaining a constant and even feed of the fuel to the fire, resulting in better and
consistent temperature control. The Auger Feed System is run by a 2 rpm motor.
(see control board, Digital Control Center, for further information).
Unique Feature

Knowledge is Power
Digital Control Center
This control is very much the same as the control on
your kitchen oven. The main advantages ar the ability to
automatically compensate for the different ambient
conditions and fuel types allowing for longer, carefree
bbq as well as the Programmable Meat Probe function.
Remember: Much like your kitchen oven, the ACTUAL
temperature does fluctuate up and down depending on
weather, the flavor of pellets being used, and the
amount of food on the grill.
Programmable Meat Probe
Designed using the latest in solid state electronics, the Digital Control Center now makes
it even easier for anyone to slow smoke, bake or sear like a professional “Pitmaster”. Not
only will the control give you the ability to set and automatically maintain your desired
cooking temperature (170 °F Hot Smoke to 600 °F Searing) just like your indoor oven, but
now with the addition of a separate food probe, it will cook your food to your desired
internal temperature, then adjust the control to a “keep warm” temperature. Along with the
true convection cooking within the grill, keeping your culinary delight from drying out, all
you have to do is to set it, then relax or even sleep soundly, while the Digital Control
Center will do the rest.
This screen is used to display that there is no internal (meat) connected to the Digital
Command Center, when the meat probe selection has been active.
ON / OFF TOUCH PAD
This pressure sensitive touch pad is used to turn the control “ON”, which initiates the Automatic “START-UP”
Mode. This is also used to turn the control “OFF”, or activate the “SHUT DOWN” MODE.
PRIME TOUCH PAD
This touch pad performs the same function as it has with any Louisiana Grills board. Asked for from the
competition cookers. When the touch pad is pressed and held, the FUEL FEED system will turn and feed
more pellets to the burn grate. This can be used to add more fuel just before opening the grill lid, resulting in
a quicker heat recovery time. It can also be used to add more fuel, while smoking, to increase the amount of
clean smoke flavor intensity.
COOK TEMPERATURE UP and DOWN TOUCH PAD
By pressing either the UP or DOWN arrows, the LED read-out can be moved by 5 degree increments.
The temperature can be set as low as 170°F, for hot smoking to a high of 600°F, for searing your steaks and
hamburgers. Also used with the meat probe.
LED DISPLAY SCREEN
This screen is used to display temperature readouts, as well as displaying error messages, and
power up readouts. Temperatures can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
By pressing the TEMP display touch pad, the LED display screen will show and allow movement in either the
“ACTUAL” temperature read out or the “SETPOINT” or desired temperature. The small LED beside both
settings is used to indicate which temperature is presently being displayed.
Temp
PROBE SELECTION
By pressing the PROBE display touch pad, the LED display screen will show and allow movement in either
the “GRILL” probe temperature read outs or the “MEAT” probe temperature readings. The small LED beside
both settings is used to indicate which probe temperature is presently being displayed.

FanCooledHopper
The entire line of LG SERIES Smokers utilize the exact same hopper and component
parts. To increase the life of your grill and its main working component parts the
Combustion / Cooling fan is used to perform 3 main functions:
1. Pressurize the internal hopper compartment to cool the wiring, electrical
component parts and the wood pellets.
2. Forces constant air movement between the hopper and the grill barrel wall.
Because of higher temperatures needed for searing and because of the longer
length of time a pellet grill can operate, such as slow smoking a whole hog, air
movement is used to provide an air barrier between the two surfaces.
Ensure the air slots found on the front and back of the hopper do not get
blocked off, at any time.
3. To provide combustion air, allowing the pellet fuel to burn properly. The fan
forced air is then used to provide “Convection Cooking” within the smoking grill.
Convection cooking locks in the juices and distributes the heat evenly
throughout the grill resulting in that savory flavor and near perfect cooking.
PowderCoatFinish
Louisiana Grills uses a “High Heat Powder Coat” finish throughout the entire line of the
Smokers. This High Heat finish is rated for 1000°F. This is done to allow for easy and
trouble free maintenance, and adding to the life of your smoking grill. Powder coating
is environmentally friendly and produces an excellence and superiority of finish that
customers count on. Maintaining the initial appearance of a powder coating is a simple
matter. If the finish does scratch, flake, rust or just needs to be “freshened- up”
it is important to use a touch-up paint ( High Heat BBQ) to repair it as soon as
possible. (see maintenance for further detail)
GreaseCatcher
All LG Smokers use the “Arched Flame Broiler” system that channels any excess
grease, that does not evaporate, directly to a sealed grease catch area. From here any
excess grease is directed to the drop spout where it is disposed in, an easy to clean or
replace, metal bucket. The metal handle of the bucket simply hooks on the notched
out grove of the grease spout. Allow the grease to cool before removing the pail.
TIP: if you want to replace your grease fill bucket with a new one, save any small
metal buckets that you acquire from yard candles, etc. .
START-UP mode
Allows electricity to flow to all the electrical components for 20 minutes. This is a software set program that will
automatically start the combustion/cooling fan, the igniter and the feed system at a preset rate, until the grill probe reaches
a temperature of 150°F. Once met, the igniter will shut off and the feed rate is controlled by the control board..
If for any reason the 150°F is not reached in 20 minutes, the control will turn OFF and an ER-2 will display on the screen.
SHUT DOWN mode
When finished “Savoring the Flavor”, simply push the OFF touch pad. The control will turn off only the feed system,
allowing the fan to continue to run not only to burn out the fuel, clean and efficiently, but also to cool down the grill. When
the grill probe reaches 130°F the control will shut off completely.

TIP Always store your pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact or exposure to
moisture. This will cause the pellets to absorb the moisture and will
result in lower BT output or cause the pellets to swell and break apart.

100% Natural Hardwood Wood Pellets
They are no thicker than the eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see them for the first time
think they look like rabbit food, but there is nothing small about the heat energy or flavor in a wood
pellet. These clean burning wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash
(.3lb/40lb bag) and low moisture content (5-7%) and are “carbon neutral”.
Barbeque wood pellets are produced in the same matter as wood pellet fuel is produced for home
heating, PFI tandard Premium Grade (see pelletheat.org). Pure raw material (sawdust) is
pulver-ized with a hammer-mill and the material is pushed through a die with pressure. As the
pellet is forced through the die it is sheared off at a specific maximum length, cooled, screened,
vacuumed, and then bagged into 20 or 40 lb. bags.
BBQ wood pellets differ from smoking pellets, used in gas or propane grills, in that most are a
combination of the main flavor and a neutral flavor.
