KNOW YOUR JOE
How it works …
We designed the Oklahoma Joe’s Rider DLX Pellet Grill to eortlessly deliver
delicious wood-fired smoke flavor in an incredibly versatile outdoor cooking
plaform. But before you start making great meals, we want to lay out the details
of how your new grill works, how to operate it and how to maintain it properly
so it provides years of great meals.

This cooking guide is intended to cover multiple models which may have
minor design dierences, but the same cooking system. So while your specific
product may have some elements that dier from the images you see in this
guide, the function and usage of the grill should be unchanged.

3
1. Hopper - Holds up to 20lbs of your favorite flavor wood pellets providing
fuel for hours of cooking.
2. Auger - Delivers pellets from the hopper to the fire pot.
3. Blower Fan - This fan blows fresh air onto the fire to stoke the flames.
4. Pit Control - The Pit Control system uses smart algorithms to control the
auger and fan to achieve and maintain your set cooking temperatures.
5. Fire Pot - This is where those hardwood pellets are burned to create
delicious wood-fired smoke and heat.
6. Igniter - An electric heating element ignites the wood pellets to get
the fire started.
7. Heat Bae - This serves as a barrier between the fire and your food,
designed to evenly disperse heat and smoke throughout the cook
chamber resulting in uniform cooking temps in the chamber.
8. Dual Smokestacks - Symmetrical placement of the air exhaust serves to
further improve even temps in the cook chamber.
9. Cook Chamber - Smoke and heat circulate throughout the cook chamber
creating the perfect cooking environment.

PRODUCT FEATURES

1. Pit Control 2.0 - This is the brain of your Rider DLX Pellet Grill. Afer you
set the desired cooking temp, Pit Control takes care of the rest. It is also
equipped with 2 guidance features to organize your cook:
• Timers - Can be set to show cook duration or cook time elapsed.
• Meat Probes - Indicates when internal temp of your food has
reached a set target.
2. QuickDraw Hopper - Features the Quickdraw pellet drain which empties the
entire hopper contents in seconds directly into the Pellet Storage Bucket.
This allows quick emptying of the hopper for pellet storage and for swapping
pellet flavors if desired. No screws or doors to remove or open.
3. Pellet Storage Bucket - Weather proof storage for your pellets keeps them
dry and organized. Connects to the QuickDraw hopper so you don’t make a
mess when draining your pellets.
NOTE: Pellet Bucket should not be attached to grill when grill is in use.
4. Ash Cup - Keeping your grill clean is important to optimal performance and
extends the life of your grill so we made it easy to remove ashes between
cook sessions – simply unscrew, dump ashes and reinstall for your next use.
NOTE: Never remove ash cup when grill is HOT!!
5. Heat Bae Selector - The selector allows you to shif the bae from SEAR

retention for grilling. The porcelain coating resists rust and makes them
easier to clean.

additional 328 Sq. In of cooking capacity.
9. Heat Bae - Rotating heat bae that allows switching between low

also serves as a barrier between the fire and your food, designed to evenly
disperse heat throughout the cook chamber resulting in uniform cooking
temps in the chamber. It also helps collect and drain grease away from the
hottest areas of the grill. (see page 11 for details)
