PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
DANGER WARNING INSTALLATION CODES
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas to the
appliance.
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Open lid.
• If odor continues, keep
away from the appliance
and immediately call your
gas supplier or your fire
department.
• Do not store or use
gasoline or other
flammable liquids or
vapors in the vicinity
of this or any other
appliance.
• An LP cylinder not
connected for use shall
not be stored in the
vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
• The installation must conform with
local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either the national fuel
gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Natural
gas and propane installation code, CSA
B149.1, or propane storage and handling
code, B149.2.
• LP gas grill models are designed for use
with a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane
Gas tank, not included with grill. Never
connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank
that exceeds this capacity.
1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP gas cylinder can be
dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas cylinder (a hot summer day, gas cylinder left
in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the
cylinder is flammable and can be explosive.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdraw. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank
valve. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion,
leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately
by a liquid propane supplier.
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance.
Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot. When the grill is not in use, ensure
regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is
attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.
4. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other
enclosure area.

3
5. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of
storage (for example, over winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and brush. Never use an open
flame to check for leaks.
6. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is
not intended for and should never be used as a heater.
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep the burner tube and portholes clean and
free from debris. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
8. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior
to being used if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied
with this gas grill. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer.
Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or
relighting. Keep all such substances and liquids well away from appliance when in use.
9. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt
to operate your grill on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas. Failure to follow this warning could
lead to fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.
10. The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the
burner tube before using the gas grill. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause
explosion and/or fire.
11. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
12. The LP gas tank must have a shutoff valve, terminating in an LP gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible with a Type
1 tank connection device. The LP gas tank must also have a safety relief device that has a direct connection with the vapor
space of the tank.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,
to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill
being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
1. A minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 914 mm (36 inches)
from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible
floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by
authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This wood pellet
appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power
cord from the connected outlet. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of
an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does
occur, call the Fire Department.
2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water
source.

4
3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air
blockage around the fan intak, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is
required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high
humidity, care should be taken to insure that water does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high
humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before
performing any service or maintenance.
Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that
the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.
4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not
specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under
the barbecue.
5. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped
with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by
Customer Care or an authorized dealer.
This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction
by a person responsible for their safety.
6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or Burn Pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will
void your warranty.
8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed 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 ashes are disposed by
burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
At time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards
to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute .
Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over
the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot
or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and
maintain the burn area, moisture affected pellets, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the Burn Pot is overfilled with pellets. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF,
let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.
If creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away
any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon
monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless
gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. 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 system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the ignitor draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. Each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.

With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake.
One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling. As a pellet grill uses natural
wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.Throughout this
manual, you will notice the emphasis on grilling food slowly at LOW or MEDIUM temperature settings.

With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time
needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss® units should keep a minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) from combustible
constructions and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under
an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.

As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your
grill throughout the cooler months:
• If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.
• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your
grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in
relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log
or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to
help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.
• Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be
flexible with your serving time; add extra cooking time each time you open the lid.
• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
• Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey.
Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.

As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill
throughout the hot months:
• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups. Even in hot weather it is still
better to cook with the lid of your grill down.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat
from over cooking and drying out.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up
newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the thermometer. All temperatures listed below
are approximate and are affected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of
wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.
Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill. Hot smoking ,
another name for low and slow cooking, is generally done between 82-125C / 180-257F. Hot smoking works best when longer
cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.
TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to a low temperature range immediately after putting your food on the
grill. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meats.
The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs
prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect!

Located inside the Main Barrel, on the left side wall, is the Grill Probe. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless steel. The Grill
Probe measures the internal temperature of the unit. When the temperature is adjusted on the Control Board, the Grill 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.
•  
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.
HIGH TEMPERATURES
205-260°C / 401-500°F
This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. The air circulates around the barrel,
resulting in fan-forced convection heat. High temperature is also used to burn-off the cooking
grids and to achieve high heat in extreme cold weather conditions.
MEDIUM TEMPERATURES
135-180°C / 275-356°F
This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing off that slow smoked creation. Cooking
at these temperatures will greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Great range for
cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.
LOW TEMPERATURES
82-125°C / 180-257°F
This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more
smoke flavor and keep your meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known
as low and slow ). Recommended for the big turkey at Thanksgiving, juicy ham at Easter, or
the huge holiday feast.

• From the side of the cart, place foot ring of gas cylinder
onto the gas cylinder bracket. Note Fig. A.
• Use the gas cylinder wire retainer to secure the gas
cylinder in a fixed position. Note Fig. B.
2. On all units, it is important to ensure the gas cylinder is
completely upright, as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the
gas cylinder is not installed properly.
3. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by
turning the knob clockwise to the "Off" position.
4. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas
cylinder to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1
connection per ANS Z21.81).
5. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until
firm. Hand-tighten only. Note Fig. C.
6. Gas cylinder is now installed.
The outdoor grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electrical Code ANS/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the
cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
5. The LP gas cylinder used must have a collar to protect the gas cylinder valve.
6. Always keep the LP cylinder at 90 degrees (upright) orientation to provide vapor withdrawl.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low
volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise
is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow
device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill.

Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor of grilling. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your
food and be dangerous. Important: If a grease fire occurs, close the lid and turn the burner knob(s) to "Off" until grease burns out.
Be careful when opening the lid as a sudden flare-up may occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do not pour water onto the flames.
CAUTION: Putting out grease fires by only closing the lid is not possible. Excessive flare-ups result from
build-up of grease in the bottom of your grill.
1. If a grease fire develops, turn Burner Knobs to the "Off" position, LP gas tank valve CLOSED. Do not use water on a
grease fire. This can cause grease to splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.
2. Do not leave the grill unattended while preheating or burning off food residue on HIGH. If grill has not been cleaned, a
grease fire can occur.
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily accessible. In the event of an oil/
grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT
attempt to extinguish with water.
MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS
• Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking.
• Cook high fat content meats on LOW setting or indirectly.
• Ensure that your grill is on a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into the grease
receptacle.
