to cause cancer, and carbon monoxide, which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm. For more information go to For more information go to WWW.P65WARNINGS.CA.GOV.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the
necessary permits, permission, 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 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 305mm (12 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, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes, vehicles, tents, or garages. 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.
WARNING: Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the battery
charger. 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.
3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn pot for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage
around the fan intake or chimney. 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.
WARNING: 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. Build and
maintain the fire to avoid over-firing.
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.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Be aware of building combustible material, maintain the fire to avoid over-firing.
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.
9. Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.
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.
HARDWOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural, hardwood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in
this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural hardwood pellets, designed for burning in pellet
barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives. Wood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an airtight
container. If you are storing your grill, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all pellets from your grill's hopper and
auger, to prevent jams. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 18569-20362 KJ/KG (8000-8770 BTU/LB), ash content < 1%.
WARNING: 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 the 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, moisture affected pellets, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.
CREOSOTE
Creosote - formation, and need for removal. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue that is also black in color. When wood
pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote
vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the
flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when the grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When
grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.

OPERATION
CHARGER
1. 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. This appliance must not be placed under
an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang (A). Keep your grill
in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Avoid plastic table tops due to high
temperatures of the unit.
All Pit Boss® units should keep a minimum clearance of 305mm (12
inches) from combustible constructions and this clearance must be
maintained while the grill is operational. (B)
2. Parts are located throughout the shipping carton, including
underneath the grill. Inspect the grill, parts, and hardware blister
pack after removing from the protective shipping carton. Discard
all packaging materials from inside and outside of the grill before
assembly, then review and inspect all parts by assembly guide.
If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble.
Contact your dealer or Pit Boss® Customer Care for parts.
3. Assemble the unit according to assembly guide instructions.
AUGER PRIMING
First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not
primed, the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
• Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement. DO
NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer above
the burn pot. The igniter tip does not glow red but will get extremely hot and will burn. DO NOT touch the igniter.
5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7. Turn the grill on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
8. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot. Now you can release
the Prime Button.
9. You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the cool down
cycle. Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shutdown cycle, it is safe to unplug your grill.
10. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel.
11. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first time you are using your grill, you should perform a First
Initial Grill Burn-off.

FIRST USE (BURN OFF)
Once your auger has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-
off to burn-off any foreign matter on the grill.
1. Follow Regular Use instructions (below) up to Step 2 to turn the unit on.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Follow Shut-down instructions to turn the unit off or proceed with grilling at your desired temperature.
REGULAR USE
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results
based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what
you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the re-
sults. Adjust to your taste for the next time.
The cooking temperature is 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.
Follow these steps for regular use of your grill:
1. Confirm the auger is primed. If not, follow the auger priming
instruction section.
2. Insert a charged battery pack into the battery port. Turn on the
power master switch. (A)
3. Unlock the grill lid latches. Open the grill lid. (B)
4. Open the hopper lid to check the hopper level. Fill, if needed, with
dry Pit Boss®All Natural Barbecue Hardwood Pellets and close the
hopper lid. (C)
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to SMOKE (D). This will activate
the start-up cycle:
• The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will begin
to glow, and the fan will supply air to the burn pot.

PRESETS & HOT SMOKING
The art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after smoke
ring) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.
For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into the
meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 minutes,
depending on the size of the protein.

SHUT-DOWN
Follow these steps to safely turn off your grill:
1. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to OFF. (A)
• The grill will begin its automatic cool-down cycle. The auger
system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the
fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete.
2. Once the shut-down cycle is complete (fan turns off), turn off the
power master switch. (B)
IMPORTANT! Always power off the appliance and allow the shut-
down cycle to run. Pull the battery of appliance only once the shut-
down cycle is complete, and/or before cleaning. Store the battery in
a safe, dry place. Failure to follow this warning can cause damage,
serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.

OPERATION
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with
minimum cleaning. Follow these tips to service your grill:
Grill Interior
• Clean your burn pot out after every few uses. This will ensure proper
ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash. (A)
• Use a grill cleaning brush to remove any food or build-up from the
cooking grates. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from
a previous cook.
• Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
components of the grill. Use the flame broiler slide plate to scrape off
the main plate, and vise-versa (B). Remove the debris from inside your
barrel with a wet/dry vacuum. For a deeper clean, use Pit Boss Cleaner
& Degreaser inside and outside of your grill.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler
components with aluminum foil.
Grill Exterior
• Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind
the type of cooking you do. (C)
• Wipe your grill down after each use (D). Use warm soapy water to cut
the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or abrasive
cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not
covered under warranty, but are rather part of general maintenance
and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the finish, all
painted surfaces can be touched up using a high heat BBQ paint.
• A grill cover is your best protection against weather and outside
pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit
under a cover in a garage or shed.
Probes
• Wipe your meat probe after each use. A meat probe not in use should
be rolled up in a large, loose coil. Kinks or folds in the probe wires may
cause damage. Do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water.
Water damage to the internal wires will cause a meat probe to short-
out, causing false readings. (E)
• Check and clean off any grease or debris from the grill probe shield,
found inside the main grill body, on the back, left-side wall. If the
control board readout is far different from the desired set temperature,
a dirty grill probe is often the issue. Remove the grill probe shield to
access the grill probe, then wipe clean. (F)
• If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.

Hopper
• Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove leftover pellets, sawdust, and debris
to completely clean the hopper through the hopper screen.
• Running all pellets out of the auger system is recommended if your
grill will be unused for an extended period of time. This can be done by
pressing the Prime button to empty the auger tube or simply running
your grill until the hopper is empty, and no pellets remain in the auger
tube.
Air Intake
• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found
on the side of the hopper. Once the access panel has been removed,
carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the air intake vent.
This ensures airflow is clean and sufficient to the feed system. (G)
