Shoulda grease fire occur,turn the grill OFFand leave the lid closeduntil the fire is out. Unplug the power
cord.Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Useof an all-class(classABC)approved
fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire doesoccur,callthe FireDepartment.
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.If the supply cord is damaged,it must be replacedby the manufacturer, its serviceagent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
3. After aperiod of storage,or non-use,checkthe BurnPot for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects,and any air blockage
around the fan intake or chimney. Cleanbefore use.Regularcareand maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your
unit. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasonsof high humidity, care should be taken to
insurethat water doesnot get into the hopper. When wet or exposedto high humidity, wood pellets will expandgreatly,

DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashesshould be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Theclosed container of ashesshould be placed on a non-
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,pending final disposal.When ashesaredisposedby
burial in soil,or otherwise locally dispersed,they should be retained in a closedcontainer until all cindershave thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLETFUEL
Thispellet cooking applianceis designedand approved for pelletized,all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in
this appliancewill void the warranty and safety listing. You must only useall natural wood pellets, designed for burning in pellet
barbecuegrills. Do not usefuel with additives. Wood pellets arehighly susceptibleto moisture and should always be stored in an
airtight container.If you arestoring your grill, without use,for an extended period, we recommendclearingall pellets from your
grill's hopper and auger,to prevent jams. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 8000-8770 BTU/LB,ashcontent < 1%.
Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
Keep all suchliquids well away from the appliance when in use.
At the time of printing, there isno industry standard for barbecuewood pellets,although most pellet millsuse the samestandards
to makewood pellets for domesticuse. Furtherinformation, canbe found at
www.pelletheat.org
or the
Pellet FuelInstitute
.
Contact your localdealer on the quality of pellets in your area,and for information on brand quality. Asthere is no control over
the quality of pellets used,moisture affected pellets,we assumeno responsibility to damage causedby 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, suchas:blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and
maintain the burn area,or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this applianceshould the flame become dark, sooty, or if the Burn Pot is overfilled with pellets. When
ignited, this creosotemakesan extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a greasefire. Shouldthis happen, turn the unit OFF,
let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning.It commonly accumulatesalong exhaust areas.
If creosotehasformed 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. Similarto tar, it is much easierto cleanwhen warm, as it becomesliquid.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consideris 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 usesnatural wood pellets,the savory wood flavor is cookedinto the meats, reducing the need for high sugarcontent sauces.
Throughout this manual, you will notice the emphasison grilling food slowly at LOWor MEDIUMtemperature settings.
GRILLENVIRONMENT
1.
WHERETO SET-UP THE GRILL
With alloutdoor appliances,outsideweather conditions play a big part in the performanceof your grill and the cooking time
needed to perfect your meals.
All Pit Boss®units should keep a minimum clearanceof 914mm (36 inches)from combustible constructions, and this clearance
must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or
overhang. Keepyour grill in an areaclearfrom combustible materials, gasolineand other ammable vapors and liquids.
2.
COLDWEATHERCOOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of
smoked foods will help cureyour winter blues.
Follow these suggestionson how to enjoy your grill throughout the coolermonths:
• If smoking at low temperatures fails,increasethe temperature slightly to achievethe 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. Checklocal 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, placean outdoor thermometer closeto your cooking area.Keepa log
or history of what you cooked,the outdoor temperature,and the cookingtime. Thiswill helplater down the road to
help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• In very cold weather, increaseyour preheating time by at least 20 minutes.
• Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary.Coldgusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be
flexible with your servingtime; add extra cooking time eachtime 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, suchasroasts,whole chickens,ribs,and turkey.
Make your meal preparation even easierby adding simple items suchasvegetables and potatoes.
3.
HOT WEATHERCOOKING
Asit becomeswarmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease.
Followthese few suggestionson how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:
• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. Thishelps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
• Usea meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. Thishelps in preventing your meat
from over cooking and drying out.
• Evenin hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up
newspaperaround the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

GRILLTEMPERATURE RANGES
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.
•
HIGH TEMPERATURE(205-260°C/ 401-500°F)
This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the Flame Broiler (slide plate) for indirect or
direct flame cooking. With the
Flame Broiler open
, direct flame is used to create those “blue” steaks, as well as flame-
kissed vegetables, garlic toast or s’mores! When the
Flame Broiler isclosed
,the air circulates around the barrel, resulting
in convection heat. High temperature is also used to preheat your grill, burn-off the cooking grids, and to achievehigh heat
in extreme cold weather conditions.
•
MEDIUM TEMPERATURE(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 chancesof a grease are-up. Ensurethat the Flame Broiler Slider in the closed position, covering the
slotted openings.Greatrange for cooking anything wrapped in bacon,or where you want versatility with control.
•
LOWTEMPERATURE(82-125°C/ 180-257°F)
This range is used to slow roast, increasesmoky avor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more smoke avor and keep your
meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (alsoknown as
low and slow
).Highly recommendedfor the big turkey
at Thanksgiving,juicy ham at Easter,or the huge holiday feast.
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 82-125oC/180-257oF.Hotsmoking works best when
longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.
TIP:Tointensify that savoryflavor, switchto a low temperature range immediately after putting your food on the
grill. Thisallowsthe smoke to penetrate the meats.
Thekeyisto experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking,before the mealisnished cooking.Someoutdoor chefs
prefer to smokeat the end of a cook,allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve.Practicemakesperfect!
