Initial Setup Procedure
Before cooking for the first time, we recommend that you remove the cooking grate and wash it with
mild soap and water. Fill your hopper at least halfway up and place a small handful of pellets into
the firepot (about a 1/4 cup of pellets). Do not over fill the firepot. Reinstall the grate, shut the lid
and set grill to 400°F. Once the grill reaches 400°F, let run with the lid down for 1 hour. This will
provide a final cure and remove any residue that may have accumulated during manufacturing and
shipping. After this initial burn, your auger and firepot are primed, and your grill is ready for
cooking.
Operating Your Grill
Power Button:
Press power button to turn grill on and adjust temperature knob to desired temperature.
•Turning the grill ON activates the automatic startup mode and illuminates the digital readout.
• If your grill fails to light itself within 30 minutes of startup, the Smart Grill Technology™ processor
will turn the grill off and display ER-2 on the screen.
• Pressing the power button again activates the shut down mode of your grill. If grill’s actual
temperature is below 160°F, pressing the power button will simply turn the grill off.
•When the power button is used to shut down your grill, the Smart Grill Technology™ processor
will stop adding pellets to the firepot and the fan will continue running to completely burn the
pellets remaining in the firepot. During this cooling process, the display screen will display FAN.
Shortly thereafter, the display screen will change to display AUG - this will push out any embers
left in the auger tube into the firepot where they can bun safely. Because of this, it is normal for
your grill to smoke for 15 or more minutes after shut down. Do not empty ash dump until fully
cooled. Do not deploy ash dump in an attempt to stop grill from smoking. Do not move until fully
cooled.
Temperature Control: Use temperature knob to select computer maintained temperature in 25°
increments from 225°F-500°F and 50°F increments from 500°F- 750°F.
Additional Temperature Settings: LO and FUL
LO: Dropping the grill temperature under 225°F will cause the screen to display LO. This setting
is not an exact temperature, but rather the lowest temperature the grill can achieve. This will
largely depend on outside factors, such as ambient temp/type of pellets.
Temperatures will typically range 200°F - 225°F.
FUL Mode: Turning temperature knob clockwise beyond 750°F will cause the screen to display
FUL: This setting is not an exact temperature, but rather the highest temperature the grill can
achieve. This will largely depend on outside factors, such as ambient temp/type of pellets.
Temperatures will range 750°F - 1000°F.

Adjustable Parameter 1: Min Feed Rate - Min Feed Rate is the
minimum rate that the auger is allowed to feed fuel to the firepot,
regardless of Set Point. Decreasing the value will allow the grill to
achieve lower temperatures, but will increase the risk of flame-outs.
Increasing the value will prevent losing fire but will limit your ability
to maintain low temperatures on hot, sunny days. Note: Changing
this does not change the auger speed. The auger speed is constant.
Turning the Temperature Control Knob clockwise will increase, and
turning counterclockwise decrease, the value within the range of 5 -
250. (Factory preset: 20
Adjustable Parameter 2: Temperature Offset - Your grill has
been precisely calibrated at our facility, but the Temperature Offset
allows you to customize how your controller will operate. Should
you choose to rely on a secondary temperature probe, you can use
the following process to recalibrate your Smart Grill Technology™
Controller. Adjustable Parameter 2 will display OFS.
Additionally, the current temperature offset percentage value will be
displayed. Turning the Temperature Control Knob clockwise will
increase, and turning counterclockwise decrease, the value within
the range of -25.0 to 25.0. (Factory preset: 0

Operating Your Grill
Settings Button: Press and hold the settings button to access the adjustable parameters menu. Short
presses of the settings button will scroll through the adjustable parameters. Pressing and holding the settings
button will exit the adjustable parameters menu.
Due to varying qualities of pellet brands, we give you the ability to adjust your minimum feed
rate downward in the event that your grill is running hot at lower temperatures. However, if
you experience a sudden loss, followed by an immediate increase in grill temperature, then
your grill has experienced a flame out and will automatically relight. This signifies that your
minimum feed rate was adjusted too low and needs to be increased.
Test Mode
Test Mode: With grill OFF, press and hold the Settings Button to enter the Adjustable Parameters
Menu. Enter Test Mode from either of the three screens: AUG, OFS, Pr by pressing the Power

Tips, Tricks, and Temps
Preheating
It is important to allow your grill to preheat to achieve your desired cooking temperature before
cooking. This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature
once your food is introduced. If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a
longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to your desired cooking temperature. It is
important to leave the lid closed during preheating.
Pellet Information
Ultimate Blend premium hardwood pellets contain approximately 8,200 BTUs of heat per pound
and leave less than 1% ash residue. Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet pellets will swell
and turn back into packed sawdust. For the best results, always use premium hardwood pellets in
your grill. The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in temperature
variations, uneven cooking, excessive ash, and poor results. Remember, pellets do not contain
preservatives and will deteriorate over time.
Caution: Some wood pellets produced for heating fuel have a high content of softwood which
can include pitch and should not be used for cooking. Always check with the pellet manufacturer
to ensure that you are cooking with a premium, 100% hardwood pellet.

Tips, Tricks, and Temps
• Always use grill on a level surface.
• Check and empty firepot regularly; this will ensure proper ignition and heat output.
• Not all pellets are created equal; always use dry and fresh pellets.
• Always store pellets in a dry area.
• Get to know your grill and keep thorough cooking notes, this will help with consistency.
• Practice makes perfect.
• Always allow your meat to rest before serving.
• Always keep your cooking area clean.
• Avoid lifting the lid more than necessary.
• Wind can cool your grill temperature.
• Always preheat grill to desired temperature before use.
• Wipe off stainless steel surfaces before preheating; dirt and food stains can cook into surface.
• Always check pellet hopper for debris and remove excess pellet dust as needed.
• Leave at least one inch of clearance between food for even cooks (crowded foods will take
longer to cook).
• Foods cooked in pans or containers will require more time than foods cooked directly on grate.
• Use your platinum-tipped meat probe to determine meat-doneness; never rely on time.
• Know your food’s internal temperature.
• Use long handled tongs and spatulas for turning meats; do not use plastic utensils.
• Injecting, mopping, and spritzing are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
• When going low and slow, plan for your meats to stall; larger pieces of meat tend to take
longer from160°F-180°F. Be patient.
•Never unplug your grill to turn it off.
•When not in use, unplug and cover with recteq® Premium Grill Cover.
• Always make sure grill is completely cool before covering.
Temperatures
Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked, uncured red
meats (including pork) can be pink, even when the meat has reached a safe internal temperature.
After you remove the meat from your grill, allow it to rest.
• Hot foods should be held at 140°F or warmer.
• Cold foods should be held at 40°F or colder.
• Perishable foods should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature; 1 hour when
the temperature is above 90°F.
• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA.

Maintenance & Cleaning
• Use your ash dump to clean your firepot every 3-5 cooks or after every 16 hours of cooking
time, to ensure proper airflow.
• Empty ashtray after each use. Note: remove tray slowly and ensure there are no active
embers.
• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grate after every cook for years of trouble-free use.
Note: Make sure that no bristles have shed onto the cooking grate.
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill.
•AOID UIN CAUTIC CAN! e.g.: Aax, Comet, etc.
• If left in an exposed area, keep your grill covered and unplugged when not in use.
• Never let your pellets get wet; they will swell and jam your auger.
• If grill is not used for 6 weeks or more, it is advised to remove all pellets from hopper.
• Every 5-6 bags of pellets clean the air vents that surround the grill lid with a small metal utensil.
Never store the grill in a small space or place in a vehicle unless completely cool and fire is verified
as extinguished. Never move the grill while it is still hot. Never move the grill without assistance.
Clean the ash from the firepot by using the ash dump every 3-5 cooks. It's good practice to vacuum
hopper every 5-6 bags of pellets – a shop vac is an ideal tool for this job. It also helps to leave a
thin layer of ash on the bottom of the barrel for insulation.
ANIN: Always wait at least 2 hours after cooking to use the ash dump!
If you have completed a low and slow cook that has caused the accumulation of grease in your
grill, you must clean all interior surfaces before cooking at high temperatures!
Failure to do so will most certainly cause a grease fire in your grill.
