COOKING MODE SELECTION: Note –always cook with lid closed
HIGH MODE: Allows the auger to run continuously and
creates temperatures of 400 to 500 degrees depending on
outside temperature. Allow grill to run at least 15 minutes to
obtain this temperature. This setting is normally used for short
cooking times of select meats and searing meat surfaces.
MEDIUM MODE: ALLOWS AUGER TO STOP AND START IN 2
MINUTE INTERVALS. Temperature will vary depending type of
pellets and outside air temperature(250 to 350 ). This mode is
normally used following HIGH MODE searing of meat or for
slightly longer cooking times that promote more smoke
flavoring.
LOW / SMOKE MODE: ALLOWS auger to run and stop at a
1 : 3 ratio. (160 to 225) This MODE is normally selected for
longer cooking times of larger cuts of meats. This tends to
promote smoke flavoring and tender servings. It may also be
used to keep faster cooked items warm for a period of time.
GRILL MAINTENANCE
Wipe cool grill exterior down with warm soapy water just as
you would any interior cooking appliance. High quality car
wax can be applied a couple of times a year to maintain the
finish.
Monitor grease build up on the grill interior and drip rail and
remove when any surfaces builds up exceeding 1/8 to 1/4 of
an inch to avoid grease fires.
Before lighting the grill, occasionally check ash build up in and
around the fire pot. Excessive ash can get distributed to food
and can reduce the efficiency of the fire pot. To remove ash,
use a shop vacuum on dry ash and brush with soapy water
where grease has helped to stick it to the surface.
Cover the grill with a water proof cover when not in use. Or
store under roof. Controls should not be exposed to the
elements for long periods
