INTRODUCTION
Use only wood cooking pellets specified by the
manufacturer. It is important to use only cooking pellets
that is dry and free from dirt or other impurities. The
cooking pellet industry has established standards for
wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend that cooking
pellets used in all U.S. Stove pellet burning grills meet or
exceed the following specifications:
Use ONLY pelletized fuel formulated for cooking
Do Not Use Cooking Pellets Labeled as Having
Additives
Fines (fine particles) Max through a 1/8” screen
Bulk Density Min 40 lbs per cubic foot
Size Max 3/8” Diameter by 1-1/2”
length
Ash Content 1% Max (Premium grade)
3% Max (Standard grade)
Moisture Content 8% Max
Heat Content Min 8,200 btu’s per hour
Use only wood pellets formulated for cooking in this
pellet grill.
It is important to note that the ash content of the fuel and
the frequency of operation will determine the frequency
of required cleaning for this pellet grill. A high ash fuel
may result in daily cleaning, while a low ash fuel may
result in less frequent cleaning. Occasionally, impurities
in the fuel will cause a hard mass build up in the burn pot
of this pellet grill. Impurities, such as silica, can virtually
form little glass balls when subjected to the high heat
generated in the burn pot. When allowed to collect, a
hard base build up may block air flow through the burn
pot, which will significantly aect the performance and
eciency of this pellet grill. It is a good idea to check the
burn pot for any hard mass buildup or other blockage on
a daily basis, and if necessary, let the burn pot cool and
then clean the burn pot.
U.S. Stove Company realizes that it cannot control the
quality of cooking pellets you choose to use in your
pellet grill; U.S. Stove assumes no responsibility for
that choice.
CAUTION:
BE SURE TO STORE COOKING PELLETS A
MINIMUM OF 3 FEET (914.5mm) AWAY FROM THE
PELLET GRILL. RADIANT HEAT CAN IGNITE THE
FUEL.

• Make sure the grill is always sitting level or is slightly
tilted towards the drip pan.
ATTENTION:
ENSURE EXHAUST OPENINGS ARE CLEAN AND
CLEAR PRIOR TO EACH USE. NOTE: THE EXHAUST
OPENINGS ARE LOCATED ON REAR OF THE GRILL
LID.
STANDARD STARTUP SEQUENCE
1. Fill the hopper with pellet fuel. Never leave pellets
in the hopper and only use the minimum amount of
pellets needed for cooking. Be sure to close and latch
the hopper lid. Only burn pellet fuel that is specifically
manufactured for use in pellet grills and cookers.
2. Prime your auger press the button found on the
control panel labeled “Temp Display” When pressed,
the auger spins and feeds pellet fuel to the burn pot.
Hold the “Temp Display” button in for up to 1 minute
to prime the auger tube with pellets.
3. Open the grill lid and press the “Power” button. The grill
will automatically light 5 to 8 minutes after pressing
the “Power” button. Remember, start-up times may
vary based on outside ambient temperature and fuel
quality).
NOTE: The startup mode will last approximately 15
minutes. Excessive smoke during startup is typical.
4. Set the control board to the desired cooking
temperature using the “Cook Temp” buttons on
the control board. Temperature settings are in 5°F
increments.
5. Once the grill ignites, you can hear a flowing sound
slightly louder than the blower motor of the grill. At
this point, the grill produces significantly less smoke.
Close the grill lid once ignition has occurred.
NOTE: Allow the grill lid to remain closed during
the pre-heat and as much as possible during cook
time. Feed rates during run mode are determined by
temperature readings. Each time the lid opens, the
temperature goes down, causing the auger to feed
more. This can lead to potential overcooking of food.
6. Check the actual temperature compared to the set-
point temperature by using the “Temp Display” button
on the control board. The display button helps to
determine when the grill has preheated to the desired
cooking temperature.
NOTE: During the startup, the grill temperature can
exceed the set-point temperature. It is advisable
to keep the display in “Actual” mode to check the
temperature readings and avoid overcooking or
burning.
7. Once the grill has reached its set-point temperature,
the grill is ready to have food added.
NOTE: As previously mentioned, keep the lid closed
as much as possible to maintain constant cooking
temperature. The temperature may fluctuate slightly.
NOTICE !! During operation, the technology in this
grill’s programming learns the fuel rate needed to
sustain the selected cooking temperature. Therefore,
start-up times may vary based on outside ambient
temperature and fuel quality or type (flavored or not).
Using the “Temp Display” button may help facilitate a
quicker start-up time.
STANDARD SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE
1. To turn the grill o.
2. Press the power button.
3. The word “Cool” will show on the display, and the grill
will enter a shutdown mode. The blower will continue
to run until it has reached a safe temperature.
NOTE: Shutdown sequence can take up to 1 hour
depending on the cooking temperature and the outside
temperature.
DO NOT TURN THE GRILL OFF BY UNPLUGGING IT.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to clean and maintain this unit as described in
this manual may cause poor performance and hazardous
situations. Adjust the maintenance schedules based on
the frequency of usage to ensure the proper operation and
maximum eciency of this pellet grill. When performing
any maintenance on this grill, make sure the unit has
powered o, allowed full shutdown sequence, and then
unplugged from the power source.
Maintenance Schedule
Operation Interval
Clean main shield and small shield After Each Use
Inspect and clean burn pot After Each Use
Inspect hopper for fines (sawdust) Biweekly
Ash removal After Each Use
Inspect/clean combustion air blower Annually
Exhaust openings (rear of grill lid) After Each Use
CLEAN DRIP PAN
Note: Allow the unit to cool to ambient temperature
before inspecting or cleaning the grill.
1. Take out the large rack.
2. Scrape drippings down the grease drain and into the
grease pan provided.
3. Clean the main shield and small shield with a food-
safe de-greasing agent and ensure all the cleaning
solvents and chemicals are thoroughly rinsed o
after cleaning.
4. Empty the grease pan if necessary.
5. Reinstall the large rack.
INSPECT AND CLEAN BURN POT
Note: Allow the unit to cool to ambient temperature
before inspecting or cleaning the grill.
1. Remove the large rack, small shield, and main shield.
2. Inspect the burn pot to check that the combustion air
holes have not become plugged. If necessary, clean
thoroughly.
3. Replace the main shield, small shield, and large rack.
INSPECT HOPPER FOR FINES
Note: Allow the unit to cool to ambient temperature before
inspecting or cleaning the grill. Periodically check the
hopper for pellet dust (fines) build-up. The accumulation
of fines can reduce the eciency of the grill, increase
the chance of hopper fires, and other unsafe operating
conditions. If dust (fines) accumulate suciently,
vacuum out and reload the hopper with new pellets.
MAINTENANCE
OPERATING TIPS
• If the grill is in “Smoke” mode and change to “Cook”
mode, the temperature will automatically go to 450°F.
• Temperature control doesn’t begin to control the feed
rate for 15 minutes, due to the 15-minute start-up
sequence.
• Make sure to unplug the grill only after it has gone
through the shutdown sequence, cooled o, and is not
in use.
• DO NOT unplug the grill during use or to shorten the
shutdown sequence.
MEAT PROBE
The grills meat probe will track the temperature of the
food as it cooks without having open the grill lid several
times to test the food with an instant-read thermometer.
The correct placement of the meat probe is especially
important when cooking at a higher heat as opposed to
low and slow; because there is such a large dierence
within just one inch of space in the food. When inserting
the meat probe, avoid the bone because it will give
inaccurate readings. After inserting the probe, make sure
it is secured into place. As the thermometer nears its
target temperature, spot-check other areas to see if they
are also close. Be careful, the meat probe and its wires
are hot.
To use the meat probe, first follow the startup
instructions in this manual. Bring the grill up to the
desired temperature. Once preheating is complete, place
the meat onto the grill surface with the probe inserted
into the best section of meat. Plug the meat probe into
the display panel and push the “Temp Display” button
until both the “Actual” and “Setpoint” lights are not lit.
The temperature shown on the display will be the internal
meat temperature. Using the meat probe will prevent
the need of opening and checking the internal meat
temperature, therefore preserving heat and pellet usage.

TROUBLESHOOTING
12
© 2021 United States Stove Company

AFTER GRILL HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, THE BURN POT OVERFILLS
Possible Causes Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Grill is dirty, which restricts airflow
through the burnpot
Follow all cleaning procedures in the “Maintenance” section of the owner’s
manual.
Burnpot holes are blocked Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
Blockage in air intake pipe Visually inspect the air intake that leads into the burnpot for foreign
material.
Combustion blower is not spinning fast
enough
Clean fan blades and inspect bearings for wear. Ensure the fan is free of
any obstructions.
Bad Pellets
The brand of pellets or the batch of pellets that is being used may be of poor
quality. If possible, try a dierent brand of pellets. It is advisable to try a
brand that is made from a dierent type of wood (softwood vs. hardwood).
Dierent woods have dierent characteristics when being burned.
GRILL FEEDS PELLETS, BUT WILL NOT IGNITE
Possible Causes Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Bad igniter element
Put power directly to the igniter element. Watch the tip of the igniter from
the front of the grill. After about 2 minutes the tip should glow. If it does
not, the element is bad.
The control board is not sending power
to the igniter
Check the voltage going to the igniter during startup. It should be 110-115
volts. If the voltage is lower than full voltage, check the wiring. If the wiring
checks out good, the board could be bad.
GRILL WILL NOT FEED PELLETS
Possible Causes Possible Remedies (Unplug grill first when possible)
Temperature probe is defective Wait for the grill to cool for about 30 - 45 minutes. Check the temperature
probe to see if it’s bad. Check resistance with volt meter.
Bad auger motor
Remove the six retaining screws in the service panel. Remove the auger
motor from the auger shaft and try to run the unit. If the motor will turn,
the shaft is jammed on something. If the motor will not turn, the motor is
bad.
Auger jam
Start by emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by removing
the auger pin. Remove the two screws holding the auger bushing. Gently
pull the auger shaft straight out so that the end of the auger shaft comes
out. After the shaft is removed, inspect it for bent flights, burrs, or broken
welds. Remove any foreign material that might have caused the jam. Also,
check the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, rough spots, or
grooves cut into the metal that could have caused a jam.
Loose wire or connector Check all wires and connectors that connect to the auger motor,
temperature probe, and fan.
Bad control board
If the fuse and the wires and connectors check out good, and if the high
limit switch did not trip, test for power going to the auger motor. If there
is not a full current going to the auger motor when the fuel feed light is on,
the control board is bad.
