HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE

These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited, and each time the grill runs out of pellets in the hopper:
1. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill.
2. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the auger or hopper.
3. With the temperature dial in the OFF position, plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Turn the temperature dial to the SMOKE position. Check the following items:
• That the auger is turning. Do not place fingers or objects in the auger tube. This can cause injury.
• Place your hand above the fire pot and feel for air movement. Do not place your hand or fingers inside the fire pot.
This can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burn off and begin to feel the air getting warmer. The
igniter tip does not glow red hot. Do not touch the igniter. This item gets extremely hot and will burn.
5. Turn the temperature dial to OFF.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural barbecue wood pellets.
7. Turn the temperature dial to SMOKE. Wait approximately 3 minutes for the pellets to start dropping into the firepot from
the auger tube. Once pellets begin to drop into the fire pot, turn the temperature dial to OFF, and let the grill cool down.
8. After grill has cooled, re-install the cooking components into grill. The grill is now ready to use.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off.
Start the grill and operate at high heat (over 233°C / 451°F) with the lid down for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid it
of any foreign matter.

PREHEATING

It is important to allow your grill to preheat before every cook session. This allows the grill and cooking grids to heat up quicker,
kill off bacteria and other pathogens leftover from past grill sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its cooking temperature
once your food is placed in the cooking area. Preheat with the lid closed.
IMPORTANT: The outside ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of wood pellets will all affect your cooking
temperature. Observe the time it takes to reach your desired temperature, and adjust your cooking time as needed.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Ensure the temperature dial is in the OFF position. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
2. Check burn pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign
objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill hopper with dry, barbecue hardwood pellets.
3. Open the barrel lid. The lid must remain open during the start-up cycle.
4. Turn the temperature dial to SMOKE. 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 fire pot. The grill will produce smoke while the start-up cycle
is taking place. The pellets will have ignited once the smoke has cleared. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly,
listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being produced.
5. Preheat your grill. Close the lid. Turn the temperature dial to 177°C / 350°F, to allow the unit to preheat for approximately
15 to 20 minutes.
6. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your grill!
IMPORTANT: When selecting a SMOKE setting after a temperature dial preset (such as preheating at high heat),
the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets for four minutes. This will momentarily raise the temperature,
but temperature will decrease and stabilize once the "P" setting cycle begins (approximately five to ten minutes).
