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.
The auger must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the fire pot. If not primed, the
ignitor will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Open the Main Barrel lid. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom
of the main barrel. Check the fire pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition.
2. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the Power button to Power On the unit. Check the following items:
• That you can hear the auger turning. 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 ignitor burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the
fire pot. The ignitor tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the ignitor.
3. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
4. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all
natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
5. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on again. The grill start-up cycle has a preset temperature of 176°C / 350°F, so it
will begin to heat up. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets on the inside of the grill from the auger tube.
Once pellets begin to drop into the fire pot, release the Prime Button.
6. Press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
7. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel. 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 any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill
and rid it of any foreign matter.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the fire 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 the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn,
the ignitor will begin to glow and the fan will supply air to the fire pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the
start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid must remain open during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has
begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being produced.
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your
desired temperature!

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

1. When finished cooking, with the main barrel lid remaining closed, press and hold the the Power Button for three seconds
to Power-down the unit. The grill will begin its automatic cool-down cycle. The auger system will stop feeding fuel, the
flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete.
