You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the

necessary permits, permissions, or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill being installed on a

combustible surface, inspection requirements, or even ability to use, in your area.

1. A minimum clearance of 914mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 914mm (36 inches) from

the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible floors, or

floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having

jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages. This

hardwood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and

free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

WARNING: Be aware of building combustible material, maintain the fire to avoid over-firing. Should a grease fire occur,

turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on the unit.

Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an

uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.

2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water source. If

the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similar qualified persons in order to avoid

a hazard.

3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn pot for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage

around the fan intake or chimney. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If

the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water

does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high humidity, hardwood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may

jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.

IMPORTANT! Always power off the appliance and allow the shut-down cycle to run. Unplug the appliance only once the

shut-down cycle is complete, and/or before cleaning. Failure to follow this warning can cause damage, serious injury, fire,

electric shock, or death.

WARNING: Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the

grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.

4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified for

use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue. Remove

pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.

WARNING: This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for

their safety.

5. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.

6. Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pot. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your

warranty.

7. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible

floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or

otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural hardwood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in

this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. Use only wood pellet fuel specified by the manufacturer. Do not use pellet fuel

labeled as having additives. Hardwood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an airtight container. If

you are storing your grill, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all pellets from your grill's hopper and auger, to

prevent jams. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 18,569-20,362 KJ/KG (8,000-8,770 BTU/LB), ash content < 1%.

WARNING: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen

up’ a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.

At the time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue hardwood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards

to make hardwood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.

Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area, and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality

of pellets used, moisture affected pellets, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

Creosote - formation, and need for removal. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue that is also black in color. When wood

pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote

vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the

flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.

The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when the grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When

grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.

Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family or others:

• Know the symptoms of carton monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.

Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide

poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.

• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circu-

latory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not

primed, the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:

1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.

2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.

3. Plug the power cord into a power source.

4. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will initiate the start-up cycle.

• Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement.

DO NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.

• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer

above the burn pot. The igniter tip does not glow red but will get extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch

the igniter.

5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.

6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.

7. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will initiate the start-up cycle.

8. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot. Now you can release

the Prime Button.

9. You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the cool down

cycle. Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shutdown cycle and it is safe to unplug your grill.

10. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel.

11. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first use of the grill, proceed with a grill burn-off.

Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results

based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what

you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the

results. Adjust to your taste for the next time. As you become familiar

with your grill, it is wise to place an outdoor thermometer close to your

cooking area. Practice makes perfect.

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly

match the thermometer. The cooking temperature is affected by

the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount

and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the

lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.

Follow these steps for regular use of your grill:

1. Confirm the auger is primed. If not, prime the auger.

2. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. (A)

3. Open the hopper lid to check your level of pellets. Refill with all

natural barbecue hardwood pellets if needed. (B)

4. Check the buckle latch on the bottom of the main barrel to ensure

it is fastened (locked) to secure the burn pot. (C)

5. Open the grill lid. (D)

6. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on (E). This will activate

the start-up cycle:

• The auger feed system will begin to turn, and the fan will

supply air to the burn pot.

The lid must remain open during the start-up cycle.

• The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle

is taking place (F). To confirm the start-up cycle has begun

properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being

produced.

7. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is

complete. Close the grill lid. Turn the Controller Knob to your de-

sired temperature and start grilling! (G)

Once your auger has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill

burn-off to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.

1. Follow Regular Use instructions to turn the unit on.

2. Turn the Controller Knob to any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes.

3. Follow Shut-down instructions to turn the unit off, or proceed with grilling at your desired temperature.

Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on time and temperature. The art of hot

smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural hardwood flavor (and a sought-after smoke ring) on

your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.

For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into

the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 min-

utes, depending on the size of the protein.

Using the SMOKE preset (commonly referred to as Smoke Mode) allows the user to directly control the cycle rate of

pellets that feed the burn pot. Selecting Smoke Mode allows the user to directly control the cycle rate of pellets that

feed the burn pot. In Smoke Mode, the auger can run a manual cooking mode based on the P Setting value selected.

The default P-setting value is P-4. On this setting, such as the start-up cycle, the grill will feed pellets for 18 seconds and

pause for 115 seconds. In most instances, you will want to keep the P-setting on the default.

This cooking preset is also very useful when cooking at low temperatures when the unit is highly affected by the ambi-

ent outdoor weather. Since extreme weather conditions can affect the internal cooking temperature of the grill, learning

to use the "P" setting value based on your geographical location is advantageous.

IMPORTANT: Do not push the "P" SET button too hard, as this may cause damage. Only a light push is needed.

Follow the P-setting chart below:

Raising the P Setting to P-5, P-6, or P-7 increases the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn pot. A

higher P Setting is useful in warmer or hot environments that want to hot smoke but the ambient outdoor temperature

amplifies the cooking temperature inside the grill.

Note: Monitor your burn pot closely, as raising the P-setting too high or too quickly may cause the fire to die

out completely.

Lowering the P Setting to P-3, P-2, P-1, or P-0 will decrease the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn

pot. A lower P Setting is used to compensate for cooler temperatures where the ambient outdoor temperature reduces

or weakens the intensity of heat produced inside the grill. Lowering the P Setting can also minimize temperature swings

in varying outdoor weather conditions.

Follow these steps to safely turn off your grill:

1. Press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn the unit

off. (A)

• 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.

2. Once the shut-down cycle is complete (fan turns off), unplug the

power cord. (B)

IMPORTANT! Always power off the appliance and allow the

shut-down cycle to run. Unplug the appliance only once the

shut-down cycle is complete, and/or before cleaning. Failure

to follow this warning can cause damage, serious injury, fire,

electric shock, or death.

 

Switching Temperature Units

1. Press and hold the "P" set button for two

seconds, and the temperature unit will

change from Fahrenheit (ºF) to Celsius (ºC).

2. Repeat to switch back to Fahrenheit (ºF).

Meat Probe Tips

The meat probe measure the internal temp-

erature of your meat in the grill, similar to your

indoor oven. More meat probes means more

readouts!

• Place a meat probe into the thickest portion

of your meat.

• When not in use, disconnect from the meat

probe connection port and place aside to

keep protected and clean.

Overheat Protection

• If the grill overheats, it will automatically

produce an error code and shut-down as a

safety feature. This is often due to a grease

fire or an overfeed of fuel.

• See troubleshooting for more details.

Prime for Quick Recovery

Use the Prime Button to activate an extra feed of

pellets to the burn pot.

• This can be used to add more fuel to the fire

before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a

quick heat recovery time.

• Use when low smoking, to increase the in-

tensity of clean smoke flavor. A extra feed of

pellets will add a burst of smoky goodness!

Low Fire Warning

• If the fire in the burn pot is at risk of going

out, the ACTUAL temperature readout will

flash, as a warning feature.

• Add more fuel to the hopper, or see trouble-

shooting for more details.

Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with

minimum cleaning. Follow these tips to service your grill:

Grill Interior

• At the bottom of the grill barrel is an ash cleanout feature, giving

you easy access to the inside of your fire box to easily clean it as

often as needed. To empty, release the buckle latch on the ash box

hook. While holding the handle, slide the ash box away from the

buckle, then pull down to remove. Once emptied, replace the ash

box by lifting it back into the bottom of the grill barrel, sliding the

ash box towards the buckle, then fastening the ash box hook with

the buckle latch. (A)

WARNING: This feature can only be operated when the grill

is cooled down.

• Use a grill cleaning brush to remove any food or build-up from the

cooking grates. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm

from a previous cook.

• Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking

components of the grill. Use the flame broiler slide plate to scrape

off the main plate, and vise-versa (B). Remove the debris from

inside your barrel with a wet/dry vacuum. For an extra deep clean,

use Pit Boss® Cleaner & Degreaser for the grill interior and exterior.

IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler

components with aluminum foil.

Grill Exterior

• Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep

in mind the type of cooking you do. (C)

• Wipe your grill down after each use (D). Use warm soapy water

to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or

abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted

surfaces are not covered under warranty, but are rather part of

general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or

flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using

a high heat BBQ paint.

• A grill cover is your best protection against weather and outside

pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit

under a cover in a garage or shed.

Probes

• Wipe your meat probe after each use. A meat probe not in use

should be rolled up in a large, loose coil. Kinks or folds in the probe

wires may cause damage. Do not place in the dishwasher or sub-

merge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a

meat probe to short-out, causing false readings. (E)

• Check and clean off any grease or debris from the grill probe

(sensor) and shield, found inside the main grill body, on the left-

side wall. (F)

• If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.

Hopper Assembly

• The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of clean-

ing and change out of pellet fuel flavors. To empty, locate the plate

and the cover of the drop chute on the back side of the hopper.

Place a clean, empty pail under the drop chute cover, then remove

the cover piece. Unscrew the plate, slide outwards, and pellets will

empty. (G)

NOTE: Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove ex-

cess pellets, sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out

through the hopper screen.

• Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if

your grill will be unused for an extended period of time. This can

be done by simply running your grill, on an empty hopper, until all

pellets have emptied from the auger tube.

• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found

on the bottom of the hopper. Once the access panel has been re-

moved, carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan

blades. Use warm soapy water to cut the soot and grease. This

ensures airflow is clean and sufficient to the feed system. (H)
