Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure

you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new wood pellet grill. We also advise you retain this manual

for future reference.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS

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

to obtain the necessary permits, mission 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 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 305mm (12 inches)

from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an

enclosed, unventilated area. This wood 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.

Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Do not 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.

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

around the fan intake or rear barrel exhaust holes. 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, wood pellets will expand greatly,

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

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.

5. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped

with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by

Customer Service or an authorized dealer.

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.

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

7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will

void your warranty.

ENGLISH

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

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.

WOOD PELLET FUEL

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

this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural wood pellets, designed for burning in pellet

barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives.

Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.

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

to make wood 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, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

CREOSOTE

Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot

or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: incorrect position of the burn grate, blockage of the

combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.

It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When

ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF,

let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.

If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away

any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon

monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,

nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or 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 circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

SAFETY LISTING

In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in the UL Subject 2728-2009 "pellet fuel

cooking appliances" and / 272 and Canadian  22.2 #3 "for electrical features of fuel

burning equipment." Pit Boss Grills pellet cooking appliances have been independently tested and

listed by Intertek (an accredited testing laboratory) to , ,  and  standards.

This appliance requires 110 volt, 60hz, 275w, 5 amp service. It must be a

3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before

use. The control uses a 5 amp, 120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the

board from the igniter.

•

 

This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended

size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power

surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During

the start-up phase, the igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity

which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. Each time it

trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the

outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.

•

  

Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual

start-up procedure. A Pit Boss unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt

inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic

igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.

With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat

intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling. As a pellet

grill uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.

Throughout this manual, you will notice the emphasis on grilling food slowly at LOW or MEDIUM temperature settings.

 

    

With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time

needed to perfect your meals.

All Pit Boss units should keep a minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions, and this clearance

must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or

overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

  

As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of

smoked foods will help cure your winter blues.

Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:

• If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.

• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your

grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in

relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!

• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log

or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to

help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.

• In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.

• Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be

flexible with your serving time; add about 10 – 15 minutes extra cooking time each time you open the lid.

• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.

• Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey.

Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.

• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat

from over cooking and drying out.

• Even in hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.

• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up

newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

  

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the thermometer. All temperatures listed below

are approximate and are 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.

This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the flame broiler (slide plate) for indirect or

direct flame cooking. With the

flame broiler open

, direct flame is used to create those “blue” steaks, as well as flame-

kissed vegetables, garlic toast or s’mores! When the

flame broiler is closed

, the air circulates around the barrel, resulting

in convection heat. High temperature is also used to preheat your grill, burn-off the cooking grids, and to achieve high heat

in extreme cold weather conditions.

This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing off that slow smoked creation. Cooking at these temperatures will

greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Ensure that the flame broiler slider in the closed position, covering the

slotted openings. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.

•

  80125° / 176257°

This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more smoke flavor and keep your

meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known as

low and slow

). Highly recommended for the big turkey

at Thanksgiving, juicy ham at Easter, or the huge holiday feast.

Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill.

Hot smoking

another name for

low and slow

cooking, is generally done between 80-125C / 176-257F. Hot smoking works best when

longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.

TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to  (low) temperature range immediately after putting your food

on the grill. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meats.

The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs

prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect!

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  position, plug the power cord into a power source.

4. Turn the temperature dial to the  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 .

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

7. Turn the temperature dial to . 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 , 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.

    

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.



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.

: 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.

1. Ensure the temperature dial is in the  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 . 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).

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE

If for any reason your electric igniter fails, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.

1. Turn the temperature dial to the  position. Open the lid. Remove the cooking components from the grill. Remove all

unburnt pellets and ash from the burn pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it will be extremely hot.

2. Once all parts are removed and cleaned, turn the temperature dial to SMOKE. Check the following:

• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn pot and feeling for heat.

• Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the burn pot.

• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot.

• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for it.

3. If any of the above points are not working, follow

objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill hopper with dry, all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.

3. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into

the burn pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount

of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another

small amount of pellets over the burn pot.

NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.

4. Light the contents of the burn pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.

Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn pot. This can cause injury.

5. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the barrel. The lid must remain open during the

1. When finished cooking, turn the temperature dial to 177°C / 350°F and close the lid. Let your grill run for 5 to 10 minutes

to go through its normal cleaning method. If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the grill to burn-

off for an extra 10 to 20 minutes. This will reduce the chance of causing a grease fire for the next start-up.

2. Once the grill burn-off is complete, keep the lid closed and turn the temperature dial down to 93°C / 200°F for five

minutes to allow any pellets to burn out.

3. After five minutes, with the lid remaining closed, turn the temperature dial to . The grill will begin its automatic cool-

Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing the grill and

cooking grids to self-clean by running the grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning and

maintenance tips to service your grill:

 

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

NOTE: Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets,

sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.

• Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper access

panel is removed (see

Electric Wire Diagram

for diagram), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan

blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.

 

• It is recommended to clean your burn pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard

build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.

• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. 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. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,

keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the grill

off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.

• Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.

IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.

 

• Wipe your grill down after each use. 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 rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the finish,

all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.

• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A 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.

They appear no thicker than the eraser on the end of a pencil. People who see them for the first time think they look like rabbit

food; however, there is nothing small about the heat or flavor in barbecue wood pellet fuel. These clean-burning barbecue wood

pellets generate about 8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content (5-7%), and are carbon neutral.

Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being pulverized with a hammer-mill, and the material is

pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced through the die, it is cut, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged

for consumer use. Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area.

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.

Practice makes perfect.

The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after Pink

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

TIP: 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 minutes,

depending on the size of the protein.

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Pit Boss owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to become more

familiar with your grill:

 

• Keep everything in the kitchen and cooking area clean. Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than

the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination of

bacteria. Each marinade or basting sauce should have its own utensil.

• Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below 3ºC / 37ºF).

• A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure

to bring it to a boil before serving.

• Cooked foods should not be left out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration

for more than two hours.

• Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria

can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting

any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.

 

• When switching from a high temperature to a low temperature, lift the lid and leave it open until the actual

temperature is close to your desired temperature. This speeds up the process and ensures the fire will not go out.

• Be prepared, or

Mise en Place

. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all

ingredients you require at grill side before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before

lighting the grill.

• A BBQ floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a BBQ floor mat would protect

a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.

   

• To infuse more smoke flavor into your meats, cook longer and at lower temperatures (also known as

low and slow

Meat will close its fibers after it reaches an internal temperature of 49ºC / 120ºF. Misting, or mopping, are great ways

to keep meat from drying out.

• While searing your meats, cook with the lid down. Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal

temperature of the foods you are cooking. Smoking foods with hardwood pellets will turn meats and poultry pink.

The band of pink (after cooking) is referred to as a

smoke ring

and is highly prized by outdoor chefs.

• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.

• Leave open space between the foods and the extremities of the barrel for proper heat flow. Food on a crowded grill

will require more cooking time.

• Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing

utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape.

• Foods in deep casserole dishes will require more time to cook than a shallow baking pan.

• It’s a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and

roasts, benefit from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface

by heat to ease back to the center of the meat, adding more flavor.
