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 hardwood 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, permission, 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 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 or in an enclosed, unventilated area. 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 or 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 pot 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.

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.

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.

WARNING: Be aware of building combustible material, maintain the fire to avoid over-firing

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 Care or an authorized dealer.

ENGLISH

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. Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is

unattended, to reduce the risk of fire. 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.

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

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.

HARDWOOD PELLET FUEL

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. You must only use all natural hardwood pellets, designed for

burning in pellet barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with 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 18569-20362 KJ/KG

(8000 - 8770 BTU/LB), ash content < 1%.

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

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

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.

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. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless

gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

• 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   27282009 "pellet fuel

cooking appliances" and / 272813 "for electrical features of fuel burning equipment." Pit

This appliance requires 110-120 volt, 60Hz, 275w. It must be a 3-prong

grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off before use. The

control uses a 110-120 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

an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other

• 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

 

ENGLISH

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 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.

As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease.

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

• 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 grates, 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

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

). 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 hardwood pellet grill.

Hot smoking

another name for

low and slow

cooking, is generally done between 82-125C / 180-257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!

Anytime the temperature dial is set to SMOKE, such as the start-up cycle, the

auger will run on more of a manual mode of cooking versus using one of the

preset dial temperatures. First, the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets

for four minutes. After four minutes, the auger begins to run a feed cycle based

on the "P' setting selected on the Digital Control Board. The default setting is 4.

  

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. Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.

• 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. Turn the grill on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.

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, 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 time you are using your grill, you should perform a First Initial

Grill Burn-off.

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.

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.

  

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the 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 the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.

2. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the  position. 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 igniter will begin to glow and the fan will

supply air to the burn 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!

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE

If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps,

or start your grill using the manual method.

1. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the  position. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components

from inside. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the burn pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it

may be extremely hot.

2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on, and turn the

Temperature Control Dial in the SMOKE position. 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 a torchy roar.

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

cooking grates 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 wet/dry vacuum 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.



• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.

• Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the

internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.

 

• 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 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. 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.

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

smoke ring

) on 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.
