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
igniter will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system at the
bottom.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom of the main barrel.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on, and turn the Temperature
Control Dial to the SMOKE position. 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 igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the
fire pot. The igniter tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the igniter.
4. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
5. Fill the hopper with all natural barbecue wood pellets.
6. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the SMOKE position. 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.
7. Press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
8. 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. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE 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 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!
