OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
GRILL ENVIRONMENT
1. WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRILL
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.
2. COLD WEATHER COOKING
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 cup, 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 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.
3. HOT WEATHER COOKING
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.

GRILL TEMPERATURE RANGES
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.
HIGH TEMPERATURE (205-260°C / 401-500°F)
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.
MEDIUM TEMPERATURE (135-180°C / 275-356°F)
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.
LOW TEMPERATURE (82-125°C / 180-257°F)
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 wood pellet grill. Hot smoking ,
another name for low and slow cooking, is generally done between 80-125oC / 176-257oF. 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 SMOKE (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!
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES
GRILL PROBE
Located inside the main barrel, on the back-left wall, is the grill probe. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless steel. The grill
probe measures the internal temperature of the unit. When the temperature is adjusted on the Control Board, the grill probe
will read the actual temperature inside the unit and adjust to the desired temperature.
IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly affected on ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used,
flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.
MEAT PROBE (SOLD SEPARATELY)
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat in the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the meat
probe adapter to the meat probe connection port on the Control Board and insert the stainless steel meat probe into the
thickest portion of your meat and the temperature will be displayed on the control board. To ensure the meat probe is
connected properly to the connection port, feel and hear it snap into place.
NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct
contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. When not in use, disconnect from
the meat probe connection port and place aside to keep protected and clean.
