MEAT PROBES
This smoker has built in meat probes to measure
the temperature of the food as it is being cooked.
To use these probes insert the wire through the
stainless flaps on the side of the firebox. Insert the
probes into the food. Plug the connectors into the
receptacles on the front of the control panel. When
you press the probe temp button on the front of
the controller the digital readout will display the
food temperature. Press the button a second time
to toggle the display to the other probe. Press the
button a third time to toggle back to the cooking
temperature. If the probes are not installed
correctly or there is an error with the probes the
digital readout will display "PRERR" when the
probe temp button is pressed. When running the
probe wires to the food make sure it is positioned
out of direct contact with any open flame or
damage may occur. The digital readout will display
a "X" in front of the number when displaying the
"X" meat probe temperature and a "Y" for the "Y"
meat probe temperature. Example: "X155F"
Do not use meat probe when grill temperature
exceeds 350˚F. Damage to the probe may occur.
Do not allow meat probe wire to lie in the direct
heat zones (as shown by shaded areas).
Direct heat will damage the meat probe wire.
Always route the meat probe through port on the
side of the grill. Do not submerge wire in water.
Not dishwasher safe.
CAUTION
CLEANING
Clean grates using a wire grill brush. This should
be done with each use. DO NOT use oven cleaner
or abrasive cleaners on the painted grill surfaces.
Use warm soapy water on all painted surfaces.
Clean grease pan, grease trough, and grease drain
tube occasionally. A spatula can be used to scrape
excess grease and a grill brush to brush clean. Do
not allow grease to build up on the grease tray or
in the grease trough as this can cause flare-ups
inside the grill. Make sure not to obstruct the
flow of grease off of the tray and into the grease
trough. Make sure not to block the airflow to the
temperature sensor on the left side of the grill.
TROUBLESHOOTING
GRILL DOES NOT TURN ON.
Grill fails to turn on after switching the power
button to the on position.
1. Make sure the grill is plugged into a powered
outlet. Check the circuit breaker and/or GFCI
switch. Test the outlet using another appliance.
2. Unplug the grill and check the fuse located in
the front panel. If the fuse is blown replace only
with 4.0 Amp 125V 5x20mm Fast Blow Fuse.
Typical fuse marking will be 4A125V, F4A125V,
4A250V, or F4A250V. Make sure to confirm they
are a Fast Blow Fuse. Actual fuse dimensions
are 5.2x20mm.
If problem cannot be resolved please call customer
service.
GRILL DOES NOT HEAT UP OR DIGITAL READOUT
DISPLAYS FLAME
1. Turn Power Off
2. Check hopper for pellets
3. Check firebox to see if there are pellets in the
firebox by removing the rack and heat deflectors.
Use a vacuum to clean-out any pellets that may
be in the bottom of the grill.
A. Try restarting the grill. If restarting the grill does
not work and pellets are getting to the burner
cup the heating rod may need to be replaced.
B. If there are few or no pellets in the burner then
turn the dial to the feed position and see if
pellets fall into the burner. If there are no pellets
check to see if the auger is turning. If the auger
motor is turning but the auger is not there may
