The PT200 Platinum Sensor sends data to the computer. This “brain” analyzes the data and adjusts the airflow and pellet
fuel flow to maintain the set temperature. Many things affect the data gathered by the sensor – opening the lid, wind,
grease splatter, humidity, altitude, and gravity (if the grill is not on level ground).
The computer analyzes all the erratic information and averages it over time. Then, it displays the best result as the most
accurate representation of the grill’s current temperature. This is why an instantaneous air temperature reading from a
third-party product does not provide much useful information.
Huffing noises are normal.
The combustion fan, inside the hopper, will turn off and on regularly to provide the
correct amount of oxygen to the fire to maintain the set temperature.

The beauty starts at the core of the
PRIME series’ 12V Direct Power
design. Direct Current allows for a
micro-adjusted variable speed fan and
auger motor that creates more precise
temp control, greater fuel economy, and
less waste along with increased motor
RPM’s for quicker pellet feed and faster
startups.
The motor turns an auger that feeds
pellets into a firebox. There, an igniter
in the bottom automatically lights the
pellets, and a combustion fan
provides oxygen to start the fire.
The Venturi-Style firebox design is lined
with vertical vents that create a burn
pot cyclone of airflow for maximum heat
distribution and complete combustion
with minimal waste.
The heat shield that covers the firebox distributes the heat to both sides of the grill, flowing up into the convection-style
grill chamber. The thermal sensor mounted inside the grill sends data to the on-board computer ten times every second,
and the digital controller adjusts the air and pellet flow to maintain the temperature you set.
• Clean the grates and grease tray regularly. You can use a wire brush to clean the stainless steel grates. Alternatively,
you can use an old camper’s trick of wadding a piece of aluminum foil and rubbing it lightly on the grates to clean it.
• As with any barbecue, the potential for a grease fire exists. To reduce this possibility, regularly clean the grease tray to
prevent flammable buildup. An easy way to do this is to line the tray with aluminum foil or use our Drip EZ Grease Tray
Liners. Use multiple sheets on the tray and then just peel one off each time you cook. If you are going to line your tray
with aluminum foil, make sure it does not cover the thermal sensor hole on the left.
• Chimney cap. Wipe down the underside of the cap regularly to prevent grease drip.
• Drip system. Make sure the trough where grease drains into the discharge spout is clean and free of debris.
• Place grill on level ground. The grill should be kept as level as possible so that the grease flows into the trough and
out into the bucket and also to ensure that the sensor reads evenly, as hot air displaced to one side or the other will
cause irregular operation.
• Clean ash out of the firebox periodically. If ash covers the igniter, the grill may not light. When you clean out the ash
from your firepot, it is not necessary to add in more pellets afterwards. The auger will add in the correct amount of
pellets in the start-up cycle.
• Regularly clean the inside of your grill. Remove grease with hot, soapy water or a grill cleaner. Keep liquids away
from the auger tube and the pellets. Liquids will drain through the bottom hole. Alternatively, just turn the grill on at
500°F for an hour or more to bake off most internal residues.
• Protect your grill. Use a grill cover as much as possible. Water may be able to get in through the hopper in wet
conditions. Make sure to check for wet pellets if your grill gets left out in the rain. As stated, pellets and water do not
mix. Your hopper will, for the most part, stay dry in most weather, but a driving rain may cause adverse results.
• Service? Answers to most common questions can be found on our website greenmountaingrills.com/support.
While you will hopefully have no problems, machinery can fail. Fortunately, each part on the grill is modular, so you can
easily replace one if necessary.
Keep the inside of the grill clean using a Shop-Vac. This will take
only a few minutes. Remove the interior parts and vacuum any ash
and residue out of the base of the grill and the firebox.
