COOKING/ CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush (brass or soft metal), 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 on 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 off the grill, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out.
Lightly sprinkle baking soda if available.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.
GREASE BUCKET:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check your grease bucket often and clean out as necessary. For easy clean, line the bucket with foil, then toss
when full.
PELLET HOPPER CLEAN-OUT:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If grill will be left un-attended for a long period of time, we recommend you remove unused pellets. Always
store wood pellets away from heat and in a dry location.
Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets and debris for a complete clean-out through
the hopper screen.
NOTE: Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if your grill will be unused for an
extended period of time. This can be done by simply running your grill on an empty hopper until all the pellets
have emptied from the auger tube.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove wood pellets from hopper if grill will not be used for a long period of time. Wood pellets can
become soggy due to moisture/humidity and can cause the auger to bind up or not push pellets to burn
chamber.
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 the ashes are disposed by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
It’s important to keep your grill always covered when not in use to avoid rain getting inside the grill and
damaging the grill and/or cause excessive corrosion. The grill and pellets must be kept dry in order to
function properly.
Wash cooking grates and drip shield with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grill grates, sear
shutter, and drip shield with a high smoke point food grade oil like vegetable oil or canola oil. Never use a
commercial oven cleaner because it may damage the painted finish.
