Thank you for purchasing a Green Mountain Pellet Grill! We

hope that it will provide you with many years of trouble-free

service and allow you to cook extraordinary food that will

enhance your enjoyment of eating.

Your new grill can grill, smoke, slow-cook, barbecue, braise,

roast, bake, and sear at the touch of a button. This manual

will help you get the most out of your pellet grill, so please

read it thoroughly.

Should an unforeseen problem occur, please check the

Troubleshooting section, or visit our website

greenmountaingrills.com/support. After exhausting those

possibilities, please feel free to call us at 530-347-9167 and

select “Technical Support.”

If you have questions about cooking, please see General

Operating Tips and Wood Fired 101 sections in this manual,

or visit our website:

Remember that your new pellet grill is extremely versatile.

While you can grill steaks, hamburgers and all the other

traditional “barbecue” fare, you can also prepare a pot roast,

smoke fish, bake cookies or bread, slow-cook a brisket or

pork butt, roast vegetables, and much more. About the only

limit is your imagination... so get creative!

HOPPER FAN FIREBOXAUGER

A PELLET GRILL

WORKS

HOW

A motor turns an auger that feeds pellets into a Venturi-style

firebox. There, a hot rod automatically ignites the pellets. The

hopper fan provides airflow into the firebox creating a burn pot

cyclone for maximum heat distribution and maintains positive

pressure that prevents burn-back into the auger tube.

WOOD FIRED SCIENCE

The Venturi-style firebox creates maximum heat distribution and

complete combustion of the pellets 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.

Premium Fruitwood Blend

This bold blend of Orchard Cherry, American

Beech, and Sweet Pecan (yes, pecan is a fruit!)

smells sweet when you cook with it and adds

character to whatever you grill. This blend is

favored by competition barbecue teams

nationwide for its flavorful light smoke.

Premium Gold Blend

This mellow blend of Red Oak, American

Hickory, and Mountain Maple subtly flavors your

food without overpowering it. These are some

of the hardest of the hardwoods; this blend

produces a long burn with modest smoke.

Premium Apple Blend

This sublime blend of Apple Wood, American

Hickory, and Red Oak is mature but gentle. If

you’re unsure about which pellets to use,

choose the Apple Blend for hardy flavors. You

can’t go wrong with this one!

Premium Texas Blend

This aromatic blend of Black Oak, American

Hickory, and a hint of Texas Mesquite offers

more smoke than our other blends. The pellets

are a deep chocolate brown and burn hot. If you

want big taste, the Texas Blend is right for you.

Premium Gourmet Blend

This 8 lb. stand-up resealable bag of Gourmet

Blend pellets is a perfect blend of Black Oak,

American Hickory, and Texas Mesquite. This

bag is space-saving for camping, RV’ing,

picnicking, and tailgating specifically designed

for the Davy Crockett portable grill.

These test results were obtained under the following conditions:

Ambient temperature range of 52-56 degrees Fahrenheit. Usage of GMG

Premium Blend Pellets. No food in cavity. No wind.

Your results may differ due to:

Food in cavity which absorbs BTU’s as it cooks. Usage of different pellets.

Opening and closing the lid. Operating in higher or lower temperatures than

testing conditions. Operating in wind.

Jim Bowie & Daniel Boone Know Your Grill

Firebox: This sits at the bottom of the

grill, and pellets arrive into it via an

auger tube attached to its left side.

This is also called a burn pot.

Igniter: You will find the igniter (also

called a hot rod) in the firebox. It should

protrude about 1.5–2” into the firebox.

This rod ignites the pellets to start the fire.

Thermal Sensor: This device sends data

to the computer ten times per second.

The computer then averages these

readings over slightly longer periods of

time and adjusts the air and pellet flow to

maintain an accurate temperature in the

cavity.

Grease tray: This slopes downhill

from left to right and carries the

drippings from your food into the

grease bucket for easy disposal.

Make sure the CIRCLE cutout

is on the LEFT SIDE.

Meat Probes: To use this feature,

just plug the connector into the

receptacle on the front of the

controller.

Lift the stainless flap on the left

side of the grill and push the

probe through the hole. Then,

insert the probe into the center of

the food you are cooking. Press

either the Probe 1 or 2 button to

display the temperature of that

probe. This process takes a

minute or two to stabilize.

To return to the grill temperature display, simply press the

probe button again. If you do not have the probe installed in

the control panel, then your digital display will read “NO FD”

(no food) when you press either probe button. The probe is

not suitable for reading temperatures above 257°F (150°C).

Digital Controller: This is a

state-of-the-art PID

(calculus-based) computer that

will keep your grill at a

reasonably steady temperature.

Heat Shield: Creates maximum heat

distribution between the left and right

side of the grill chamber.

Heat Shield Adjuster: This allows you

to slide the heat shield left and right to

control heat distribution. Move toward

the heat: for example, if the grill is hotter

on the right side, move the heat shield

slightly to the right to even out the temps.

Hopper Lid: Keep the hopper lid

closed at all times while your grill is

on. Obviously, if you need to refill the

hopper, you can make a brief

exception. The fan inside the hopper

must blow air into the auger tube to

prevent burn-back from the firepot. If

the hopper lid stays open, this air

pressure just escapes into the

atmosphere.

Low Pellet Alarm: Inside the hopper

is a low pellet alarm. When the level

of pellets falls below this sensor, an

alarm sounds to let you know that

you need to fill the hopper back up.

Once this alarm goes off, you should

add pellets to prevent fuel shortage

and resultant temperature drops.

Chimney Cap: Always leave this

open. Your grill needs to draft.

Always make sure there is at least

a two-finger or 1.5 inch opening.

Pellet Dump: Please ensure that the

stainless steel pellet dump slider is in

place before filling the hopper with

pellets.

*Versions may vary based on model.

AshVac: This allows you to connect a

Shop-Vac to clean out the base of the

burn pot. NEVER pull hot ash out of the

firebox. Make sure the fire is completely

out before using this feature of the grill!

Wait at least 1 hour after you shut down

the grill before attempting to pull ash out

through the clean-out.

Bottle Opener: No more

looking for the opener! It has a

durable stainless steel design.

you to take a peek at your food

Firebox: This sits at the bottom of the

grill, and pellets arrive into it via an

auger tube attached to its left side. This

is also called a burn pot.

Igniter: You will find the igniter in the

firebox. It should protrude about 1.5–2”

into the firebox. You can adjust this by

loosening the set screw located at the

left side of the firebox on the igniter

tube. However, this should rarely be

necessary. This is also called a hot rod.

Combustion Fan: This fan is located

under the hopper and blows air into the

firebox (burn pot). The speed of this fan

will vary during normal operation.

Thermal Sensor: This device sends data

to the computer ten times per second.

The computer then averages these

readings over slightly longer periods of

time and adjusts the air and pellet flow to

maintain an accurate temperature in the

cavity.

Grease tray: This slopes downhill

from left to right and carries the

drippings from your food into the

grease bucket for easy disposal.

Make sure the half-moon cutout

is on the LEFT SIDE.

Meat Probe: To use this feature, just plug the connector

into the receptacle on the front of the control panel.

Lift the stainless flap on the left side of the grill and push

the probe through the hole. Then, insert the probe into

the center of the food you are cooking. When you press

the FOOD button on the control panel, it will display the

temperature of whatever the probe touches, but this

process takes a minute or two to stabilize.

To return to the grill temperature display, simply press the

FOOD button again.

If you do not have the probe installed in the control panel,

then your digital display will read “NFD” (no food) when

you press the FOOD button.

The probe is not suitable for reading temperatures above

257°F (150°C).

GRILL CLEANING

A good cleaning can go a long way every

once in awhile. A Shop-Vac will do the trick.

ALWAYS make sure the grill is cool. Remove

the grates, grease trays, and heat shield. Now

vacuum accordingly including the base of the

grill chamber and firebox. Cleaning should

take 10 minutes tops.

The PT100 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

General Operating Tips

During Cycle 0, the controller feeds the right amount of

pellets into the firebox. Cycle 1 turns on the igniter. At

cycle 2 the fan turns on, and remains on with the igniter for

combustion.

DO NOT INCREASE TEMPERATURE YET.

The grill needs to make P.O.F (Proof of Fire) which is 5

degrees above ambient temperature. At that point the

board will turn the igniter off and start the auger motor to

guide the grill up to 150°F. It is imperative for the grill lid to

be closed for this to happen.

ONCE THE GRILL HAS REACHED 150°F, YOU MAY

INCREASE TO YOUR DESIRED TEMPERATURE.

If there is not a 5° increase within 20 minutes the grill will

display FAL. At this point see page 78 of the

troubleshooting section.

• Setting the Temperature: Do not push any buttons until the

computer finishes the 0-1-2-3 cycles and automatically goes to

150°F (66°C). Once it reaches 150°F (66°C), you can change

to your desired setting.

• Time to Reach Temperature: It should take about 15–20

minutes from the time you first turn the grill on until it achieves

the temperature you set. Make sure not to adjust the

temperature until it reaches 150°F first. Time to heat up will

vary based on the temperature of the climate you live in.

• Temperature Control: You can set the grill as low as 150°F

or as high as 550°F.

• Grill Ready: Wait until the grill heats up before cooking. Aside

from the soot contained in earlier smokes, the grill will not cook

evenly until it gets hot, just as with a charcoal or gas grill. A

slowly blinking light on the digital control panel indicates that

the grill has achieved the target temperature, while no light

means the grill is still heating or cooling.

• Heat Distribution: If you are experiencing larger left-to-right

temperature discrepancies, the heat shield can be moved

along the belly of the grill left or right to assist with these

differences. See our recommended Heat Shield installation in

the Quick Start Guide section.

The grill temperature will climb fairly rapidly. The temperature,

however, falls much more slowly. This is because the fire must

be kept going at all costs, which results in a fairly slow fall in

inside temperature. Here, too, you can speed the process by

opening the lid to let excess heat escape.

• Controller Functions: In case you have an interest in

controller functions, the chart below shows each ignition

state and its function.

Green Mountain Grills General Operating Tips

General Operating Tips

• Temperature Variances: The temperature on the digital

readout reflects the temperature at the grilling surface on the

left side of the grate where the thermal sensor protrudes into

the grill cavity. You may notice differences between the dome

thermometer and the digital readout, depending on the

quantity of cold food inside the grill or how often you open and

close the lid or how much wind is present. This is normal.

Please understand that if you cook, for instance, a stand-up

chicken, the temperature at the top of the cavity may be

somewhat less than at the grilling surface in the winter and

perhaps higher in the summer. You might have decided to

cook the chicken at 275°F, but you notice that the temp on the

dome thermometer (if your grill has one) only reads 250°F.

Since most of your chicken is well above the cooking surface,

you may want to adjust the digital temp of the grilling surface

up to about 300°F to achieve your target cooking temperature

of 275°F at the chicken level or vice-versa if the dome

thermometer reads higher.

• Weather: You will likely want to keep your grill out of rain and

snow when not in use. In a heavy driving rain, water can

invade the auger tube that will then magically change pellets

to sawdust and then expand and dry into something akin to

concrete. This makes for an unpleasant repair. Melting snow

can also cause the same problem. A grill cover will clearly

help the situation, but the garage seems more foolproof.

• Grilling in Various Temperatures: Because we know that

you will use the grill in a variety of weather conditions, we tend

to overshoot the initial default temperature of 150°F by 20–25

degrees on warm days. We do this so that it does not take

interminably long on a cold day to reach its target

temperature. The grill will eventually cool back down to 150°F

on its own, or you may speed the process by simply opening

the lid to let out excess heat.

Once your outside temperatures drop below 35°F (2°C), the

Turbo mode kicks in to accelerate the volume of pellets and

air so that you do not have to wait so long for the grill to heat

up as you otherwise would without it.

• Thermal Blanket: Tests from users have indicated that

you can reduce your pellet consumption by 40%–50% in

very cold weather by using a GMG thermal blanket. If you

grill regularly in cold weather, this investment will likely

pay off handsomely. Do not use the thermal blanket in the

summertime, as it provides no noticeable benefit and

may actually work against you on very warm days.

• Keep the Lid Closed When Cooking. The grill cooks

with convection heat, so an open lid only dissipates heat

into the atmosphere. “If you’re lookin’, you’re not cookin’.”

• Pellet Checking: Be sure to keep pellets in the hopper!

Check your hopper occasionally so that your grill does

not go out in the middle of cooking your meal.

• Pellet Storage: Store your pellets in a cool, dry place.

Do not allow them to get wet, as they will turn back into

sawdust.

• Bypass Mode for Hot Restarts: Occasionally, you may

experience a power outage while the grill is in use, or

someone accidentally turns the grill off, or you undercook

something and want to resume cooking for a little longer.

Use this method if you still have some fire left in the

firebox, which is usually no longer than about 6–7

minutes later. If you have run the fan mode for more than

about 3–4 minutes, this will not work.

If necessary, make sure the grill is plugged in first. When

the digital readout displays off, press the red power

button to turn the grill back on. Once it is on, hold down

the UP button for approximately 8 seconds, or until the

digital readout displays a temperature.

Now adjust the temperature to your desired setting.

• Powering Down: Simply press the red power button and

your grill will automatically go into fan mode. Allow fan

mode to complete before disconnecting the grill.

Green Mountain Grills General Operating Tips

• Smoke Flavor: You will get more smoke flavor at low

temperatures than at high ones. If you wish to infuse a

piece of meat with a smoky flavor, cook it at 150°–160°F

for an hour or so before you turn up the grill to finish it off.

• Let Meat Rest. Beef, pork, poultry, and fish will generally

continue to cook after you remove them from the grill as

the hot outer part of the meat influences the cooler interior.

While it seems possible to eat immediately upon finishing

your grilling, that seldom works out as a practical matter.

Plan for the internal temperature to rise about 5 degrees

after you take it off the grill. Also, resting allows the juices

to redistribute more evenly throughout the meat.

• Spritz! GMG sells a very nice stainless steel spritz bottle

for about $10. You will use it on the meats you’re cooking

regularly. Pork butts and picnic roasts, steaks, burgers,

chops, and ribs will all benefit from regular, generous

spritzing. A good staple mixture is apple juice plus 2–3

tablespoons of Worcestershire.

• Be Creative! You can cook almost anything on this grill.

Try pizza, bread, marinated vegetables, casseroles, and

corn bread, as well as steaks, roasts, hams, pork chops or

tenderloins, wild game, fish, and poultry. Cook anything

outside in this appliance that you would cook in your

kitchen oven.

• Low Temperature Smoking: For anything you plan to

smoke for several hours, we recommend marinating it

in sugar or salt or both, in the refrigerator for several

hours beforehand. This will normally cure the meat

and should make it safe. We do not recommend

smoking poultry below 185°F for health reasons.

Cooking it at or above that temperature will still impart

a rich, smoky flavor.

• General Cooking Guide. If you’re new to pellet

grilling, this will help you to get started. These are

basic guidelines and temps/times can vary depending

on the size of what you’re cooking, the initial

temperature of the food when you put it in, how often

you open the lid, and other variables. ALWAYS COOK

MEAT TO A SAFE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE.

• ALWAYS unplug your grill before performing any cleaning,

maintenance, and/or operations involving any of the

electrical components

• 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.

• Grease fire caution! 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 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 is at

least a few inches away from the thermal sensor on the left.

• Clean the chimney cap. Wipe down the underside of the

cap regularly to prevent grease drip.

• Clean the 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 insure 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. The best

way to do this is with a Shop-Vac. You should expect

to clean this out about every 2–3 bags of pellets. 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.

• Clean the grill lid window. The window will discolor

over time. The best way to clean the window is with

steel wool.

• 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. You may also contact our

technical support department at 530-347-9167 opt. 1.

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.

Troubleshooting

Grill doesn’t turn on when you press the power

button.

Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in.

When the AC adapter is plugged into the wall, check

that the light on the adapter comes on.

Inspect both ends of the male-to-male power cord to

ensure the connections aren't compromised.

Check the circuit breaker and/or GFCI on the circuit the

adapter is plugged into. Plug a small appliance into the

same outlet to see if you have electricity.

Unplug the grill. Remove the control panel. Check for

loose wires connected to the wiring harness.

Disconnect and reconnect the wiring harness to ensure

a secure connection.

Grill doesn’t come up to temperature.

If grill remains at ambient temperature...

Check the firebox to see if it has overflowed with

pellets. If it has, clean it out and start over. This overfill

can result from turning the grill off without using the fan

mode or from charging the firebox when it does not

need to be charged. Reread the section on “Priming the

Firebox” to understand that. You only need to prime the

firebox the first time you use the grill or on any

subsequent occasions when it runs out of pellets and

the auger runs until empty.

Erratic temperature.

If the digital display reads “SEN” or shows rapid

fluctuation in temperature (faster than the grill could

realistically increase/decrease its internal temperature)

call our technical support 530-347-9167 opt. 1.

Improper shield placement will result in issues

coming to temperature. When using the heat shield

adjustment rod, a centered heat shield should be

positioned approximately at the “0” mark on the rod.

The depth to which the rod is threaded into the

receiving nut varies, so some experimenting might

be needed to find the perfectly adjusted “0” point on

your rod.

Ensure the grease tray is installed correctly.

If grill lights, but does not reach set temperature...

Check the combustion fan to ensure it spins freely

and there is no damage to the blades.

Ensure the heat shield is properly installed.

However it must be wrapped tight to the metal, and the

hole as well as the half-moon cutout must be punched

out of the foil to ensure proper airflow.

A simple way to check the thermal sensor is to look at

the initial temperature reading the grill gives after the

0-1-2-3 start-up process. This temperature should be

close to the ambient air temperature since the grill has

not yet had a chance to heat up.

Improper shield placement will result in issues coming

to temperature. When using the heat shield adjustment

rod, a centered heat shield should be positioned

approximately at the “0” mark on the rod. The depth to

which the rod is threaded into the receiving nut varies,

so some experimenting might be needed to find the

perfectly adjusted “0” point on your rod.

Ensure the grease tray is installed correctly. See the

previous page for proper installation.

Smoke is coming out of the hopper.

Make sure your burn pot is empty of ash and pellets.

Make sure the hopper lid stays closed when you have

the grill on. Press firmly down on each of the corners of

the lid to make certain it is closed tight. If a corner of

the lid sits up even 1/8 inch while the lid is flat, a

warped hopper lid is your issue.

You can test this by running 2 sheets of tin foil over

your hopper then closing the lid down on top of the

foil to make a temporary seal, hopefully preventing

smoke from traveling through your hopper.

Ensure the combustion fan spins freely and is not

damaged.

Ensure the pellet dump door is closed tight. Often, it

doesn’t get pushed all the way down and leaves a

gap that lets out air pressure from the fan. If it is not

slid down all the way, it can have the same effect as

an open hopper lid.

If all else fails, the square gasket seal between the

hopper and auger may be the culprit. You can seal

with high-temp silicone.

Low pellet alarm beeps continuously.

Fill the hopper with pellets so that their level is

above the low pellet sensor. If this does not solve

the problem, unplug the grill then disconnect the

alarm from and reconnect it to the back of the

control panel. If the beeping persists, your alarm is

broken and needs to be replaced. Contact our

technical support 530-347-9167 opt. 1. In the

meantime, you can stop the beeping by unplugging

the low pellet alarm from the circuit board and

leaving it disconnected.

*The low pellet alarm is not necessary for the grill’s

functionality. You can leave the alarm disconnected and

continue cooking.

No pellets in the firebox.

Assuming that you’ve charged the firebox so that there

are pellets in the auger tube, turn the grill on and press

the power button to send the control to cycle 0.

Examine the auger bit through the firebox to see if it’s

turning.

If it is and there aren’t any pellets coming through, they

are bridged up over the auger’s intake. Turn the grill off,

sift the pellets around inside the hopper, and put the

grill back into cycle 0. Wait until the pellets emerge into

the firebox. It may take up to 2 full cycle 0’s to get

pellets all the way through the auger tube. Once they

emerge, turn the grill off and start it again all the way

through the 0-1-2-3 cycles to fire it up.

It may take more if the auger is not turning. Listen for

the auger motor. If the auger motor is engaged and the

auger bit is not turning, then there is a broken linkage

between the motor and the auger shaft. Call technical

support on 530-347-9167, opt. 1.

I have uneven heating.

Uneven heat can be corrected by making small

adjustments to your heat shield placement. Try sliding

the shield toward the hot side in ¼ inch increments

while taking note of the temperature changes. Using

the Heat shield adjustment rod, a centered heat shield

should be positioned approximately at the “0” mark on

the rod. The depth to which the rod is threaded into the

receiving nut varies, so some experimenting might be

needed to find the perfectly adjusted “0” point on your

rod. Once you find the best heat shield placement, we

encourage you to mark that distance on the heat shield

adjustment rod. That way, you can subsequently repeat

the positioning whenever the grill is relocated or the

burn pot is cleared internally.

Loud clicking sound when the auger is running.

TThis is typically the sound of a stripped/slipping

gear within the auger’s gearbox. Auger assembly

replacement will be needed.

Grill didn’t light (FAL message).

There may be too much ash in the firebox. Wait until

it cools off, and clean out the ash. Alternatively,

pellets may have overfilled the firebox. Never turn

the grill off and on repeatedly as this will overfill the

firebox with pellets. Each time the grill displays “0”

on start-up, it feeds a full load of pellets into the

burn pot. The igniter won't light the pellets unless air

can flow freely through the combustion chamber.

The combustion fan may not have been operating.

Check to make sure that the fan blades turn freely

and the fan runs on cycles 2 and 3 of the 0-1-2-3

sequence.

The auger might not have turned pellets into the

burn pot. Refer to “No pellets in the firebox” above.

If there isn’t any ash or pellet buildup, the fan works

properly, and fresh pellets are feeding in, your

igniter is most likely out and the grill will require a

replacement.

*The grill can be manually lit if the igniter is out. Charge

the burn pot with a handful of pellets, and light them with

a propane torch or. Once the pellets are able to maintain

a flame by themselves, plug the grill in so it displays “off.”

Hold the “power” button for 10 seconds. The grill will

initially display “0” but then skip to a temperature reading

while turning on the fan and auger. Let the grill come to

150 then select your grilling temperature like normal.

Auger is jamming.

Turn the grill into cycle 0 by pressing the “power” button

(first stage of the normal start-up procedure), and listen

for the auger motor. If the motor engages, look inside

your burn pot toward the end of the auger bit to

determine if the auger is spinning. If the auger is

spinning but you don’t have pellets feeding into the

burn pot, you have pellets bridged up over the intake of

the auger tube. Turn the grill off, sift the pellets around

inside the hopper, and put the grill back into cycle 0.

Wait until the pellets emerge into the firebox. It may

take up to 2 full cycle 0’s to get pellets all the way

through the auger tube.

If you have determined that your auger does not turn

when the auger motor is engaged, you can try to work

the affected pellets through the auger tube to clear out

the jam. Remove the grease tray and heat shield from

the body of the grill. Remove all the pellets from the

hopper and the firebox.

Once the auger tube is clear, you will need to refill it

with fresh pellets by running cycle 0 a few more times

after the hopper has been filled. Once you see fresh

pellets coming out, turn off the grill and start it up again

through the entire 0-1-2-3 process with the heat shield

and grease tray installed.

Combustion fan doesn’t seem to be working

properly.

There’s no need for concern if your fan is not

blowing at a constant speed. It will run at many

RPMs in order to maintain the most stable

temperature.

The fan should run continuously from cycle 2 on

start-up until the grill completes the fan mode.

First, unplug the grill. Then, using your finger, flick

the fan to make sure it spins freely and does not

appear to have any visible damage. If there is any

damage to the blades, your grill will require a new

combustion fan.

Check the wires leading to the combustion fan to

make sure those connections are secure and

undamaged.

package update can’t download.

3. Your network does not have a password or is not

compatible with the grill.

Once you see “SUC” unplug the grill and plug it back in again.

The system will now install the update and verify if it is

installed correctly. You will see the grill count from “000” to

“100” during this time. When the update is complete, the grill

will display “off”. It will then disconnect from your local network

and broadcast via the GMG network again.

Welcome to the future of barbecue!

Server mode is designed for remote monitoring and grill

control when you are outside of your home WiFi network.

You can monitor the grill while out running errands or just

hanging out at home.

Capabilities:

• Turn on the grill (only from home WiFi network)

• Turn off the grill

• Increase/decrease the grill temp

• Set the food probe temp

• Start/stop a food profile

Notifications:

You will be notified when:

• The target temperature hits on the grill or food probe

• When a profile step or profile is complete

• The low pellet alarm is activated

Now that the grill is in

broadcast mode, the next

step is to switch it to the

client mode. This step

requires the grill to briefly

disconnect and reconnect

to the router with a new

configuration, which takes

around a minute.

Note: This step only occurs either the

first time you connect, after turning

the grill on or after switching it over to

a home network for the first time.

Future connections will be much

faster as long as the grill is left on.

We are almost there. The grill

has been detected and the

app is now attempting to

connect.

The dialogue should now

display “Connected, Happy

Grilling!” Temperature

readings should be coming

shortly thereafter.

Congrats! Your grill is now

Pro Tips:

Multi-Grill Mode

If you have more than one

grill with WiFi, you can

control each grill

separately. You will need

to connect to each grill

separately and connect

them to your local WiFi

following the steps in

single-grill mode.

Next, follow these steps:

Single-grill mode

connects immediately to

the first grill it finds. By

default the app starts in

single-grill mode because

it is the most common

configuration.

Multi-grill mode extends

these steps a little longer

than normal to allow it to

find every available grill on

the network.

To disconnect from

server mode:

Go to the Settings tab.

Click the Leave Server

button.

The grill should be set

back to WiFi mode. To

reconnect to the grill,

press Connect on the

Home screen.

Connecting to the Server

1. You must have firmware version 1.2 or higher to use

server mode. See page 102 for instructions on checking your

firmware. For instructions on updating your firmware, see

page 104.

2. Make sure your Android or iOS app is up to date.

3. For safety reasons, you can only turn on the grill using

server mode if you are within range of your WiFi network.

In some situations, the grill will go back to point-to-point

mode. If this happens, repeat the WiFi connection process.
