The Burn Pot, is the pot the burn grate sits in. It has a solid, sealed bottom along with a slot, to
permanently screw the pot to the barrel bottom as well as two screws to secure it to the barrel end.
The Burn Pot is also sealed to the barrel end, inside and outside, as well as along the bottom.
The main function of the Burn Pot is to house the igniter assembly and to channel the fan forced
air into the Burn Grate, thus there is very little maintenance required. Occasionally you may
either vacuum or brush out any ash build-up or burn debris that has fallen below the burn grate.
It is crucial that the Burn Pot is sealed tight to the barrel side wall, tight to the barrel bottom, and is
hooked and screwed in place to ensure proper placement. You can check the air tightness of the
burn pot, simply by placing some of the fine fly ash around the outside of the pot and turn on your
fan. The seal is good if the fly ash is not blown away from the burn pot.

The proper maintenance and seating of the Burn Grate is crucial to proper grill performance.
Periodically check the air holes found on the sides of the Burn Grate for any blockage or build-ups.
Using a wire brush or flat-head screwdriver, scrape off any build-up or debris. If there is
extreme build-up blocking the holes, you may wish to drill the holes clean.
Using "Steel Wool" of fine sand paper, wipe down any build-up or burn residue on the slide part
of the burn grate. Any residue or debris will stop the pellets from sliding completely into the
burn grate.
When re-installing the Grate confirm the proper seating in the burn pot. The grate is seated
straight, igniter hole and igniter line up and there is little play from side to side in the burn pot.

The 300 watt electric igniter needs very little maintenance.
Confirm that the igniter is free of debris or blockage. Use a coat hanger or skewer to clean any debris out from between
the igniter hot rod and the housing.
Check the position of he hot rod, within the igniter tube. The hot rod should be flush or
slightly inside, with the angled front end of the housing. You may have to loosen one (1) of
the set screws holding the hot rod in place.
Check the four (4) set screws securing the hot rod into the stainless steel casing are snug.
DO NOT overtighten.

Always be sure the grease catch area is clean and free of debris. Not only check the drawer, but check and clean the main
catch air at the end of the flame broiler, as well as the tube leading from there to the drawer.
During the warmer months empty any grease build-up on a more frequent basis to avoid it from going rancid and to avoid
having any extra creatures enjoying your grill.

We recommend that at least once a month, while your grill is cold, that you should perform not only the above maintenance
procedures, but also include the following.
1. Using a stiff vegetable brush knock-off any build-up scale on the inside
walls of your grill.
2 Using an old paintbrush, brush off any ash build-up found inside the
firebox, grate and Arched Flame Broiler.
3. Give your entire grill a good cleaning with a shop vat, when cool to the
touch, then a quick wash and rinse.
4. Finally, visually inspect the powder coat or painted
finish. Touch up any scratches with the proper touch-up.
