UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES • TEMPERATURE PROBE Located inside the main barrel, on the rear wall, is the temperature probe. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless steel. The temperature probe measures the internal temperature of the unit. When the temperature is adjusted on the Control Board, the temperature probe will read the actual temperature inside the unit and adjust to the desired temperature.
HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited, and each time the grill runs out of pellets in the hopper. The auger must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the burn pot. If not primed, the igniter will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE If for any reason your electric igniter fails, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from inside.
