  • Page 38: Tips

    TIPS FROM THE PIT Let it Rest When you’re smoking larger cuts of meat it’s always a good idea to let your product rest after pulling it off the smoker. This will help reabsorb the moisture back into the meat, and allows some time for the product to come down a few degrees to aid in slicing.
  • Page 39 Take Notes As if there isn’t enough to do when smoking your favorite cut of meat, it pays to take a few notes of your process so you can go back and remember what you did. It can take 12+ hours sometimes when smoking low and slow, and you don’t want to forget your steps so you can repeat your process in the future.

  • Page 43 further assistance (see page 42). CLEARING AN AUGER JAM Jams can be caused by a number of factors such as using damp/crumbling pellets, leaving pellets in the system for extended periods of time or not properly running the shutdown process. In some cases, a jam may be accompanied by an ER5 message on the Pit Control screen but ultimately, an auger jam will prevent the auger from feeding pellets into the firepot, thus causing a flameout.
