YODER SMOKERS PELLET COOKER
PRE-GRILL CHECKLIST
1. Open the cooking chamber door and remove the cooking grates.
2. Remove the access door from the heat diffuser plate. (FIG 01)
3. Remove the burn grate from the firebox (FIG 02). Inspect and clean thoroughly. Make certain that
the combustion holes in the burn grate and the igniter tube in the firebox are free of debris or ash
build up. Visually inspect the air way between the combustion fan and the firebox to be certain that
it is free and clear of ash and debris (a shop vacuum works well for ash and debris removal).
4. While inspecting the firebox assembly, confirm that the igniter assembly, tube and igniter rod are
free of ash or other debris. Periodically inspect the igniter tube to ensure it is tightly secured by
grabbing the tube and turning it clockwise.
5. Re-install the burn grate (FIG 03). Begin by resting the right hand side of the burn grate on the
fire box and then pressing down on the left hand side of the burn grate until fully seated. When the
burn grate is properly seated it rests firmly on the right hand side of the firebox and fits close to the
hopper wall. Finally, ensure the igniter assembly is centered in the respective hole in the burn grate.
6. Re-install the access door.
7. Re-install the cooking grates and second shelf.
8. Remove, inspect, and clean the grease bucket as needed.
9. Open the hopper lid and inspect for any foreign materials, as well as inspect the condition of
pellets left over from previous cooks to ensure they've not been damaged by humidity.
