CONNECTING TO THE APP

The app will allow you to control and monitor your grill and meat probe temperatures from your mobile device. Enjoy the
benefits that Pit Boss® Grills mobile connectivity has to offer! Follow these instructions on how to connect your grill to the Pit
Boss® Grills app with your Android™ or iOS® device:
1. Download the Pit Boss® Grills app. Open the app and allow Wi-Fi to be enabled for setup. New users will need to create
an account and follow the prompts to login.
2. If you are within Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi range (9 m / 30 ft), the Pit Boss® Grills app will automatically detect your grill.
Select your grill model. If you do not see your grill on the screen, ensure your unit is connected to a power source and
is turned on.
3. Name your grill model (ie. My Smoker) in the app and select "Connect" at the bottom of the screen. This will save your
grill model in the devices menu.
4. From your grill menu, find your newly named grill and select the grill controls at the bottom. This will show you the
control screen for your unit.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the burn pot to ensure there is no
obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed
system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. This will
activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will begin to heat and the fan will supply
air to the burn pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid must
remain open during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and
notice some heat being produced.
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your
desired temperature!
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps,
or start your grill using the manual method.
1. Hold the Power Button for two seconds to turn off the unit. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components
from inside. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the burn pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it
may be extremely hot.
2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on and ensure the
Temperature Control Dial is set to the SMOKE position. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn pot and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the burn pot.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .
