Turning the Controller Knob to the lowest temperature setting (82°C / 180°F ) and using the "P" set value allows the user

to directly control the cycle rate of pellets that feed the burn pot. By controlling the "P" set value, the user can infuse

more smoke flavor into their foods at a low cooking temperature. It is also useful when cooking at low temperatures

when the unit is highly affected by the ambient outdoor weather. Since environmental conditions can affect the internal

cooking temperature of the grill, there can be higher peaks and valley's in temperature readings, but learning to use the

"P" setting value based on your geographical location is highly advantageous.

IMPORTANT: Do not push the "P" SET button too hard, as this may cause damage. Only a light push is needed.

The default P-setting value is P-4. On this setting, such as the start-up cycle, the grill will feed pellets for 18 seconds and

pause for 115 seconds. In most instances, you will want to keep the P-setting on the default.

Follow the P-setting chart below:

AUGER CYCLE RATE

"P" SET VALUE

Raising the P-setting to P-5, P-6, or P-7 increases the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn pot. A

higher P-setting is used in warmer or hot environments that want to hot smoke but the ambient outdoor temperature

would amplify the cooking temperature inside the grill.

Note: Monitor your burn pot closely, as raising the P-setting too high or too quickly may cause the fire to die

out completely.

Lowering the P-setting to P-3, P-2, P-1, or P-0 will decrease the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn

pot. A lower P-setting is used to compensate for cooler temperatures where the ambient outdoor temperature will re-

duce or weaken the intensity of heat produced inside the grill. Lowering the P-setting can also minimize temperature

swings in varying outdoor weather conditions.
