  • Page 15: Grill Temperature Ranges

    GRILL TEMPERATURE RANGES Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the thermometer. All temperatures listed below are approximate and are affected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked. HIGH TEMPERATURE (205-260°C / 401-500°F) •...

  • Page 16: Understanding The Control Board

    UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROL BOARD This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) digital Control Board is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The main advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types. IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments calibrated together may not agree with each other.
  • Page 17 When not in use, disconnect the Meat Probe from the connection port and code "noP" will be displayed. Compatible with Pit Boss® Grills branded meat probes only. This readout is displayed after Power-down has been selected. It indicates that the automatic cool- down cycle has started.

  • Page 18: Control Board Functions

    CONTROL BOARD FUNCTIONS • SETTING THE GRILL TEMPERATURE The Grill Probe measures the internal temperature of the Main Barrel. When the Set temperature is adjusted, the Grill Probe will read the Actual temperature inside the Main Barrel and adjust to the desired Set temperature. IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly dependent on ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used, flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.

  • Page 19: Connecting To The Smoke It® App

    SETTING UP A RECIPE • The Recipe function allows the user to program cooking instructions, known as Recipe Steps, for the Control Board to follow and automatically run. These cooking instructions are a combination between Cooking temperature and Time. Starting from the first Recipe Steps (01), the Control Board will cycle through each Recipe Steps to cook the meal.

  • Page 20: Hopper Priming Procedure

    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 feed system. If not primed, the ignitor will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start.

  • Page 21: Care & Maintenance

Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from a previous cook.
