Please note that during shipping some movement may have taken place, so a complete visual
inspection is required. Please follow these Initial Set-up procedures to insure the proper and safe
operation of your grill.
Note: Do not plug your grill into an electrical outlet until this procedure is
complete.
TIP:
It is recommended practise to always go through the INITIAL
SET UP Procedures after every 5 to 10 uses. This will ensure proper
ignition and continuous happy grilling experiences.
Open the GRILL LID and remove the Cast Iron Cooking Grills. "Little Louie" comes with 1 grill, the
"Kentwood" and "Greenwood" models come with 2 sections and the "Grande Isle" comes with 3.
Remove the "Grillmate" or stainless steel "Flavor Guard" Cooking surface.
Remove the Flame Deflector. This is the "U" shaped stainless steel metal piece sitting over the burn
grate. The "U" shape sits upside down to help distribute the heat and to keep fly ash to a minimum. The
flame deflector also keeps the flame from making direct contact with your cooking.
Remove the stainless steel burn grate and check the burn pot area, remove any foreign items. Ensure
that the air holes in the grate are clear of debris.
Re-install the burn grate. Ensure that the stainless steel grate is setting down and snug in the burn pot
with the two igniter holes visible and clear of obstructions, in the bottom of the grate. If the grate does
not sit firmly in the pot area you will have to adjust the grate adjustment tab.
Re-install the flame deflector. This mounts back on the side brackets located on each side of the burn
area. The opening of the "U" shape should be facing downwards, and should be centered over the burn
grate.
Re-install the Cooking Grates: For the "Grillmate" ensure that the grill with the small round holes is
facing upward and the basket weave pattern is facing downward, towards the flame deflector and burn
area. For re-installing the "Flavor Guard", the pointed top of the "V" shaped runners and the two
pull-tabs must point upward toward the cast iron cooking grills.
Reinstall the Cast Iron Grills.
Open the Pellet Hopper Lid, found in the rear of your grill, behind the lid. Check for any foreign objects.
Fill the hopper with your choice of wood pellet fuel. Replace the hopper lid.
Plug your
into the nearest AC outlet.

With today's lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the
importance of reducing fat intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low
fat method of cooking, such as grilling.
Throughout this manual, you will notice the emphasis on grilling food slowly at MEDIUM temperature
settings. Because of the benefit of convection cooking, and the use of the "Grillmate" or "Flavor Guard",
your Louisiana Grill will enable you to avoid flare-ups and maximize the nutritional value of the foods
that you cook.

Do not move your Louisiana Grill while operating or while the barbecue is hot. Make sure the fire is
completely out and that the grill is completely cold before transporting the grill.
Following is a list of the important tips that will contribute to the cooking
perfection that you can expect when using your Louisiana Grill.
Operating the Grill
Initial Burn Off
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, we recommend that you "burn off" the grill to ride it of any
foreign matter. Remove the cast iron grills and wash with a mild soap and detergent. With the grills
removed, light and operate the grill on PRE-HEAT with the lid down for 10 – 20 minutes. After burn off,
turn the control knob to OFF and replace the seasoned grills.
Lighting your Grill
It is recommended practise to always go through the INITIAL SET UP Procedures after every 5 to 10
uses. This will ensure proper ignition and many happy grilling experiences. Light as per instructions
found in detail later in this manual. If the grill fails to light, this is most likely due to a dirty or full burn pot
blocking the auto igniter air passages. (refer to lighting instructions found elsewhere in this manual)
Should your auto igniter refuse to ignite the wood pellets, it is easy to light your grill manually with a
match and lighting agent. (refer to manual lighting instructions found elsewhere in this manual)
Pre-Heating
It is extremely important to ALWAYS allow your grill to preheat before cooking. This allows the grill and
cast iron grates to heat up quicker and the grill is able to maintain its cooking temperature once your
food is put placed in the cooking area. If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a
longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to cooking temperatures.
Always pre-heat your Louisiana Grill with the lid closed. After your Grill has ignited, set your control
knob to PREHEAT for 10-15 minutes depending on weather. This gives you enough time to prepare
your food for the grill; as well it is the final step in cleaning your cast iron grates, and the "Grillmate".
Lid Position
Always cook with the lid closed. Not only does this keep the temperature even, the food will
cook faster, using less fuel. A closed lid also helps to create a smokier flavour. You can slow
down your cooking by propping up the lid using the grill lifter.
