Fuel Feed Rate
The Idle Fuel Feed Rate is the rate of fuel delivery that
maintains the fire in the fire pot without raising the grill's
temperature.
In Cook Mode, whenever the grill temperature is at or above
the set temperature, the auger runs at the Idle Fuel Feed
Rate. If the grill temperature is below the set temperature,
the auger operates per the On Fuel Feed Rate.
We recommend the "P2" setting as the default Idle Fuel
Feed Rate while in Cook Mode.
For the experienced operator, the auger Idle Fuel Feed Rate
can be adjusted to improve the grill's performance. For
example, to optimize temperature stability at a high
temperature setting, select "P1" or "P0" to increase the
auger Idle Fuel Feed Rate. Or, if due to ambient conditions
the grill is unable to cool down enough to reach a low
temperature setting such as 180 degrees, select "P3", "P4",
or higher to decrease the Idle Fuel Feed Rate.
In Cook Mode, the Idle Fuel Feed Rate for the High
temperature setting is preprogrammed into the control. The
idle fuel feed auger timing at High is 15 seconds on / 15
seconds off and is independent of the Smoke Control switch
"P" setting. The preprogrammed fuel feed rate helps
maintain the elevated cooking temperature at the High
setting.
In Smoke Mode, increasing the "P" setting decreases the
fuel feed rate, lowering the grill temperature. Start at
setting "P2", adjust the "P" setting manually for the desired
temperature and/or smoke output.
