Manual Start-Up Procedure; Shutting Off Your Smoker - Louisiana Grills LG Series Manual

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. 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. Open the main barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn grate. Check the burn grate to ensure
there is no obstruction for proper ignition and that it is positioned properly. Place two (2) generous handfuls of pellets
into the burn grate. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small
amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add
another small amount of pellets over the burn grate.
IMPORTANT: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your
grill. Also, do not attempt to add more fire starter into a fire that is already burning or into a hot burn grate.
This may cause injury.
3. Light the contents of the burn grate using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn grate. This can cause injury.
4. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the grill, and close the grill lid. Continue start-up
by following steps two through four of Automatic Start-Up Procedure .
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
1. When finished cooking, close the main barrel lid. Let your grill run for five to ten minutes to go through its natural
cleaning method of a burn-off. If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the grill to burn-off for an
extra ten minutes. This will reduce the chance of causing a grease fire for the next start-up.
2. Once the burn-off is complete, keep the main barrel lid closed and press the Power Button to turn the unit off. This will
activate the automatic cool-down cycle . The feed system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the fan will
continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete. When the cycle is complete, the fan will turn off.
