S ET UP PROCEDURE
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.
Open the SMOKER LID and remove the
Cooking Grids (13). “Tailgate” comes
with 1 grid, the “450”, “570”, “680”, “1080”
and “Whole Hog” models come with 2
sections.
Remove the “Arched Flavor Guard”
cooking surface (12).
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 (7)
and check the burn pot (9) area, remove
any foreign items. Ensure that the air
holes in the grate`(7) and the igniter (8)
are clear of debris.
You can line the bottom of the Smokin
Grill with heavy-duty aluminium foil. Line
from left to right, starting under the burn
pot (9) area and going to the grease stop. This will make clean-up and general maintenance easier.
Install the Catch Bucket Hanger and Bucket (11)
Re-install the burn pot (9). Ensure that the pot is sitting snug to the bottom of the barrel and that it is slid all the way
into the side of the barrel opening.
Next re-install the burn grate (7). Ensure that the stainless steel grate is setting down and snug in the burn pot with the
two igniter holes (8) visible and clear of obstructions.
Re-install the “Arched Flavor Guard” (12). This mounts back on the side bracket located on each side of the burn area.
The opening of the “U” shape should be facing downwards. One end of the Flavor Guard (12) does have a slot cut into it.
This hooks over the moveable hanging bracket found over the pellet drop chute area. You may want to line the Arched
Flavor Guard with heavy duty aluminium foil, again to aid in clean-up.
Reinstall the Cooking Grids (13).
Open the Pellet Hopper Lid (1), found on the side of your Smokin Grill. Check for any foreign objects.
Fill the hopper(2) with your choice of all natural wood pellet fuel. Close the hopper lid.
Plug your “Country Smoker” into the nearest grounded 110 volt AC outlet, minimum 5 amp. (10 amp for dual hoppers)
You are now ready to push the Power Switch (17) and Start touch pad to enjoy that savory taste of pellet convection
cooking.
TIP It is a highly recommended practice to always go through these basic
SET UP PROCEDURES after every 1 to 3 cookings. This will ensure proper
ignition, heat output and many continuous happy grilling experiences.
