GETTING STARTED
Remove the cooking grids and grease tray: wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel, do not air dry, and do not put in the dishwasher.
SEASONING CAST IRON COOKING GRIDS:
Coat your cast iron cooking grids with high smoke point cooking oil. Use a
paper towel or cloth to cover all surfaces.
PRIMING THE GREASE SYSTEM
The grease tray on your Broil King® Smoke™ Pellet Grill helps to redirect the
cold smoke up towards the heat shield and chimney. To prime the grease tray,
add a ½cup [125ml] of water to the empty grease trap. Note: As you use your
grill the water will be replaced by grease.
INITIAL ‘BURN-IN’
Before you start to cook on your Broil King® Smoke™ Pellet Grill you must burn
off the protective residues from manufacturing.
- Plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded electrical outlet.
- Inspect the pellet hopper and auger pribeforeding pellets to ensure there are no foreign objects that could hinder startup. Ensure the agitator is in the closed position.
- Add pellets using Broil King® brand hardwood pellets for best results. Never use heating fuel pellets.
- Set the Roto-Draft™ exhaust damper to position 5 (wide open) to let the maximum amount of air in to fuel the fire.
- Open the lid during preheat for 10 min or until the white smoke turns clear.
- Power on the grill to activate the controller. After a few seconds, the grill will go into startup mode.
- Set temthe perature to 500°F (260°C). Note: on initial burn, the grill will take longer to heat up as the auger will need to be primed with fuel before ignition. When the target temperature is reached – burn for an additional 15-20 minutes. This will burn off any of the protective coatings from manufacturing and begin the process of smoke-curing the internal components of the grill. The more you use your pellet grill, the better the seasoning will be.
- When the grill is cool, thoroughly season cooking grids by spraying or wiping a high smoke point cooking oil on them. Ensure that the entire surface is generously coated including the corners. For cast iron cooking grids, light seasoning should be done before every use.
- When cooking is complete, use the trap door located on the back of the pellet hopper to remove any excess fuel and store fuel in a warm dry place so it is ready for your next cookout.
- Clean the grease tray frequently to reduce the possibility of a grease fire. Please see “Maintenance” for more details.
- Clean the burn pot using the agitator and remove the ashes from the ashtray frequently to ensure better performance. When you are finished cleaning out the burn pot you must ensure the agitator is in the closed position.
- Note: your grill will always start with an ignition and preheat cycle and end with a 15-minute shut-down.
LIGHTING/START-UP
Open the lid of the smoker and ensure the chimney damper is in the open
position.
Press the illuminated power button on the grill to activate the controller. After a few seconds, the grill will automatically go into ignition and preheat cycle. Preheat to the desired cooking temperature by using the control dial. Set the desired temperature by pushing in the dial. You will hear a beep and the set temperature will flash for three seconds then return to the actual temperature. If you prefer to use a preset temperature, press the SMOKE, ROAST or GRILL button. The lid must be open during the preheat for the first 10 minutes or until white smoke turns clear. You can use the Broil King® grid lifter (60745) to hold the lid open at a lower position in case of windy or rainy conditions.
COOKING
- Once the preheat cycle is complete and the desired temperature is reached, load food into the grill and close the lid.
- While cooking you may add pellets directly into the pellet hopper as needed.
SHUT-DOWN
Press the illuminated power button on the grill to deactivate the controller.
After a few seconds, the grill will automatically go into a shutdown cycle (15
minutes). Once the grill is completely cool, unplug and remove ash from the
burn pot using the agitator. Clean the grease tray. Empty pellet hopper using
hopper cleanout. For best cooking results store pellets in a cool dry place
between cookouts.

PELLET FUEL
Broil King Premium Grilling Pellets
The perfect barbecue starts with the right kind of fuel. Broil King® Premium
Grilling Pellets are specifically designed to work with the Broil King Smoke
Series Pellet Grills. Our pellets are 100% natural and contain only premium
wood – no fillers, no oil additives, no binding agents – period. These pellets
burn hotter and more efficiently to provide optimal cooking performance and
flavour.
CAUTION
Always store wood pellets in a dry location, away from heat-producing
appliances and other fuel containers.
63920 – 100% Hickory Pellets
- The most iconic BBQ flavour.
- Hickory offers a strong smoke taste, often associated with bacon or smoked ham.
- This robust smoke works well with large cuts of meat.
- Try with: Beef, Poultry, Pork, Hearty Vegetables.
Premium Blends
Our source woods are mixed before pelletizing, ensuring that each pellet
contains the intended blend. This method allows for more repeatable cooking
performance with a consistent burn and smoke flavour, compared to a random mix
of single species pellets which can offer inconsistent flavours and cooking
performance. Our premium pellets are a key ingredient to your next cookout.
Check out these pellet varieties:
63930 – Smoke Master’s Pellet Blend
Maple/Hickory/Cherry
- A selection of pellets popular with competition BBQ champions.
- This blend offers hints of sweetness combined with a full-bodied hickory smoke.
- Adds a well-balanced smoke taste to grilled foods. Try Beef, Poultry, and Pork.
63939 – Griller’s Select Pellet Blend
Maple/Oak/Cherry
- This pellet blend offers a lighter and slightly sweet smoke, designed to not overpower natural flavours.
- A great choice as an everyday grilling pellet.
- Try with: Beef, Poultry, Pork, Fish, Vegetables, Pizza.
Note:
While using non-Broil King® branded food-grade wood grilling pellets will not
void your warranty, the Broil King® Smoke™ Pellet Grill is specifically
calibrated to use Broil King® Premium Grilling Pellets. Using other brands of
grill pellets can affect temperature and timing.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
Smoking: Less than 275°F (135°C)
This classic form of barbecue involves cooking larger cuts of meat at low
temperatures (less than 275°F 135°C) for a relatively long time (often 4+
hours). Broil King® premium grilling pellets will infuse slow-cooked meats and
other items with smoky barbecue flavour and yield incredibly tender results.
Roasting: 350°F to 400°F (176°C to 205°C)
Also known as indirect grilling, this is a similar setup to smoking; smoke
roasting is an accelerated version of the same principles. It works well for
more conventional roasts, chickens and items that are frequently oven-roasted.
The combination of smoke and cooking time creates great flavour in a shorter
time than true smoking. Rotisserie convection cooking in conjunction with
roasting temperatures creates incredible results (see page 08).
Direct Grilling: 400°F (205°C) or more
This method is the traditional backyard cook-out or barbecue. Ideal for
smaller items – steaks, chops, burgers, vegetables. The high heat sears the
exterior while cooking the interior.

ROTISSERIE CONVECTION COOKING
This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such as roasts or poultry.
The food is cooked by hot air circulating the meat.
- The rotisserie can accommodate up to 15lb (7kg) of meat with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For best results, the meat should be centred on the centre line of the spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
- Fasten the meat securely on the spit before placing it on the pellet grill. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly.
- Rotisserie Rod
- Rotisserie Fork
- Rotisserie Washer
- Rotisserie Balance
- Rotisserie Bushing
- Screw Clamp
- Rotisserie Motor
- Rotisserie Bracket
ROTISSERIE BALANCE
- Loosen the rod bushing to allow the balance to turn freely.
- Set the rotisserie rod in the support slots. Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.
- Adjust the rotisserie balance to the top of the rod, opposite the heaviest side of the meat.
- Tighten the rod bushing. Periodically, check to see if the meat turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the rotisserie balance as necessary.
CAUTION:
Use an oven mitt when adjusting the rotisserie balance.
USING A SPIT–LEG OF LAMB
- Have 3” of bone sawed from the small end of the leg.
- Leave meat around the bone intact to form a flap.
- Put a spit fork on the rod.
- Fold the flap up and run the rod through the flap and leg.
- Put a second fork on the rod and insert forks at each end of the leg. Balance test. Tighten screws.
USING A SPIT–POULTRY
- With the breast down, bring the neck skin up over the cavity.
- Turn under the edges of the skin; skewer to back skin.
- Loop twine around the skewer and tie.
- Turn the breast side up; tie or skewer wings to the body.
- Put a spit fork on the rod. Insert rod in neck skin parallel to backbone and exit just above the tail.
- Pant an ond fork on the rod and insert forks in the breast and tail. Balance test. Tighten screws.
- Tie tail to rod with twine. Cross legs; tie to tail.

Your Broil King® Smoke™ Pellet Grill has a hopper clean-out system designed
for easy removal of excess fuel to quickly change pellet flavours or clean out
remaining pellets after use.
- Place the bucket under the trap door.
- Open the trap door.
- Collect pellets.
- Secure the trap in the door in the sed position.
GREASE CLEANOUT
Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the grill and failing to
clean the grease management system consistently. In the unlikely event of a
grease fire while cooking, turn off / unplug the appliance and keep the lid
closed until the fire is completely out. Never keep the lid open during a
grease fire.
ASH CLEANOUT
After each cook wait for the grill to completely cool before removing and
emptying the Ash Tray. The first step is to open the agitator to the unlock
position indicated on the cover. You can slide the Agitator between lock and
unlock to help ash fall into the tray. Only dispose of ashes that are
completely cool and extinguished.
Return the Agitator to the closed position before using the grill again.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If
the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.”
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- The Broil King® Smoke™ Pellet Grill will give you many years of great service with minimal care. The seasoning process will help preserve the internal steel components. Use a stainless steel brush to clean cooking grids and components that are soiled.
- It may be necessary to clean and re-season your cooking grids. Brush them thoroughly with a Broil King® (#64014) stainless steel grill brush to remove any debris and apply a thin layer of a high smoke point oil. Then, place the cooking grids into your grill, and cook at 400°F (205°C) for 1 hour. Repeat as desired. This coating of oil will protect your cooking grids and provide years of trouble-free use.
- Clean the exterior using warm, soapy water.
- To clean the interior, use a Broil King® (#65641) wire-bristle grill brush to remove any debris from the cook box. The layer of oils that accumulates inside the smoker – the seasoning – is protective and does not need to be scrubbed clean with any frequency.
- Always keep your Broil King® Smoke™ Pellet Grill covered when not in use – use Broil King® grill cover #67069 for the Regal™ Pellet 500 (Model #496051) or grill cover #67065 for the Regal™ Pellet 400 (Model #495051)
