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 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 coat 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® Pellet Grill you must burn off the protective residues from manufacturing.

  1. Plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded electrical outlet.
  2. Inspect pellet hopper and auger prior to adding pellets to ensure there are no foreign objects that could hinder startup. Ensure the agitator is in the closed position.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill fig6
  3. Add pellets using Broil King® brand hardwood pellets for best results. Never use heating fuel pellets.
  4. Set the Roto-Draft™ exhaust damper to position 5 (wide open) to let the maximum amount of air in to fuel the fire.
  5. Open the lid during preheat for 10 min or until white smoke turns clear.
  6. Power on the grill to activate the controller. After a few seconds, the grill will go into startup mode.
  7. Set temperature to 500°F (260°C). Note: on initial burn in the grill will take longer to heat up as the auger will need to be primed with fuel prior to ignition. When target temperature is reached – burn for an additional 15-20 minutes. This will burn off any of the protective coating 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Clean the grease tray frequently to reduce the possibility of a grease fire. Please see “Maintenance” for more details.
  11.  Clean the burn pot using the agitator and remove the ashes from the ash tray frequently to ensure best performance. When you are finished cleaning out the burn pot you must ensure the agitator is in the closed position.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill fig7
  12. 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.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill fig8Press 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 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. Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill
fig9COOKING
Once 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 shutdown cycle (15 minutes). Once grill is completely cool, unplug and remove ash from 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 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill
fig14

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 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 meats. Try it 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 flavor, compared to a random mix of single species pellets which can offer inconsistent flavors and cooking performance. Our premium pellets are a key ingredient to your next cook out. 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 it with: Beef, Poultry, Pork.
63939 – Griller’s Select Pellet Blend
Maple / Oak / Cherry
This pellet blend offers a lighter and slightly sweet smoke, designed to not over-power natural flavors. A great choice as an everyday grilling pellet. Try it 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® 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 flavor and yields incredibly tender results.
Roasting: 350°F to 400°F (176°C to 205°C)
Also known as indirect grilling, this is 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 flavor 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.

COOKING TECHNIQUES

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 around 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 centered on the center line of spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
  • Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it on the pellet grill. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in tightly.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill fig16

ROTISSERIE BALANCE

  1. Loosen the rod bushing to allow the balance to turn freely.
  2. Set the rotisserie rod in the support slots. Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the bottom.
  3. Adjust the rotisserie balance to the top of the rod, opposite the heaviest side of the meat.
  4. Tighten the rod bushing. Periodically, check to see if the meat turns smoothly while cooking. Adjust the rotisserie balance as necessary.
    CAUTION:
    Use oven mitt when adjusting rotisserie balance.

USING A SPIT – LEG OF LAMBBroil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill

  1. Have 3” of bone sawed from small end of leg.
  2. Leave meat around bone intact to form a flap.
  3. Put a spit fork on rod.
  4. Fold flap up and run rod through flap and leg.
  5. Put second fork on rod and insert forks in each end of leg. Test for balance. Tighten screws.

USING A SPIT – POULTRYBroil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill

**THE PERFECT STEAK GRILLING GUIDEBroil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill
fig20 MARINADE INGREDIENTS***

  • 4 steaks (preferably New York Strip), 1” thick
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    *Try the Broil King® The Perfect Steak™ marinade or The Perfect BBQ™ (#50990) sauce for fantastic results.

PREPARING THE STEAKS

Trim excess fat from the steaks. In a heavy, resealable plastic bag combine the remaining ingredients. Marinate the steaks for 1 hour at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. If refrigerating, bring steaks close to room temperature 1 hour before grilling for more even cooking.

PERFECT GRILLING TIPS

Brush grids with a high smoke point oil and preheat the pellet grill using the GRILL setting (600°F/315°C).

A. Place food on the barbecue at a 45° angle and cook according to the timing on the cooking charts found on page 7.
B. Turn the steak over grilling on the same 45° angle.
C. Turn the steak over and grill on the opposite 45° angle.
D. Finally, turn the steak over and grill on the same 45° angle.(see the perfect steak grilling guide on page 6)Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet

MAINTENANCE

PELLET HOPPER CLEAN OUT
Your Broil King® Pellet Grill has a hopper clean out system designed for easy removal of excess fuel to quickly change pellet flavors or clean out remaining pellets after use.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill
fig23 GREASE CLEAN OUT
Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the grill and failing to clean the grease management system on a consistent basis. 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.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill
fig24 ASH CLEAN OUT
After each cook out wait for the grill to completely cool before removing and emptying the Ash Tray. 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 ashes which are completely cool and extinguished.Broil King 496051 Regal 500 Pellet Grill
fig24Return the Agitator to the closed position before using the grill again. Broil King 496051 Regal 500
Pellet Grill fig26DISPOSAL 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 on 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® 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)Broil King 496051
