PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
DANGER
If you smell gas:
· Shut off gas to the appliance.
· Extinguish any open flame.
· Open lid.
· If odor continues, keep away from the appliance and immediately call your
gas supplier or your fire department.
WARNING
· Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
· An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
INSTALLATION CODES
· The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Natural
gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or propane storage and handling
code, B149.2.
· LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 20 lbs (9 kg)
liquid propane gas cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4″ (46.35 cm) high,
12-1/4″(31 cm) diameter., not included with grill. Never connect your gas
grill to an LP gas cylinder that exceeds this capacity.
1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An
incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP gas cylinder can be dangerous. The
overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas cylinder (a hot
summer day, gas cylinder left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be
released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released
from the cylinder is flammable and can be explosive.
2. The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor withdraw. The LP gas
tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve. Do not use an LP gas
cylinder if it has a damaged valve or showslighter signs of dents, gouges,
bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of
visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately
by a liquid propane supplier.
2
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not
attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel
supply.
3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or
is still hot. When the grill is not in use, ensure regulator knob is turned to
OFF and disconnect the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while
the gas cylinder is attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or
near the appliance.
4. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be
stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosure area.
5. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator
to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over
winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and
brush. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
6. This outdoor grill is not intended for installation in/on recreation
vehicles or boats.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car,
boat or home. This appliance is not intended for and should never be used as a

CHARCOAL WARNINGS
Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar
chemicals for lighting or relighting. Use only firelighters complying to
en1860-3. Keep all such substances and liquids well away from appliance when
in use.
1. Open the lid carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and
steam trapped inside. When opening the lid at high temperatures it is
essential to lift the lid only slightly, which allows air to enter slowly and
safely, preventing any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury. May emit
hot embers while in use.
2. It is highly recommended that you use lump charcoal in your grill. It
burns for longer and produces less ash, which can restrict the airflow. Do not
use coal in this product. Charcoal not included.
3. It is recommended that you do not stoke or turn the coals once they are
alight. This allows the charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.
: May emit hot embers while in use.

CARBON MONOXIDE (”
“)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
· See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
· Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

- With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss® units should keep a minimum clearance of 914 mm (36 inches) from combustible constructions and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This appliance must not be placed under an overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
-
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:
· If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results. · Organize Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your
grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done! · To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help you determine what to cook and how long it will take. · In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes. · Avoid lifting the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be flexible with your serving time; add extra cooking time each time you open the lid. · Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside. · Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey. Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes. -
As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:
· Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups. Even in hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.
· Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat from over cooking and drying out.
· You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.
7
Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the thermometer. All temperatures listed below are approximate and are affected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the quality of fuel being used, the lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.
HIGH TEMPERATURES
190 215° 375 420°
This range is used to grill at high heat, without any contact with flame. High temperature is also used as the burn-off temperature to clean off the cooking grids after use. Additionally, high heat can be used in extreme cold weather conditions to compensate for the contrast of temperatures between outside and inside the unit.
MEDIUM TEMPERATURES
135 180° 275 356°
This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing off that slow smoked creation. Cooking at these temperatures will greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.
LOW TEMPERATURES
65 125° 150 257°
This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods
warm. Infuse more smoke flavor and keep your meats juicy by cooking longer at
a lower temperature (also known as low and slow). Highly recommended for the
big turkey at Thanksgiving, juicy ham at Easter, or the huge holiday feast.
Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of a
smoker. There are two types of smoking: hot smoking and cold smoking. Hot
smoking, another name for low and slow cooking, is generally done at 65-122°C
/ 150-250°F. Hot smoking works best when longer cooking time is required, such
as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry. Cold smoking is when the food is
located so far away from the fire that it smokes without cooking, and at
temperatures of 15-32°C / 60-90°F.
TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to a low temperature range
immediately after putting your food on the grill. This allows the smoke to
penetrate the meats.
The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before
the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs prefer to smoke at the end of
a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes
perfect!

The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator
supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC) and is for use with
liquid propane (LP) gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be
used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4″ (46.35
cm) high, 12-1/4″(31 cm) diameter. Contact your gas supplier for a special
regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If
it is evident there is excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the
hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used. The replacement hose
assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
1. Make sure the gas cylinder valve is in the CLOSED position.
· From the side of the cart, place foot ring of gas cylinder onto the gas
cylinder bracket. Note Fig. A.
· Use the gas cylinder wire retainer to secure the gas cylinder in a fixed
position. Note Fig. B.
2. It is important to ensure the gas cylinder is completely upright, as it is
unsafe to operate the grill if the gas cylinder is not installed properly.
3. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning
the knob clockwise to the “O” position.
4. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening and the top of
the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas cylinder to assure it has
proper external male threads (type 1 connection per ANS Z21.81).
5. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the regulator
valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until firm. Hand-tighten only.
Note Fig. C.
6. Gas cylinder is now installed.
FIG. FIG.
FIG.
The outdoor grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes with the National
Electrical Code ANS/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the gas cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in
use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is
provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in
leakage of propane.
5. The LP gas cylinder used must have a collar to protect the gas cylinder
valve.
6. Always keep the LP cylinder at 90 degrees (upright) orientation to provide
vapor withdrawl.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a humming noise. A low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with operation of the grill. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure should be done every time a new LP gas tank is connected to your grill.
9
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your
gas grill, perform a leak test on the connection between the regulator and the
gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or
explosion. A leak test should be performed a minimum of once a season, as well
as:
· before lighting your grill for the first time, · every time the gas cylinder
has been changed, · after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads, ·
after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
Supplies Required:
1 x Bowl (empty, clean) 1 x Paint Brush (clean) Dish Washing Liquid Water
Watch for bubbles
Procedure:
1. Position the grill in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the grill is cool to
the touch, and not in use. Verify that the regulator value is turned to the
“O” position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or cigarette smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid
in a bowl. The solution will make bubble, as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the
regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles coming
from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas grill if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Care for alternative measures of testing to ensure proper precaution.
1. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by turning
the knob clockwise to the OFF position. 2. Turn the cylinder counter-clockwise
(by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the
protective caps
on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if
not empty).
NOTE: If storing the grill indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.
WARNING: Do not fold up or transport grill with gas cylinder attached. The
cylinder may loosen off the valve and cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in
an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas cylinder first
before travel or storage.
10
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.
CAUTION: Keep outdoor gas cooking appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire. Attempting to light the burner with lid closed may cause and explosion.
1. Open lid during lighting.
2. Set all control knobs to the “O” position.
3. Open the cylinder/gas valve according to the operating instructions on
tank.
4. Push and turn the burn control knob counter-clockwise to ” (light
position)”.
5. Push the igniter button in repetitively until the burner catches flame.
Listen for a “click” sound to indicate a spark from the igniter, and look for
flame to ensure the burner is lit.
6. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn valve to “O”, wait 5
minutes, and repeat lighting instruction. After lighting, observe the burner
flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height matches
illustration shown.
7. If the above points do not work, follow Manual Lighting Procedure.

If the burner goes out during operation, turn the Control Knobs to the “O” position. Wait five minutes before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE If for any reason your igniter fails after three or
four attempts, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual
method.
1. Ensure the Control Knobs are turned to the “O” position. Allow any
accumulated gas to dissipate.
2. After five minutes, check the following:
· Visually confirm that the igniter is working by pushing the igniter button
and looking at the igniter tip for a spark. If no spark, adjust the distance
between the igniter (electrode) tip and burner to 4.5 mm (3/16 in).
· Visually confirm that the burner tube and portholes are not obstructed. If
blocked, follow Care & Maintenance instructions.
3. If the above points do not work, follow Troubleshooting instructions.

Open the cylinder/gas valve according to the operating
instructions on tank. 4. Push and turn the burner control knob counter-
clockwise to
” (light position). Quickly and carefully, using a long match or long-nosed
lighter, place a lit flame near the burner and watch the burner catch flame.
Gain access to the burner from beneath the Cooking Grids and Heat Tents.
Position lit match near the side of the burner.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to light another area of the burner. This can cause
injury. 5. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn burner Control
Knob to “O”, wait 5 minutes, and repeat lighting instruction. After lighting,
observe the burner flame. Make sure all burner ports are lit and flame height
matches illustration shown previously. NOTE: Each burner lights independently
– repeat same steps for other burner. WARNING: Never lean over the cooking
area while lighting your gas grill. Keep your face and body a safe distance
(at least 457 mm / 18 inches) from the cooking grid surface when lighting your
grill by match. 6. If the above points do not work, see Troubleshooting.
1. When finished cooking, turn gas cylinder valve to the CLOSED position, and
allow the regulator knob to pop out. This safety feature locks the regulator
knob to ensure that the gas is no longer flowing.
2. Turn Control Knobs to the “O” position. NOTE: A “poof” sound is normal as
the last of the LP gas is burned.
3. Disconnect gas supply by following the Disconnecting A Gas Cylinder
instructions. WARNING: Allow the grill to cool completely, and remove the gas
cylinder, before moving, travel, or for storage.
12
Flare-ups are a part of cooking meats on a grill and add to the unique flavor
of grilling. Excessive flare-ups can over-cook your food and be dangerous. If
a grease fire occurs, close the lid and turn the burner knob(s) to “O” until
grease burns out. Be careful when opening the lid as a sudden flare-up may
occur. If excessive flare-ups occur, do not pour water onto the flames.
CAUTION: Putting out grease fires by only closing the lid is not possible.
Excessive flare-ups result from build-up of grease in the bottom of your
grill.
1. If a grease fire develops, turn burner knobs to the “O” position, LP gas
tank valve CLOSED. Do not use water on a grease fire. This can cause grease to
splatter and could result in serious burns, bodily harm or other damage.
2. Do not leave the grill unattended while preheating or burning off food
residue on HIGH. If grill has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur.
WARNING: When cooking, fire extinguishing materials should be readily
accessible. In the event of an oil/ grease fire, use type BC dry chemical fire
extinguisher or smother with dirt, sand or baking soda. Do NOT attempt to
extinguish with water.
MINIMIZE FLARE-UPS · Trim excess fat from meats prior to cooking. · Cook high
fat content meats on LOW setting or indirectly. · Ensure that your grill is on
a hard, level, non-combustible surface and the grease is allowed to drain into
the grease
receptacle.
Charcoal barbecues are extremely versatile. High temperatures are ideal for
quickly cooking burgers and sausages, try adding some wood chips to the
charcoal, or try combining different flavor wood chips to make your meats even
more flavorful.
The charcoal tray has six positions in which it can operate. Lock the charcoal
tray in the uppermost position, as close to the cooking grids as possible,
when starting the grill. This location is also used when you require the most
heat, for that quick “sear” or intense heat. Lowering the Charcoal Tray from
the food and adjusting the intake vents will reduce the temperature resulting
in that famous “slow and low” flavor. You can regulate the temperature also by
moving the front Air Damper ventilation slide to the left or right. The Smoke
Stack is also a variant to controlling your temperature, as you can rotate
your Smoke Stack Lid to be more open or closed. Closing these vents either
partially or completely will help cool down the coals. Do not completely close
the air vents unless you are trying to cool down or extinguish a flame. When
covering the grill for storage, open the air vents to allow air movement
within the grill.
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a
grill burn-off. Start the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C /
350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid
it of any foreign matter.
13
IMPORTANT: The outside ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of
charcoal briquettes will all affect your cooking temperature. Observe the time
it takes to reach your desired temperature, and adjust your cooking time as
needed.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Charcoal Ash Tray is correctly in place during lighting
and anytime during use.
1. Open the charcoal grill lid and remove the cooking grids. 2. Place
charcoal briquettes into the charcoal box, on top of the airflow plate. This
creates space between the fan and the
fuel for airflow. Add some lighter cubes, or solid firelighters, to assist
with lighting the charcoal briquettes. 3. Light the lighter cubes using a
long-nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught, wait about 10
minutes to allow
all charcoal briquettes to light. Fully open the Air Damper located on the
front of the unit on to maximum. NOTE: It is recommended that you do not stoke
or turn the charcoal once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn
more uniformly and efficiently.
4. After 10 minutes, replace the cooking grids, and close the charcoal grill
lid. Monitor the temperature on the charcoal grill lid and allow the unit to
preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the height of the Charcoal
Tray to the highest level. Check the Air Damper on the front of the unit and
the Smoke Stack Lid, and leave the airflow vents fully open. Charcoal requires
oxygen to burn.
5. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your charcoal grill
at your desired temperature! Adjust Air Damper on the front of the unit and
the Smoke Stack Lid to promote more or less airflow through the Charcoal Grill
Chamber.
If you require a longer cooking time (e.g. when roasting a whole cut or slow-
smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal. 1. Open the Charcoal Grill
Chamber lid carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam
trapped inside. Using heat-resistant gloves or cooking mitts, remove the
cooking grids to expose the Charcoal Tray. IMPORTANT: The grill will become
very hot, and serious injury may occur. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-
resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times.
2. Carefully, using long-handled tongs, add new charcoal briquettes to the
Charcoal Tray. Open the Air Dampers and the Smoke Stack Lid to maximum to
promote more airflow through the Charcoal Grill Chamber to light the new
charcoal briquettes.
3. Once the new charcoal briquettes have lit, replace the cooking grids, and
continue use.
1. Stop adding fuel to the Charcoal Tray. 2. Completely close all Air Dampers
and the Smoke Stack Lid to stop airflow through the Charcoal Grill Chamber and
allow
the fire to die out naturally. IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the
charcoal as this could damage the charcoal grill.

With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, a
factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake. One of the best
ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking,
such as smoking. As the Electric Smoker uses natural wood chips, the savory
wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar-based
sauces.
Before using the Electric Smoker for the first time, it is important to cure
the smoker to minimize damage to the finishing and rid it of any foreign
matter.
1. Remove the Water Pan and any fuel from the Wood Chip Tray. 2. Close the
Air Dampers located on the backside of the Smoker Cabinet. Open the Smoker
Door and clean the inside glass
using a vinegar/water solution and paper towel. IMPORTANT: Do not use an oven
cleaner, glass cleaner, or abrasive material, as these products will leave a
film on the glass, and when heated, it will make the glass dirty quicker and
can will residue will bake on to the glass.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. 4. Start the Electric
Smoker and operate at the highest temperature with the Smoker Door closed for
20 to 30 minutes to
burn-off the unit.
1. Open the Smoker Door and carefully ¾ fill the Water Pan with water or
marinade. IMPORTANT: Do not fill completely or overfill the water pan, as this
could damage your electrical element and/or parts while the smoker is in use.
2. Adjust the Cooking Grids to the desired height for the foods you intend to
smoke. Once satisfied with the height of your grids, close the Smoker Door.
3. Remove the Wood Chip Tray from the front-bottom of the Cart. Open the Wood
Chip Tray lid, add wood chips, then slide back into the front of the cart.
NOTE: We recommend using wood chips, not wood chunks, as wood chips are
smaller and easier to fit inside the wood chip tray. Do not use wood pellets
in the Wood Chip Tray.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. 5. With the Smoker Door
closed, turn the Smoker Control Knob to turn on the electric element inside
the Smoker. Open the
Air Dampers located on the backside of the Smoker Cabinet. 6. Preheat your
Smoker. The Smoker will begin to produce smoke while preheating. 7. After
preheating is complete, you will notice that your wood chips will be smoking.
You are ready to enjoy your Smoker
at your desired time and temperature! Slide out and place food on the cooking
grids, leaving room between each item to allow smoke and moisture to circulate
evenly. IMPORTANT: When selecting a low temperature setting after preheating,
allow time for the Smoker temperature to decrease and stabilize at the new
desired temperature.
15
ELECTRICAL ELEMENT FAILURE PROCEDURE If for any reason your electric element
fails to operate, follow Troubleshooting instructions.
Check the water level periodically during your cooking session and add water
if needed. 1. Wearing heat-resistant barbecue mitts, open the Smoker Door. 2.
Carefully refill the Water Pan with water or marinade until it is ¾ full.
Close the Smoker Door. IMPORTANT: Do not fill completely or overfill the water
pan, as this could damage your electrical element and/or parts while the
smoker is in use.
Check your wood chip tray periodically during your cooking session and add
more wood chips if needed. 1. Wearing heat-resistant barbecue mitts, remove
the Wood Chip Tray from the opening on the front panel of the unit. 2.
Carefully open the lid, and refill the Wood Chip Tray with new wood chips.
Close the Wood Chip Tray lid once full. 3. Replace the Wood Chip Tray into the
front panel. NOTE: Use hardwood wood chips that have been seasoned, such as
pecan, hickory, oak, apple, cherry, alder, mesquite or a competition blend. It
is not necessary to soak the wood chips prior to smoking, as hardwoods have
natural moisture in the wood that will release as it heats up and combusts. Do
not use resin woods like pine or cedar in your Smoker. Do not use wood pellets
in the Wood Chip Tray.
1. When finished, turn the Smoker Control Knob to off. The electric element
will turn off, and the wood chips will stop smoking.
TIP: If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the Smoker
to burn-off for an extra 10 to 20 minutes to a high temperature with the
Smoker Door closed.

Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:
-
· To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the grill must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your tank; if ¾ empty, replace with full tank.
-
· Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the grill or before an extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
· The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow. -
· Clean out the charcoal tray when a build-up of ash is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage of the holes on the charcoal airflow plate. Check your charcoal tray often, and clean out as necessary. Obstruction to the charcoal tray may result in failure to reach a desired temperature.
-
· Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
· Check your grease cups and grease trays often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do. IMPORTANT: The water pan may accumulate grease. Refill and replace the water in the water pan often.
· The glass of the Electric Smoker door is tempered and will not break with high heat; however, excessive build-up may cause the door to not close if not cleaned regularly. Smoke and debris can be removed with frequent cleaning of the glass.
· Door seal and inside seam seal attaches to, should be cleaned with a clean damp cloth after each use to keep seal in proper working condition.
17 -
· Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
· Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Pit Boss® owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to become more familiar with your grill:
- · Keep everything in the kitchen and cooking area clean. Use different
platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or
transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination
of bacteria. Each marinade or basting sauce should have its own utensil.
· Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below 3ºC / 37ºF). · A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure
to bring it to a boil before serving. · Cooked foods should not be left out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration
for more than two hours. · Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria
can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry. -
· Be prepared, or Mise en Place. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all ingredients you require at grill side before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before lighting the grill.
· A BBQ floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a BBQ floor mat would protect a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills. -
· To infuse more smoke flavor into your meats, cook longer and at lower temperatures (also known as low and slow). Meat will close its fibers after it reaches an internal temperature of 49ºC / 120ºF. Misting, or mopping, are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
· While searing your meats, cook with the lid down. Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the foods you are cooking. Smoking foods with hardwood wood chips will turn meats and poultry pink. The band of pink (after cooking) is referred to as a smoke ring and is highly prized by outdoor chefs.
· Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups. · Leave open space between the foods and the extremities of the barrel for proper heat flow. Food on a crowded grill
will require more cooking time. · Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing
utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape. · Foods in deep casserole dishes will require more time to cook than a shallow baking pan. · It’s a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and
roasts, benefit from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface by heat to ease back to the center of the meat, adding more flavor.
19
Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on
time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what you cooked, at
what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your
taste for the next time. Practice makes perfect. The culinary art of hot
smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood
flavor (and a sought-after smoke ring) on your meats. Higher cooking
temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor.
TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows
the natural juices to migrate back into the meat fiber, giving a much juicer,
flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60
minutes, depending on the size of the protein.

All combination grills by Pit Boss®, manufactured by Dansons, carry a limited
warranty from the date of sale by the original owner. The warranty coverage
begins on the original date of purchase and proof of date of purchase, or copy
of original bill of sale, is required to validate the warranty. Customers will
be subject to parts, shipping, and handling fees if unable to provide proof of
the purchase or after the warranty has expired. Dansons carries a five (5)
year warranty against defects and workmanship on all parts, two (2) years on
gas components, and five (5) years on electrical components. Dansons warrants
that all part(s) are free of defects in material and workmanship, for the
length of use and ownership of the original purchaser. Warranty does not cover
damage from wear and tear, such as scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor
cosmetic cracks. These aesthetic changes of the grill do not affect its
performance. Repair or replacement of any part does not extend past the
limited warranty from date of purchase. During the term of the warranty,
Dansons’ obligation shall be limited to furnishing a replacement for defective
and/or failed components. As long as it is within the warranty period,
Dansons’ will not charge for repair or replacement for parts returned, freight
prepaid, if the part(s) are found by Dansons’ to be defective upon
examination. Dansons’ shall not be liable for transportation charges, labor
costs, or export duties. Except as provided in these conditions of warranty,
repair or replacement of parts in the manner and for the period of time
mentioned heretofore shall constitute the fulfillment of all direct and
derivate liabilities and obligations from Dansons to you. Dansons takes every
precaution to utilize materials that retard rust. Even with these safeguards,
the protective coatings can be compromised by various substances and
conditions beyond Dansons’ control. High temperatures, excessive humidity,
chlorine, industrial fumes, fertilizers, lawn pesticides and salt are some of
the substances that can affect metal coatings. For these reasons, the warranty
does not cover rust or oxidization, unless there is loss of structural
integrity on the grill component. Should any of the above occur, kindly refer
to the care and maintenance section to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
Dansons recommends the use of a grill cover when the grill is not in use. This
warranty is based on normal domestic use and service of the grill and neither
limited warranty coverage’s apply for a grill which is used in commercial
applications.
There is no written or implied performance warranty on Pit Boss® grills, as
the manufacturer has no control over the installation, operation, cleaning,
maintenance or the type of fuel burned. This warranty will not apply nor will
Dansons assume responsibility if your appliance has not been installed,
operated, cleaned and maintained in strict accordance with this owner’s
manual. Any use of gas not outlined in this manual may void the warranty. The
warranty does not cover damage or breakage due to misuse, improper handling or
modifications. Neither Dansons, or authorized Pit Boss® dealer, accepts
responsibility, legal or otherwise, for the incidental or consequential damage
to the property or persons resulting from the use of this product. Whether a
claim is made against Dansons based on the breach of this warranty or any
other type of warranty expressed or implied by law, the manufacturer shall in
no event be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or other damages
of any nature whatsoever in excess of the original purchase of this product.
All warranties by manufacturer are set forth herein and no claim shall be made
against manufacturer on any warranty or representation. Some states do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or
limitations of implied warranties, so the limitations or exclusions set forth
in this limited warranty may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may have other rights, which vary from state to
state.
