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.

FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF

Before using your smoker for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off.

Starting the smoker and operating at 177°C / 350°F with the grill lid on for 30 to 40 minutes will

burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.

PREHEATING

It is important to allow your grill to preheat before adding food to the unit. This allows the grill

and cooking grids to heat up quicker, kill off bacteria and other pathogens leftover from past

cooking sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its temperature once your food is placed.

Preheat with the grill lid on.

: 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.

START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Ensure the Fan Control Knob is turned off.

2. Remove the grill lid, cooking grid, and charcoal box lid.

3. 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.

4. Light the lighter cubes using a long-nosed lighter or safety

matches. Once it has caught, leave the charcoal box lid off

for about 10 minutes to allow all charcoal briquettes to

light. Turn the Fan Control Knob 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.

5. After 10 minutes, replace the charcoal box lid on the

charcoal box, then replace the cooking grid, and finally the

grill lid. Monitor the temperature on the grill lid and allow

the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Check the Ventilation Knob on the back of the grill lid,

and leave the airflow vents fully open.

ENGLISH

6. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your

grill at your desired temperature! Adjust the Fan Control

Knob and Ventilation Knob to promote more or less

airflow through the grill chamber.

REFUELING THE GRILL

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 lid carefully when cooking to avoid burns from the hot air and steam

trapped inside. Using heat-resistant gloves or cooking mitts, remove the grill lid, the

cooking grid and charcoal box lid.

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 box.

Adjust the Fan Control Knob to maximum to promote more airflow through

the grill chamber to light the new charcoal briquettes.

3. Once new charcoal briquettes have lit, replace charcoal box lid, cooking grid, and

continue use.

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

1. Turn the Fan Control Knob all the way off.

2. Stop adding fuel. Adjust the Ventilation Knob on the back of the grill lid to close

airflow vents and allow the fire to die naturally.

IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the

charcoal grill.

Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning.

An important step is allowing the grill and cooking grids to self-clean by running the

grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning and

maintenance tips to service your grill:

 

• Clean out the charcoal box when a build-up of ash is found, to ensure that there

are no signs of blockage of the holes on the charcoal box airflow plate. Check

your charcoal box often, and clean out as necessary.

• Check and wipe the charcoal box lid on a consistent basis, to ensure that the

holes are not blocked. Obstruction to the charcoal box lid holes may result in

failure to reach desired temperature.

 

• Using a 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 Fan Control

Knob off, and close the Ventilation Knob until the fire is completely out. Lightly

sprinkle baking soda, if available.

 

• 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 cabinet 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

long-term 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:

 

• 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 sauce should have its own utensil.

• Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below 3ºC /

37ºF). 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.

• 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.

• 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.

   

• Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of

the foods you are cooking. 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.

• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning

and flare-ups.

• 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.
