Pellet Only Smoker Cooking Mode

Wide temperature range operation using only wood pellets for heat, not using the heating element.

Application

  • This mode can be used for any indirect heat cooking on the grill racks including smoking, roasting, grilling, baking and more.
  • This mode may be useful if running off a battery as the electric element will not operate.

Temperature Range

  • Lowest target temperature of 70℃ / 158℉ in cold weather
  • Lowest target temperature of 100℃ / 212℉ in hot weather, as the smallest fire provides around 60℃ / 108℉ rise.
  • Highest target temperature of 300℃ / 572℉.

How To Use

  • Place in left and right drip trays (covered in foil), with grill racks in place.
  • Press MENU and rotate to PRO MODES, press control knob to select.
  • Rotate to PELLET ONLY SMOKER, press knob to select.
  • Set target temperature and smoke level (110℃ / 230℉ and below), press control know to confirm.
  • The grill will fire up.
  • Wait for grill to heat up. The knob backlight will turn red and the grill will beep 3 times, indicating the grill is hot enough to begin cooking.

Smoke Levels

  • Smoke is produced when wood pellets are delivered into the fire grate and smoulder before finally starting to burn with flames, at which point the smoke amount reduces. 
  • Smoke is produced in batches every 30 to 90 seconds, not continuously.
  • Smoke levels (Low, Medium, High) are available for target temperatures of 110℃ / 230℉ and below.
  • Smoke settings are achieved by modulating how frequently pellets are delivered.
    • HIGH smoke settings delivers more pellets each cycle with a longer time interval, for larger smoke releases. 
    • LOW smoke setting delivers pellets more frequently.
    • The total amount of pellets burnt per hour will be similar (at a given temperature setting) regardless of the smoke setting.
  • At higher temperatures smoke may still be produced, but will reduce as the target temperature increases due to an increasingly larger, clean burning fire.
