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.
