GMG HARDWOOD GREEN MOUNTAIN GRILLS BRAND PELLETS ARE MADE OF 100% KILN-DRIED SAWDUST THAT NEVER TOUCHES THE FLOOR. OUR PELLETS ARE HELD TOGETHER BY THE NATURAL LIGNINS IN THE WOOD AND ARE A LARGER DIAMETER PELLET THAT ALLOWS THEM TO LAST LONGER THAN STANDARD SIZE PELLETS. Taste, consistency, & versatility Food tested, pitmaster approved High BTU content for long burns Very low ash for easy clean up 28 LB BAG 7 40% MORE than the competition for the same price or less GREENMOUNTAINGRILLS.
GET TO KNOW YOUR GRILL GRILL FEATURES 12V DIRECT POWER Prime models run on 12V direct current (DC), a much safer and optimized power source that allows for our micro-adjusted variable speed fan and auger motor for more precise temp control, greater fuel economy, and less waste. VENTURI-STYLE FIREBOX The Venturi-Style design is lined with vertical vents creating a burn pot cyclone of airflow for maximum heat distribution and complete combustion with minimal waste.
GRILL FEATURES HOPPER 9 LB pellet capacity. LEG EXTENSION ENABLED HEAT SHIELD ADJUSTMENT This allows you to easily control the heat distribution, while grilling, by sliding the heat shield left and right. Move toward the heat if the grill is hotter on the right side and vice-versa. DIGITAL CONTROLLER (CONTINUED) ELEVATED BASE DESIGN 1 2 3 4 # The new durable, elevated base design still keeps a low profile cook while reducing heat transfer to ground surfaces.
PREFIRE CHECK OPERATING YOUR GRILL BEFORE YOU SET UP YOUR GRILL, MAKE SURE THE BACK AND SIDES OF THE GRILL ARE AT LEAST 24 INCHES FROM ANY COMBUSTIBLES, AND THERE IS AT LEAST 48 INCHES OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE CHIMNEY CAP AND ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS ABOVE THE GRILL. PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INFO SECTION BEFORE STARTING YOUR GRILL. RECOMMENDED POSITIONING OF HEAT SHIELD DO NOT over tighten the adjustment rod.
CONNECTING AND USING YOUR RECOMMENDED STEPS FOR SEASONING YOUR GRILL 30 mins MEAT PROBE 350°F To use this feature, just plug the connector into the receptacle on the front of the controller. Burn in the grill at 350°F for 30 minutes to remove any residue from the manufacturing process. Lift the stainless flap on the left side of the grill and push the probe through the hole. Then, insert the probe into the center of the food you are cooking.
°F UNDERSTANDING MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL AIR TEMPERATURE The PT200 Platinum Sensor sends data to the computer. This “brain” analyzes the data and adjusts the airflow and pellet fuel flow to maintain the set temperature. Many things affect the data gathered by the sensor – opening the lid, wind, grease splatter, humidity, altitude, and gravity (if the grill is not on level ground). The computer analyzes all the erratic information and averages it over time.
WOOD FIRED 101 • Smoke Flavor: You will get more smoke flavor at low temperatures than at high ones. If you wish to infuse a piece of meat with a smoky flavor, cook it at 150°–160°F for an hour or so before you turn up the grill to finish it off. • Let Meat Rest. Beef, pork, poultry, and fish will generally continue to cook after you remove them from the grill as the hot outer part of the meat influences the cooler interior.
ONCE THE GRILL HAS REACHED 150°F, YOU MAY INCREASE TO YOUR DESIRED TEMPERATURE. GENERAL OPERATING TIPS • If there is not a 5° increase within 20 minutes the grill will display FAL. At this point see page 78 of the troubleshooting section. • Setting the Temperature: Do not push any buttons until the computer finishes the 0-1-2-3 cycles and automatically goes to 150°F (66°C). Once it reaches 150°F (66°C), you can change to your desired setting.
TROUBLESHOOTING Grill doesn’t turn on when you press the power button. Check to make sure the power cord is plugged in. When the AC adapter is plugged into the wall, check that the light on the adapter comes on. Inspect both ends of the male-to-male power cord to ensure the connections aren't compromised. Check the circuit breaker and/or GFCI on the circuit the adapter is plugged into. Plug a small appliance into the same outlet to see if you have electricity. Unplug the grill. Remove the control panel.
TROUBLESHOOTING Auger is jamming. (CONTINUED) No pellets in the firebox. Assuming that you’ve charged the firebox so that there are pellets in the auger tube, turn the grill on and press the power button to send the control to cycle 0. Examine the auger bit through the firebox to see if it’s turning. If it is and there aren’t any pellets coming through, they are bridged up over the auger’s intake. Turn the grill off, sift the pellets around inside the hopper, and put the grill back into cycle 0.
