HOW SHOULD I START MY PIT BOSS GRILL?
Start the grill with the lid open on the smoke setting for 10 minutes. (Smoke setting temperature range is 180-210° F/ 80-100° C). Then close the lid and adjust your temperature to the desired setpoint.
Starting the grill on the smoke setting ensures that the firepot is not overloaded with pellets.
Leaving the lid open prevents overloading the barrel with smoke and helps prevent a backdraft in the unit.
Once your grill reaches the desired cooking temperature, then food can be added to the grill.
Many Pit Boss Grills have a Prime Button. If your grill has never been used or has run completely out of pellets, it will need to be Primed to get pellets to the fire pot while the igniter is still hot.
The igniter stays hot for the first five minutes and then shuts itself off.
Usually, it takes longer than this for the pellets to travel from the hopper to the firepot on the first use.
Holding the Prime button prevents the auger from pausing, so the pellets arrive more quickly. (Holding the
Prime button does not cause the auger to turn faster).
Even with priming, once the pellets reach the fire pot, your grill will most likely need to be turned off and then back on again, to restart the igniter for the first five minutes.
