Introduction
e entire family of United States Stove Company would like to thank you for purchasing your new pellet burning grill. At U.S. Stove,
we build all of our products with a hands-on approach to detail and quality. Our old world team of Crasmen take great pride in their
superior workmanship to ensure you have years of trouble free use out of your pellet grill.
Use only wood pellet fuel specied by the manufacturer. It is important to use only pellet fuel that is dry and free from dirt or other
impurities. e pellet fuel industry has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend that pellet fuel used in all
U.S. Stove pellet burning grills meet or exceed the following specications:
Use ONLY pelletized fuel formulated for cooking.
Do Not Use Pellet Fuel Labeled as Having Additives
.
Fines (ne particles): Maximum through a 1/8” screen
Bulk Density: Minimum 40 lbs per cubic foot
Size: Maximum 3/8” Diameter by 1-1/2” length
Ash Content: 1% Maximum (Premium grade)
3% Maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content: 8% Maximum
Heat Content: Minimum 8,200 btu’s per hour
It is important to note that the ash content of the fuel and frequency of operation will determine the frequency of which you will be
required to clean your pellet grill. A high ash fuel may result in daily cleaning, while a low ash content fuel may result in less frequent
cleaning.
Occasionally, impurities in the fuel will cause a hard mass build up in the burn pot of your Pellet Grill. Impurities, such as silica, can
virtually form little glass balls when subjected to the high heat generated in the burn pot. When allowed to collect, a hard base build up
may block air ow through the burn pot, which will signicantly aect the performance and eciency of your Pellet Grill. It is a good
idea to check the burn pot for any hard mass buildup or other blockage on a daily basis, and if necessary, let the burn pot cool and then
clean the burn pot.
U.S. Stove Company realizes that it cannot control the quality of pellet fuel you choose to use in your Pellet Grill;
U.S. Stove assumes no responsibility for that choice.
CAUTION: BE SURE TO STORE PELLET FUEL A MINIMUM OF 3 FEET (914.5MM) AWAY FROM THE PELLET GRILL.
RADIANT HEAT CAN IGNITE THE FUEL.
Please note that the rating label is located on the inside of the service panel.

Contact your local building ocials to obtain a permit and
information on any additional installation restrictions or
inspection requirements in your area.
Do not throw this manual away. is manual has important
operating and maintenance instructions that you will need
at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this
manual.
is appliance is designed for the use of pelletized fuel
that meet or exceed the standard set by the Pellet Fuel
Institute(PFI). e use of other fuels will void warranty.
Use only pelletized fuel formulated for cooking.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a re in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away
from the appliance when in use.
Do not unplug the grill if you suspect a malfunction. Turn
the ON/OFF SWITCH to “OFF” and contact your dealer.
Your grill requires periodic maintenance and cleaning (see
“MAINTENANCE”). Failure to maintain your grill may
lead to improper and/or unsafe operation.

instructions for doing so are given in this manual. All other
work should be done by a trained technician.
Allow the grill to cool before performing any maintenance
or cleaning.
Disposal of ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-tting lid. e closed container
of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible oor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending nal disposal. When the ashes are disposed by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should
be retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
Do not touch the hot surfaces of the grill. Educate all
children on the dangers of a high-temperature grill. Young
children should be supervised when they are in the vicinity
as the grill.
e hopper and grill top will be hot during operation;
therefore, you should always use some type of hand
protection when refueling your grill.
A power surge protector is required. is unit must be plugged
into a 110 - 120V, 60 Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use
an adapter plug or sever the grounding plug. Do not route the
electrical cord underneath, in front of, or over the grill. Do not
route the cord in foot trac areas or pinch the cord under any
object.
e grill will not operate during a power outage. If a power outage
does occur, check for unsafe burn conditions that might have
occurred.
Never block free airow through the open vents of the unit.
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
e moving parts of this grill are propelled by high torque electric
motors. Keep all body parts away from the auger while the grill is
plugged into an electrical outlet. ese moving parts may begin
to move at any time while the grill is plugged in.
Do not place clothing or other ammable items on or near this
grill.
is appliance is not intended for commercial use.
Warning: Operate your pellet grill only on a noncombustible oor
or provide oor protection adequate to provide ember protection
around grill.
Creosote-Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets
are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. e creosote
vapors condense in a relatively cool oven ue and exhaust hood
of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the ue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot re.
When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed
to reduce risk of re.
Do not use accessories not specied for use with this appliance.
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless
gas from poisoning you, your family or others.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache,
dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.
Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low
blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or u-like symptoms
while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or
ue, is oen detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the eects of carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during
pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

Standard Use Operating Instructions
Always make certain that the grill is setting level or is slightly tilted towards the drip bucket.
Standard Startup Sequence:
1. Fill the hopper with pellets. Be sure to close and latch the hopper lid. Burn only pellets that are specically manufactured for use in
pellet grills and cookers. Never leave pellets in the hopper. Only use the amount of pellets needed to cook for any given time.
2. Open the grill lid and press the “Power” button. e “Cook” or “Smoke” mode lights will begin to ash indicating that the grill is in
its startup sequence in the respective mode. e grill will automatically light 5 to 8 minutes aer pressing the “Power” button.
NOTE: e startup mode will last approximately 15 minutes. It is normal for the grill to smoke excessively during startup.
3. Set the control board to the desired cooking temperature using the “Cook Temp” buttons on the control board. Temperature settings
are in 5°F increments.
4. Once the grill ignites, you will hear a owing sound slightly louder than the blower motors of the grill. You should also notice a
signicant reduction in the amount of smoke being produced. Close the grill lid once ignition has occurred.
NOTE: Allow the grill lid to remain closed during the pre-heat and as much as possible during cook time. Feed rates
during run mode are determined by temperature readings, so each time the lid is opened, the temperature goes down, and
thus, the auger feeds more. is can lead to potential overcooking of food.
5. You can easily check the actual temperature compared to the set-point temperature by using the “Display” button on the control
board. is allows you to determine when the grill has preheated to your desired cooking temperature.
NOTE: During the startup, the grill temperature can exceed the set-point temperature. So, it is recommended that you
leave the display in “Actual” to monitor the temperature readings and avoid overcooking or burning. You can easily tell
if the stove is still in startup by the Cook or Smoke light blinking (depending on which mode you have the grill set).
6. When startup time (15 minutes) has been met and the grill has reached its set-point temperature, you are now ready to add food.
NOTE: As previously mentioned, keep lid closed as much as possible to maintain constant cooking temperature.
Temperature may uctuate slightly.
Standard Shutdown Sequence:
1. When you are ready to turn the grill o, press the “Power” button.
2. e display will go blank and the grill will enter a shutdown mode where the blower will continue to run until it has reached a safe
temperature.
NOTE: e “Cook” light will remain solid and the “Smoke” light will ash during this sequence. Shutdown sequence
can take up to 1 hr depending on the cook temperature and the outside temperature.
DO NOT TURN THE GRILL OFF BY UNPLUGGING IT.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Operating Tips
• When the grill is plugged in, the control board will ash through a sequence of letters and numbers before going to a blank display screen.
• When you turn the grill “ON” the Mode in which the grill is in ashes for 15 minutes, until startup sequence is nished.
• Grill operating temperatures are 180° F to 500° F.
• When grill is rst turned “ON”, the control board will go to 350°, on rst ignition. If grill has been used, the control board will go to the last setting used.
• Smoke mode is from 180° to 295°. e combustion blower does pulsate during “Smoke Mode” but only aer startup mode is reached (the blower
does not pulsate for rst 15 min of operation).
• Combustion blower is on constant during “Cook” Mode and does not vary in speed.
• If you turn the grill o during “Startup” Mode, everything shuts o without a shutdown sequence.
• If the ame plate is installed improperly, a burn back may occur due to the airow restrictions at the burnpot.
• e Searing Station control is operable from the toggle switch only. Only turn on the searing station for the needed time of use. Make sure to turn the
searing station o when not in use.
e searing station will function even if the grill is not in operation. Always unplug the grill when not in use.
• It is not recommend using the Searing Station during your general cooking needs, as it can interfere with the temperature sensor. Only use the
searing station to quickly sear your food and then turn it o. e searing station takes approximately 5 minutes to reach a searing temperature
during use in the grill “Cook” settings.
• If you are in “Cook” mode and change to “Smoke” mode, the temperature will automatically go to 295°.
• If you are in “Smoke” mode and change to “Cook” mode, the temperature will automatically go to 300°.
• Temperature control doesn’t begin to read and control feed rate for 15 minutes, due to the 15 minute start up sequence.
• Make sure to unplug your grill only aer it has gone through the shutdown sequence, cooled o, and is not in use.
• DO NOT unplug your grill during use or to shorten the shutdown sequence.
Note: ese are suggested approximations only and intended as guidelines only. For best results please follow appropriate recipe.
