How Your Memphis Advantage Wood Fired, Convection Grill Works: Your Memphis Advantage Wood Fire Convection Grill represents a new way of outdoor cooking. It is a true high quality convection oven that also has grilling and smoking capability. It combines many unique features with time-proven pellet-burning technology. Together they give you controlled, quick, savory and repeatable cooking results. The perfect cooking experience starts with filling your hopper with all-natural, 100% hardwood BBQ pellets.
Read Prior to Lighting! Initial Burn Off Before cooking for the first time, we recommend that you “burn off” the grill to rid it of any foreign matter used in the manufacturing process. Remove the stainless steel cooking grates and wash with a mild soap or detergent. With the grates removed, light and operate the grill at 450F (in cook mode) with the lid down for 20 minutes. After “burn-off”, turn the grill OFF and replace the grates.
Intelligent Temperature Control - Overview Control I/O, ON/OFF Touch Pad This pressure sensitive touch pad is used to turn the grill on and off. Turning the grill “on” activates the automatic start-up mode and illuminates the digital LED readout. Pressing the touch pad again activates the shut down mode of the appliance. The ON/OFF touch pad allows electricity to flow to the electrical components for 20 minutes.
Temp (Temperature) Display Screen Displays temperature readouts, error messages, and power up readout: LED Messages 1. HLnD, GrLL, v 5.59 These three screens will display when the appliance is plugged into a surge-protected outlet. This describes the make and model of the board. (The 5.59 in this example identifies the software revision – your grill may indicate a different version of software.) 2. 350. This is the temperature that the grill is set at.
Using Your Memphis Advantage Wood Fired Convection Grill Prior to starting your cooking center, inspect the burn area inside the grilling area. It's a recommended practice to go through this procedure at initial start up and after every few uses to ensure peak performance. Actual frequency varies depending on usage and fuel type. 1. Open the main lid and remove the stainless steel cooking grates. 2. Remove the integrated stainless steel flavorizer and flame deflector.
Operating Instructions: Memphis Advantage Wood Fired Convection Grill and Computerized Intelligent Temperature Control (ITC). About the ITC: The ITC is very much the same as the control on your kitchen oven. The big difference is the ITC's ability to automatically compensate for different ambient conditions. This means that you can cook outside in nearly any weather.
5. To operate: Once the Convection Grill has started, operate as follows; Pre-Heat : A unique advantage of the ITC is that when you turn it on and select your mode and temperature, the ITC will enter a preheat and temperature learning cycle. At this time your grill will both preheat and compensate for current ambient conditions.
Manual Start Up: In case of igniter failure, you can start your “Convection Grill” manually. 1. Remove the stainless steel grills and integrated flavorizer / flame deflector. 2. Inspect the stainless steel burn pot to ensure that is clean of debris and that the igniter air holes are not obstructed. Also check to ensure proper placement of the burn grate. 3. Place a small handful of pellets in the bottom of the burn grate.
Information About BBQ Cooking Pellets Flavored pellets come in a variety of flavors such as Mesquite, Alder, Apple, Hickory, Maple and Cherry to name the most common. They contain approximately 8,200 BTU’s of heat per pound, have very little ash and a low moisture content. Always use Premium BBQ Pellets in your grill. Premium BBQ pellets have a maximum length of 1.5” and burn more cleanly. Long pellets and excessive sawdust can greatly affect pellet feeding and temperature consistency.
Periodic Grill Maintenance Stainless Steel Working Surfaces ALWAYS clean dirt and dust off all stainless steel surfaces before you begin to cook. The dirt can cook into the metal and discolor it. Dirt can be easily cleaned with hot soapy water and a soft cloth. There are also many commercial products made to clean and protect your stainless steel surfaces. Painted Surfaces Your painted surfaces have a very durable high temp powder coat finish.
Recommended Grilling Accessories Meat Thermometer/Timer (A Must) The outside temperature, wind conditions, pellet fuel variety and the altitude at which you live affect cooking times. The best way to ensure your meat has reached the proper temperature and is ready to eat is to purchase a good quality meat thermometer. We recommend a digital model and particularly like those that feature wireless, remote readouts. Follow thermometer manufacturer’s instruction to use.
Wood skewers adhere to meat better than the metal ones. When using the wood skewers, remember to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning in the heat of the grill. Another way to protect them would be to wrap the exposed ends with aluminum foil. Metal skewers should be those with flat blades or dual prong. The flat skewer is designed to prevent the food from rotating when you turn the skewer.
Food Handling and Safety The following are some basic hints for food safety. The number one rule is: if in doubt about the safety of any food item, err on the side of caution! Make sure your hands are clean before handling food. Be sure you wash your hands thoroughly after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry. Prevent the crosscontamination of bacteria by using separate platters and utensils for raw and cooked food. Bacteria are living organisms that grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods.
