OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling. As a pellet grill uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces.
GRILL TEMPERATURE RANGES • HIGH TEMPERATURE (205-260°C / 401-500°F) • MEDIUM TEMPERATURE (135-180°C / 275-356°F) • LOW TEMPERATURE (80-125°C / 176-257°F) This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the flame broiler (slide plate) for indirect or direct flame cooking.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE Any Country Smokers unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. An important step is allowing the grill and cooking grids to self-clean by running the grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill: 1. HOPPER ASSEMBLY In instances of long periods between use, it is suggested to run all pellets through your hopper and auger, to prevent jams.

COOKING GUIDELINES Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time. Practice makes perfect. TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest after cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Country Smokers owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to become more familiar with your grill: • Keep everything in the kitchen and cooking area clean. Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination of bacteria. Each marinade or basting sauce should have its own utensil.
