How do i start this thing

Have had mine for six weeks so I guess I am an expert now. You need to get the pellets to the heating unit first. Turn on and leave on smoke for five minutes or so. Turn off and leave off for ten minutes or so. Then turn up to temp and you will see ignition in a few minutes. I didn't really season mine, I just started cooking. I would probably set the therm to 275 and let it go for a couple of hours to season.
Don't forget to line the entire bottom with foil, the grease pan and I also put some foil on the baffle above the auger. I also line the grease pan with foil. Will make cleanup much quicker.

Earl,
be sure to read "inital burn temperature(very high)" on this forum before you start the cooker.

Thanks Fred:

I received a call from Cookshack telling me to change some wires but i had already read your post & knew what to look for. I then found the red & orange wires then switched them around.

Thanks for the heads up.

Earl
