Do I need to preseason my grill?
Yes, it is very important to preseason your grill before cooking. Pre-seasoning helps to burn off any chemicals and oils left over from the manufacturing process.
1300˚FSteps to pre-season your grill:
1. Fill the hopper with charcoal approximately ¼ - ½ full.
2. Start your grill following the START-UP instructions and set the temperature to 250°F (121°C) for 60 minutes.
3. Next, set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, shut down the grill following the SHUTDOWN instructions.
5. Allow grill to cool COMPLETELY.
6. After the grill has cooled, use a napkin or cloth to rub a light coat of cooking oil on smoke and sear grates, warming/smoking racks, charcoal grate and the inside of the grill lid and body.
7. Then, repeat steps 3-6 at a temperature of 350°F (176°C).
*Frequent seasoning helps to prevent rusting. If rusting occurs clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above.
Can I line my racks/grates with foil?
Can I control the air flow with the slides?
Why is my unit smoking so much? Too much smoke?
Can I leave the hopper lid open while cooking?
How do I cook with wood chunks?
For On-Demand smoke, add 1-2 chunks (no larger than your fist) directly to the ash bin. This will last approximately 2-3 hours.
For Controlled smoke, add four (4) pounds of charcoal and one (1) wood chunk, creating layers of charcoal and wood chunks.
Can I smoke with Wood Chips?
Can I cook/smoke with logs?
Will the grill lose heat when the lid is open?
How do I turn off my grill when I'm done cooking?
*Failure to insert slides will cause remaining charcoal to burn and could cause damage to grill.
*Do not store or cover until the grill has completely cooled.
How do I store my grill when it is not being used?
I'm burning through charcoal faster than advertised, why?

Can I use natural gas instead of propane for my gas smoker?
Can I use an extension cord with my electric smoker?
If an outdoor extension cord is needed, it must be marked with suffix letters “W-A” and with a tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.” Please ensure cords have grounding terminals in working condition. Cord should exceed 16AWG diameter and be no longer than 25 feet in length. NOTE: Cord diameter is measured in AWG (American Wire Gauge) the smaller the number, the larger the diameter.
How do I pre-season my electric smoker before using it for the first time?
Curing your smoker will rid the unit of oil produced in the manufacturing process. First, make sure the water pan is in place without water in it. Set smoker temperature to 275°F and allow the unit to run for three hours. During the last 45 minutes, add ½ cup of wood chips in the wood chip loader to complete the pre-seasoning process. Power off the smoker and allow it to cool completely. (Note: Never add more than ½ cup of wood chips at a time. Additional chips should not be added until any previously added wood chips have stopped generating smoke.)

Pellet Smoker Tips - See this reference from your manual below:
Pellet Smoker is showing ERR0: Body Temperature Probe not seen by controller (check connections of temperature probe. If still an error replace temperature sensor.)
Pellet Smoker is showing ERR1: Meat Probe Error. Meat probe 1 is not installed, or the meat probe is defective.
Pellet Smoker is showing ERR2: Meat Probe Error. Meat probe 2 is not installed, or the meat probe is defective.
Pellet Smoker is showing ERR3: Err3 is when 450°F temp was reached inside the Pellet smoker. This can happen if the crucible has too many pellets in it from the prime process. Once the controller is turned off (not unplugged) the smoker should burn off the pellets in the crucible. The smoker can then be restarted without the prime, which should help with preventing this error.

Do I need to preseason my fryer? How can I preseason my Outdoor Air Fryer?
Yes, it is highly recommended that you pre-season your fryer. This is to help burn off the oils from the manufacturing process.
Step 1- After assembling, remove the cooking baskets and poultry stand from the fryer. Leave the heat deflector installed in the fryer.
Step 2- Plug in the fryer. Power it on. Set your Air Fryer to “Air Fry” at 200F. Let it run for 30 minutes.
Step 3- After 30 minutes, change the temperature to 300F. Let it run for another 30 minutes at this temperature.
Step 4- Change the temperature to “preset.” Let it run for 30 minutes on Air Fry, Preset.
Step 5- Your pre-seasoning is complete. Power off by pressing the power button. Do not unplug the air fryer, as the fan will continue to run for 5 minutes to cool the fryer down. Once the fan has automatically shut off, you may unplug the air fryer.
How do I steam food using the Butterball Electric Fryer?
Video: How to Steam and Boil with John McLemore
Add water to Max Fill line. Water will boil at 212°F (100°C) but to steam set temperature to 375°F (191°C). This ensures the unit will not cycle off and water will continue to boil and create steam. Never allow water to completely evaporate as this can cause the element to overheat and damage the unit.

What should I clean my cooking grids with?
Porcelain coated cooking grids can be cleaned with a brass brush. Stainless steel cooking grids should be cleaned with soap and water and a soft cloth.
Do I need charcoal in my firebox?
We suggest a wood fire with a nest of charcoal on top with woodchips set in the middle.
My unit keeps producing black soot that's getting on my food. Why? And how can I fix it?
If you are experiencing this issue you may notice that you have a large yellow flame from your burner. If you see this your burner may not be getting enough air. Your flame should be 80% blue and 20% yellow. To adjust the air flow, turn the small metal cap located at the end of your burner tube that is located directly behind your control panel.
The flame goes out a few minutes after lighting my unit, or sometimes I am unable to adjust the flame from high to low.
Our regulators have a pressure safety mechanism built into them and when the unit experiences this issue it usually means the safety mechanism has been triggered and produces low flow. To reset your safety mechanism, turn the unit OFF and detach your tank from your unit. Allow it to sit detached for 5 full minutes. After 5 minutes reattach your unit to the tank but do not turn the valve on your tank on full. Only turn it a quarter to halfway on and then light your smoker. After your unit is lit you may increase the gas on your tank to full ON.
What are your covers made of?
Our grill covers are made from black canvas with a PVC lining. Smoker covers are made of black vinyl and pressed cotton. Covers are not warranted due to exposure to various weather conditions. We recommend using a cover to protect your product from dust and debris.
Can your products be converted to natural gas? Do you sell a conversion kit?
Our units cannot be converted to natural gas. Our units are tested and designed to operate on LP gas and our company does not do any testing with natural gas. We do not sell a natural gas conversion kit nor do we recommend the use of natural gas with our products.
What is the best way to store my smoker or grill?
Units should be stored in a covered area where they are not subjected to the outdoor elements.
How do I get the wood chips to produce smoke when using my electric smoker?
We recommend that you preheat your smoker on HIGH with your wood chops placed close to or directly above the heating element with no water or food in the smoker. Once wood chips begin to smoke adjust the temperature to the desired cooking setting, then add food and water.
How should I season my smoker?
Pre-seasoning your smoker will rid the unit of oil produced in the manufacturing process. First, make sure the water pan is in place without water in it. Set smoker temperature to 275°F and allow the unit to run for three hours. During the last 45 minutes, add 1/2 cup of wood chips in the wood chip loader to complete the pre-seasoning process. Power off the smoker and allow it to cool completely.
What wood flavors should I use when smoking food?
This depends on personal preference and may require trying a few different flavors to determine what you like best. Three popular choices are Hickory, Mesquite and Apple.
Can I use an extension cord and, if so, how long?
Yes, extension cords can be used so long as they are no more than 10 feet long, are between 12 and 16 gauge, and are graded for outdoor appliance usage.
My smoker is running too hot. How can I reduce the temperature to below 250 degrees?
Our smokers are designed to operate between 200-350°F. If you are in this range your smoker is functioning as it should. These temperatures will vary for each smoking session based on the ambient temperature outside and the amount of food you are smoking.
I am not getting smoke, what do I do?
- Avoid use of an extension cord. If an extension cord is a must make certain it is graded for outdoor appliance usage, not just outdoor usage. If used, extension cords must be 3 prong, 12 to 16 gauge, and no longer than 10 feet.
- Chips can go stale. Stale chips will scorch but will not ash. Chips can be washed in soapy water and dried or replaced. Brand new chips can be stale.
- Open air flow will assist the wood to ignite.
- Use 1 cup of water or less. More than that can over-saturate your chips, raising their ignition temperature.
My electric smoker is not heating.
1. Power on the unit. Make certain the ambient temperature reading is within 10 degrees of the actual outdoor temperature.
2. Model D4015: Press the “Hot Smoke” button.
3. Press temperature. Adjust the temperature by pressing the up arrow over and over. Holding it down can cause a disconnect. Once the desired temperature is reached press temperature again to lock it in.
4. Press the time button. Adjust the hours you require. Press time again. Adjust the minutes required. Adding minutes is always suggested so that step is not missed. Press time again to lock it all in.
5. Model D4015: Press the “Hot Smoke” button again. The heating light should illuminate.
6. If this does not do the trick further troubleshooting is needed. Please contact us.
Why is my Bluetooth app not working?
The Bluetooth feature has been discontinued and usage of the app may cause disconnect between the unit and your phone. For best results, delete the application and use the control panel on the main unit.
I'm having trouble getting my sear burner to light. Any tips?
Turn your gas on and wait 20 seconds, allowing the gas to build up before striking the ignition button.
Why is my stainless steel tabletop grill so hot?
High temperatures are normal. The temperature range is 500-755°F.
Some units are specifically manufactured to be used with 1 lb propane bottles. Attaching an aftermarket hose to use a full-size tank will cause the unit to not attain proper gas pressure. Always ensure you are only using the 1 lb propane bottles for those units.
How do I install the "L" shaped tube on the hose?
Check the L shaped bar. It should be secured by a 1 inch brass fitting to the top of the sear burner valve.
In the event this is not the case:
1. Remove the sear burner valve as described in your manual
2. Remove the brass fitting from atop the valve
3. Lay the black L shaped tube across the valve, aligning the hole on the top of the valve and in the L tube
4. Reattach the brass fitting over the tube, tightening in place
5. Perform a leak test as described in your manual. If no bubbling is present reinstall valve on unit. Otherwise contact customer service.
Can I seal my grill?
No, we do not recommend any aftermarket modifications. Modifications of any kind made to our grills will automatically void the warranty.
