PRIME Touch Pad
When this touch pad is pressed and held, the Fuel Feed system will turn and feed more pellets to the burn grate. This can be used to add more fuel just before opening the grill lid, to help with quicker heat recovery. It can also be used to add more fuel while smoking, to increase the smoke intensity.
POWER LED
Will illuminate blue when the Power Switch is on and the Start touch pad has been pushed. It will continue to illuminate until the Power switch has been pushed OFF and the board has completed the automatic 15 minute Shut Down mode.
FEED POTENTIOMETER or Temperature Control
Used to control the frequency the Paddle Wheel feed system feeds pellets to the burn grate, thus effecting the heat and smoke output. The Feed Potentiometer is NOT active when the grill is in the 7 minute Start Up mode, giving you the ability to set it at PREHEAT while ensuring proper ignition.
How the Board Works 101
START UP Mode
Upon turning the Power switch to the “ON” position, setting the Feed Potentiometer to the PREHEAT position and then pressing the Start touch pad, the board will activate the Start Up mode. Start Up will start the combustion / cooling fan, the feed system and the igniter. The Start Up mode will last automatically for 7 minutes and the feed rate is factory set by the control software program.
OPERATING Mode
After the Start Up mode is complete, the Feed Potentiometer is fully functional. The feed system is designed to feed fuel for 3 seconds then stop feeding at preset times managed through the potentiometer. The “Off” times range from 35 seconds for “Smoke” to 3 seconds for “Preheat”. Because the all natural wood pellet fuel is dry and consistent, it is easy to keep a close to constant temperature.
NOTE: Keep in mind that all Louisiana Wood Pellet Grills are designed to operate with the lid closed and that the external temperatures, wind, rain, and humidity will effect cooking times and heat output.
SHUT DOWN Mode
When finished “Savoring the Flavor” simply push the Power Switch to the “OFF” position. The control will begin a 15 minute cool down cycle by stopping the Paddle Wheel feed system from running, while keeping the Combustion / Cooling fan running to cool the grill. If you do find more food to grill or bake, you can turn the Power Switch to the “ON” position within the first 3 minutes and the grill will continue to operate as normal. If you miss the 3 minute window, you must go through the Start Up Mode again.
