GRILL MAINTENANCE, CONTINUED
Hopper and Auger
Although food‐grade wood pellets are typically cleaner than heating pellets, it is important to
monitor the sawdust in the hopper and auger system. If you begin to notice a large
accumulation of sawdust in the hopper and auger chamber, it is recommended that you
remove the pellets and use a utility shop vac to vacuum out all of the loose sawdust. Keeping
the hopper and auger free and clean of sawdust will ensure the grill is feeding pellets as
accurately as possible. It is also recommend that you cover the grill when not in use, to prevent
any water from reaching the pellets in the hopper. If the pellets get wet, they will expand and
could possibly jam the auger.

Exhaust hood/chamber
The exhaust hood and chamber area is where the exhaust exits the grill; it is located on the
right side. It should be inspected at least twice a year to determine if creosote buildup has
occurred. If there is a heavy buildup, it should be removed and cleaned.

Ash pan
The ash pan is located on the bottom left of the grill. This should be cleaned before every use,
to prevent the buildup of ashes and pellets that could potentially cause unwanted, uncontrolled
fire.

PELLET MAINTENANCE
To help ensure that your grill operates properly and without issue, it is important that you store
pellets in a dry place, such as a basement or a garage (as long as they aren’t near chemicals).
Cooking pellets are about the thickness of a pencil eraser and vary from 1” to 1 ½”. They start
as sawdust that is filtered and compressed, then fed through a machine that cuts them to
specified lengths. Then they are cooled, cleared of extra dust and bagged. No chemicals are
added. Different woods can add extra flavor to your foods.**ONLY PUT THE AMOUNT OF
PELLETS YOU INTEND TO USE FOR COOKING, BECAUSE OVER TIME PELLETS CAN ABSORB THE
MOISTURE IN THE AIR AND SWELL, CAUSING AUGER JAMS OR FAILURE TO IGNITE. USE ONLY
WOOD PELLET FUEL SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. USE ONLY ENGLAND’S STOVE
WORKS, INC. BRAND WOOD PELLETS. (8,500 BTU/LB. <1% ASH CONTENT) DO NOT USE
PELLET FUEL LABELED AS HAVING ADDITIVES.**
