Louisiana Grills LG CHAMPION Assemblage Et Fonctionnement page 23

The following is a list of the important tips that will contribute to the cooking perfection that you expect when using
your LG Champion pellet grill/smoker.
Note: The temperature readout on the control board may NOT exactly match the dome thermometer.
High Temperatures 204o - 315oC / 400o to 600oF
The HIGH range will give an oven temperature of over 204o - 315oC / 400 to 600oF, depending on the weather. This setting is used
to quickly preheat your grill as well as to finish the cleaning cycles for the cooking grids and the "arched flame broiler. " Could
also be used as a HIGH setting in extreme cold weather conditions or if cooking with the hood open. May also be used with the
arched flame broiler open to create those "dirty or blue" steaks as well as flame kissed vegetables, garlic toast or even s'mores.
Medium Temperatures 135o - 177oC / 275o to 350oF
This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing off that slow smoked creation. This range will greatly reduce the chances of
a flare up, with the arched flame broiler in the CLOSED position. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where
you want control.
Low Temperatures 82o - 122oC / 180o to 250oF
The LOW setting will give an approximate oven temperature of 82o - 122oC / 180o to 250oF. This setting is used to slow roast;
to increase the smoke flavor; to keep foods warm; and many other savory things. Highly recommended for the BIG BIRD at
Thanksgiving, Easter ham, or that huge Christmas feast.
Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill. There are two types
of smoking: HOT SMOKING and COLD SMOKING.
Hot smoking, just another name for barbecuing is generally done at 82o - 122oC / 180o to 250oF. Hot smoking works best when
longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.
Cold smoking is where the food is located so far away from the fire that it smokes without cooking, and at temperatures of 15o
- 32oC / 60o to 90oF.
TIP: The temperatures listed above are all approximate and will be affected by the outside temperature, the amount and direction
of wind present, the length and type of pellet fuel being used and the number of times the lid is opened.
TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to hot smoke (low) temperature range immediately after putting your food on the
grill. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meats, before the pores in the meat close at 49oC / 120oF.
After Cooking - "Cleaning Up"
One of the greatest benefits of your LG Champion grill is the minimal clean up required. When you are finished cooking and
waiting just a little while to let the flavor set in that prime selection of meat, we recommend the following:
1. Using a long handle grill cleaning brush, brass or soft metal, to remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids, while it
is still warm.
2. Turn the temperature control to HIGH (450+) for 5 minutes. Let the grill heat up, then push the STOP touch pad and you're
done. The control will stop feeding pellets, but the fan will continue to burn them properly, till they burn out, and then the
unit will shut down automatically in 20 minutes or below 54oC / 130oF.
3. A quick wipe up of the powder coat surfaces, using a cloth, warm water and mild soap, will keep the unit looking like new.
4. Let the smoker cool and put your LG Champion smoker to bed with the optional grill cover.
