16. CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
NOTE: Before plugging your unit into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the SMOKE position. Disconnect when not in use.
•
STANDARD OUTLET
This unit requires 110-120 volt, 60Hz, 250w. It must be a 3-prong grounded
plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off. The control uses a 110-120
volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.
•
GFCI OUTLETS
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. The quality
of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
ON THE ROAD
•
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual
start-up procedure. A Louisiana Grills® unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100
watt inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic
igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
With today's lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, a factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake.
One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as smoking. As a pellet smoker
uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar-based sauces.
SMOKER ENVIRONMENT
1. WHERE TO SET-UP THE SMOKER
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your smoker and the cooking
time needed to perfect your meals. The Louisiana Grills®, because of its double wall construction, should be considered as
a 3 season smoker, depending on where you live. All Louisiana Grills® units should keep a minimum clearance of 457mm
(18 inches) from combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the smoker is operational. This
appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your smoker in an area clear from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. COLD WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that the outdoor cooking season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly
aroma of smoked foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your smoker throughout
the cooler months:
•
If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.
•
Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your
smoker to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your smoker
in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
•
To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log
or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to
help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
