3. Using Meat Probes

4. Cast-Iron Cooking Grids

The heavy-duty cast-iron cooking grids retain heat effectively for great cooking results. These professional grids are reversible:

• One side is pointed to give you perfect grill marks.
• The other side is grooved to capture juices for continuous basting while you cook.

5. Premium Rotisserie Kit

Unlike most pellet grills, the Broil King Pellet Grill comes with a full premium rotisserie kit right out of the box. This allows you to cook succulent rotisserie chickens or other BBQ classics, self-basting them in their own juices for tender, flavorful results.

Maintenance

1. Ash Management System

The Ash Management System allows you to easily clear pellet ash from the burn pot. Simply use the provided tool to slide open the ash clean-out chute and empty the ash into the hidden grease tray and ash collector, which are easily removed for cleaning.

2. Heat Plates and Drip Cup

The five extra-thick, easy-to-clean heat plates are designed to provide even heat distribution and channel drippings towards the drip cup. Regularly remove and clean the drip cup to prevent grease buildup.

3. Stainless Steel Burn Pot

The ultra-thick stainless steel burn pot is built to withstand high temperatures. Periodically inspect and clean the burn pot to ensure optimal performance and prevent ash accumulation that could impede pellet flow.

4. Pellet Release Hatch

At the base of the hopper, you'll find a pellet release hatch. Use it to change the pellet flavor in your grill or remove all pellets before long periods of storage to prevent moisture absorption and pellet degradation.
