Setup and Installation

Before installing your new Flame Broiler Kit, ensure your grill is completely cool and disconnected from its power source. It is recommended to wear protective gloves during installation.

  1. Remove Existing Components: Carefully remove the grill grates, grease tray, and the existing flame broiler assembly from your Pit Boss grill. Note the orientation of the existing components for reference.
  2. Clean Grill Interior: Thoroughly clean any ash, grease, or debris from the grill's interior, especially the area where the flame broiler sits.
  3. Install Broiler Bottom: Place the new flame broiler bottom into the designated area within the grill. Ensure it sits flat and is properly aligned with any support brackets or grooves.
  4. Install Slide Cover: Position the flame broiler slide cover onto the broiler bottom. The upgraded two-tabs design should align with the slots on the broiler bottom, allowing the cover to slide smoothly.
  5. Test Sliding Mechanism: Gently slide the cover back and forth to ensure it moves freely and covers the desired area.
  6. Reassemble Grill: Once the flame broiler kit is securely in place, reinstall the grease tray and grill grates.

Operation

The innovative sliding design of the Flame Broiler Kit provides versatile cooking options:

  • Indirect Cooking/Smoking: For smoking or indirect cooking, ensure the slide cover is fully closed. This directs heat and smoke evenly around the cooking chamber, preventing direct flame exposure to your food.
  • Direct Flame Searing: To achieve a direct flame for searing, slide the cover open to expose the flame pot. This allows for high-temperature searing, creating a delicious crust on meats. Adjust the opening size to control the intensity of the direct flame.
  • Flare-Up Control: The sliding mechanism can be adjusted to manage flare-ups. Partially closing the slide can reduce direct flame exposure and minimize excessive flare-ups, while still allowing for some direct heat.

Always monitor your grill's temperature and the food's doneness when adjusting the flame broiler. Refer to your Pit Boss grill's main user manual for specific temperature settings and cooking guidelines.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your SafBbcue Flame Broiler Kit and ensure optimal performance:

  • Daily Cleaning: After each use, allow the grill to cool completely. Scrape off any food residue or ash from the flame broiler bottom and slide cover using a grill brush or scraper.
  • Deep Cleaning: Periodically, remove the flame broiler kit from the grill for a more thorough cleaning. Wash with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reinstallation to prevent rust.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the broiler kit for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive corrosion. Replace components if they are significantly damaged to maintain safe and efficient operation.
  • Storage: If storing the grill for an extended period, ensure the flame broiler kit is clean and dry. Consider applying a thin layer of cooking oil to the surfaces to provide additional protection against moisture.
