Page 7: Section 2: Definitions
Page 3 2. Definitions Auger Motor: An external component located in the hopper assembly that receives power and instruction from the Pellet Pro® Patriot. This device augers fuel (wood or charcoal pellets) into the burn pot to be ignited by the hot rod. Burn Pot: A reservoir to catch pellets as they auger into the body of a pellet grill, this is where fuel combustion occurs via the hotrod. - Page 8 Page 4 Quick Mid: A mode of operation by which the fan motor and auger motor both operate via the PID algorithm. Quick Mid is a shortcut to set the control temperature to 270F. Resistance Temperature Device (RTD): An external component located in the body of a pellet grill that measures resistance –...

Page 9: Section 3: Summary Of Operation
Page 5 3. Summary of Operation During operation, the Pellet Pro® Patriot will utilize a PID control algorithm or a timed cycle to maintain a specified temperature set point within five to ten degrees. 3.1 Start-up The Pellet Pro® Patriot provides a dedicated, timed, start-up cycle that allows the user to set their desired temperature immediately (see caution). -
Page 10: Section 3.4: Shutdown
Page 6 Timed control: The Pellet Pro® Patriot timed cycle control will only be utilized while the controller is set in Low (Hold) mode, or, start-up modes. Timed control provides consistent low temperature holding capability as well as intermittent, thin, smoke. 3.4 Shutdown The shutdown cycle occurs over a 15-minute period where the fan motor will operate at 100 percent capacity and no additional external components will receive instructions. -
Page 11: Section 4: Familirization Of Components
Page 7 4. Familiarization of Components The Pellet Pro® Patriot, at minimum, will provide electrical power and instruction to four external components, they are as follows: fan motor, auger motor, hot rod, and RTD Probe. Additionally, the Pellet Pro® Patriot can accommodate two meat probes and a Wi-Fi module for mobile connectivity. -

Page 23: Section 10: Troubleshooting And Faqs
As with all other pellet grills, the amount of visible smoke is light (if you desire a larger amount of smoke, we recommend using the Smoke Daddy Cold Smoke Generator, or, the Heavy D Stick Burner). These devices produce smoke and can be used with wood fuels of your choice. -
Page 24: Section 11: Disclaimer
Some brands may not be compatible with the Pellet Pro® Patriot as it is designed to be used with a 2-rpm 0.4-amp auger motor and 4.8-amp fan motor. Smoke Daddy Inc. is not responsible for any misuse of the Pellet Pro® Patriot that may cause damage to the customers’ grill or any other property. - Page 25 Page 21 Experiencing Burn-back? If you are experiencing burn-back, check the auger motor and fan motor. The Pellet Pro® Patriot is designed to be used with a 2rpm .52amp auger motor and 3200rpm .48amp fan motor. Some grill brands contain lower amperage motors which may cause this burn-back to occur.
