Hi, welcome back to Crazy Dave's Kitchen. Now in this episode I'm going to show you two things. How to properly start up your grill and two, a really big, huge one that's all over the form is what is the pea setting. How do I modify it and what does it do? Now I'm going to post later on a link to a couple of different websites or maybe the one that I like that I actually explained the pea settings in what we call a language term so that everybody can understand what it does. And I'm actually going to read a little bit from it. Talk about the pea settings. So at the default pea setting I believe it's a three. Now what that means is 15 seconds on and 75 seconds off. Okay, what does that mean? What's on? What's off? It says on that is the actual auger that's going to be turning and feeding the pellets into the hot pot. So when it says 15 seconds on that means for 15 seconds it's rotating and feeding the pellets into the hot pot. 75 seconds off basically it's chilling out and waiting for the pellets to kind of start smoking. Now depending on where you are you may have to adjust your pea settings either up or down. Now I always tell people don't ever do a pea setting zero because that basically means that's auger never turns off. It just keeps going over and over and over again and I don't want that. It usually causes a lot of burnout because it just keeps constantly feeding the pellets. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and turn this thing on but I want to show you something of where that pea setting module is. And right over here there is a little tiny pinhole. Now most of the time it had a little sticker that said do not remove. Well go ahead and remove that. Now I also caution people that you don't want to always use a metal object. Reason why there's been stories of people putting screwdrivers or paper clips or whatever into the machine and it shorts out and now you have a bad controller. The other thing is that Trigger has been really good about replacing the controllers when that happens. So what do I use? I like to use a toothpick. Okay. So we're going to turn the machine on. Right here in the middle of the house which here and also by hitting it on smoke. And you notice right now it's saying 69 degrees no big deal. Now to get to the pea settings which is right here put this thing in and you'll notice right now mine says P2. I can put P3 all the way through up until 9 or 0. So I like to use mine right now. I'm in California at a P2 setting. So when I first set the grill I always started a P2 and I will adjust the grill accordingly once it goes through the standard fire up cycle. Now the startup cycle in the Trigger manual tells you between 10 to 15 minutes. It's going to smoke and you must leave the lid open. A lot of people have been leaving the lid closed and they come back and they find out they got the air matching. Well why? Because you're not getting the air into the machine and you're not doing the proper startup. Okay. So we're just going to let this thing chill off a little bit. 10 to 15 minutes and it should automatically do it. Now you can hear the fan blowing and if you ever play with the machine you'll hear it's almost like a mini explosion sound when that hot pot kicks in and it just starts rumbling and just going and that's like the coolest sound to have on your machine. So right now this is basically a proper startup clean machine. Now let's into the hopper it's full. We cleaned it. We adjusted the piece adding it with pre on a two. Again you have to adjust accordingly to that on your smoke settings you want to range between 150 to about 180 give it take. Okay. And then you adjust it from there and if you notice that your temperature is dropping too low you don't drop your piece adding. If you think your temperatures are too high then you know raise the piece adding. Okay. And you'll notice that depending on the temperature just be cut today I'm going to pee too. Tomorrow I may not be on a pee too. I may be on a pee three or even a pee four or even a pee five. I just depend. In the summertime I can run this thing all the pee five sometimes. It just depends on what the weather is where you are, how hot, how cold it is and it also depends on the pellets that you use. Alright. This is again the proper setup. You'll see that it's starting to smoke a little bit. It's going to keep doing that. Leave this thing open usually. About this time is when I put much walk away from the grill and I go into the kitchen and I get the food ready to actually come back on the grill. So this is a proper startup. It also shows you how to adjust the pee settings using a simple toothpick.
