Lonestar Chef SCS-P710, Manual

Initial Setup Procedure

For your first lighting, follow this Initial Setup Procedure. 

Before starting your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER, inspect the burn area inside the grilling area. It is a 

recommended practice to go through the following procedure at initial start up. 

1. Open the main lid and remove the cooking grate, drip pan and flame deflector. Make sure all 

packing material has been removed. 

2. Open the pellet hopper lid found on the left side of  your grill and check for any foreign ob-

jects. 

3. Plug your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER into the nearest 110 Volt AC GFCI outlet. (Note: If  

your home does not have a GFCI outlet, you should have one installed by an electrician.) 

4. Put no more than 1/2 cup of  pellets directly into the fire pot to provide fuel to burn while 

auger tube self-primes. 

5. Pour pellets into your grill’s pellet hopper. 
6. Wash cooking grate with mild soap and water. 
7. Reinstall the steel flame deflector, drip pan, cooking grate, and close lid. 

Tip: If you want to line your drip pan with foil for ease of cleanup, we recommend you do this 

before your initial burn in. When lining drip pan, keep foil inside drip pan edges and do not    

wrap around as this can restrict airflow. 

8. Turn on your REC TEC TRAILBLAZER by pressing the power button at the left of  the 

panel. Set temperature to 400ºF by turning temperature control knob. 

9. Within a few minutes you will see smoke, and your grill will light. 
10. Once grill achieves 400ºF, allow it to run for 1 hour, this will provide a final cure and remove 

any residue that may have accumulated during manufacturing and shipping. 

After this initial burn, your grill is ready for cooking. 

Temperature Probes

Plug your temperature probes into the grill’s controller probe ports A and B.  
Feed probes through the probe port hole on the left side of grill cooking chamber. 
Insert probes into thickest portion of meat for most accurate reading. 
See page 22 for USDA safety guidelines. 

Unplugging probes and cleaning with damp cloth will prolong the life and accuracy of  your probes. 

Reinstalling rubber protectors over connection ports on controller after each cook will prolong the life 

and quality of  your controller. 

DO NOT FULLY SUBMERGE PROBES IN WATER OR WASH IN DISHWASHER
