The Perfect Draft BBQ Blower is a powered draft system that controls the
temperature of your BBQ pit using state-of-the-art technology, which incorporates
a temperature probe and a variable speed fan for premium airflow control. The
BBQ Blower system is equipped with an automatic control setting or a manual
control setting, enabling you to maximize temperature efficiency and time
management. While in automatic control mode, the built in circuit board is
designed to utilize the temperature probe to send a constant heat signal to the
BBQ Blower fan, regulating a precise flow of air into the firebox to achieve the
desired temperature set point. NOTE: If the temperature in the BBQ Pit continues
to rise the BBQ Blower Fan will not come on, you should CLOSE OFF on your
Stack Damper to lower the temperature into a proper range and let the BBQ
Blower fan will cycle on/off to regulate your pit temperature. If you want to take
control, the manual control settings allow you to monitor your local temperature
gauge and you can adjust the Fan speed manually to regulate the temperature in
your smoker.

The temperature probe is made of braided stainless but avoid exposing
the thermocouple wires to direct flame this can damage the probe. You
can order replacement probes from www.bbqblowers.com. Your BBQ
Blower temperature probe should always be placed so that it is not in a

your BBQ pit close to the existing temperature gauge. Using a 1/8” drill bit,
drill a hole in the desired location on your BBQ pit. NOTE – Simply placing
the temperature probe under the lid of the BBQ pit while is use may cause
damage to the wires resulting in faulty temperature readings and voiding
