How to calibrate your Blaz'n

Hi folks,

One of the first things I had to do when I bought my Blaz'n Grand Slam was to calibrate it. I figure I'd share how to do this. These instructions should work with any Roanoke Controls controller.

Step 0.
 Call Blaz'n at 1-855-634-9233 and have them walk you through it.

What's that? You insist on doing it by yourself? Fine. I'll walk you through it. BUT, you're on your own. If these instructions don't work for you or you break something, that's on you. Call Blaz'n have them laugh at you and ask them to bail you out.
Step 1.
Pick your favorite ambient temp (225º for me) and use a trusty thermometer to figure out how off you are. I'm using a Fireboard. Let the pit get to a steady state at the temp you want. In my case, I'm waiting until the grill hasn't moved much for half an hour. Put the thermometer in the center of the grate you use the most. In my case it's the main grate. I haven't noticed much difference with the first pro shelf, if you normally use a higher grate you might want to calibrate there.

Step 2.
Figure out the how far off your grill is. In my example, this is about 208º vs 225º intended.

Step 3.
Let's do some math. The way the calibration works is that the grill allows you to set a gain multiplier to the temperature read by the probe in the grill (let's call this the correction factor). So in the case of this example, we need to figure out what the correction factor needs to be. Remember your high school algebra?

225º = 208º * x
225º/208º = x
1.0817 = x

Multiply by a thousand (1,000) and you get:
1.0817 * 1000 = 1082

1082 is the correction factor. Save that number, you're going to need to plug it into the grill.

The grill accepts a value between 900 and 3,000.

Step 4.
Now we need to program the controller.

* Press and hold the Pellet Prime and Probe Display for 3 seconds. The display will change to C-1
* Use the temp up and down keys to move to C-13
* Change the value by using the Probe Display (increase) and Temp Display (decrease) buttons. In this example, the new setting would be 1082
* Press the On button to save the value and go back to the menu.
* To exit the config menu, press the Pellet Prime button.
Boom, you're done!

Wait!! I screwed something up and I'm freaking out
Changed the wrong setting? Change a value you didn't mean to? Just not happy with what we've done? No problem. You can go back to the factory defaults.

Press and hold the Pellet Prime and Temp Display buttons for 3 seconds. The screen will say bye.

Wow!

I figure I'd help your new site with a quality post. I think every Blaz'n owner should know how to do this.

Good point! I'll update. I put it in the center of the main grate. That's where the brisket goes.
