Mark, the controller box is held on with 4 10 mm bolts. I will get a pic and post it tomorrow.

Wow, looks like they have upgraded a few things since I got mine, and that was just in May! They added the sheathing to the RTD wires and the controller box cover now goes on a lot easier (though mine wasn't really that hard). Mine was just four small sheet metal screws - now it looks like two tongues and two screws. Also looks they have added a bracket to keep that RTD from being knocked out of position.

I probably won't ever get a pellet rig, but if I did I'd buy this one just for these excellent setup instructions and photos.

This is what the wiring and sheathing look like exiting the end of the box.
Now you are going to remove the bottom cover on the control box
Next run the prob wires through the rubber grommet into the control box.
When you attach the control unit to the box I slid all the extra probe wiring into the control box and slid the sheathing insulation in also taking all the excess wiring and sheathing into the control box.
The black sheathing excess you can see inside the control box.

I vacuumed out the inside of the drum and the pellet hopper
And then I installed the vent which comes preassembled and it is adjustable.
Next we had the sensor wiring to run and you need to take your time and be careful with this. Carefully remove the tie wrapm from the wiring.
Run the wires carefully out the hole under the prob being careful not to kink it. Also get the black insulating sheathing as close to the probe as possible.

Second day with rain!! Any other time it would be a drought.
Drat, Darn it!! The cover is not a custom fit but it is excellent quality and will work for a long time is my assessment.
I did get some done today in between appointments.
I removed the red cover, heavy and attached the straps around the drum and two of us hauled it up those stairs to the deck.
The directions said to turn it over upside down to assemble the lags and bottom rack.. For me I did it right side up. I got Towmbo to help me install the legs. I lifted the unit and she slid the legs in the slots.
I installed the bolts just a bit more than finger tight.
I installed the lower rack upside down so there is a lip all the way around and my stuff/junk won't fall off when I move it. I then tightened all the lower bolts that hold the rack on and the went back and tightened the leg retaining bolts and the lower section is done.

I like the pic looking up the stairs. #daunting.
Congrats on the new toy! I remember waiting for my Yoder to come, when I finally heard those airbrakes "PVVVRSSSHHH" I was up & outside in a flash. It was raining then too but I barely noticed.

I figured that. My Daughter is and apartment complex manager for a University and I get to here about it frequently.

Great shot John!! I can't either but it is still raining so I did the correct thing.

That would have been nice, except we were just moving her in and she hadn't made any friends yet.

That's about 20 days of low and slow cooking, so I think he's set for a while.

I remember a thread on storing pellets, I don't remember "outside on the pavement in the rain" being one of the methods discussed
