(Micro fiber cloths such as Ecloth perform very well). • Allow the surfaces to dry before installing the cover. Do not cover a damp smoker. • In extreme environments apply a rust inhibitor which leaves a microscopic protective layer on the smoker.
TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR LYNX SMOKER SMELL OF GAS WHILE COOKING • If you smell gas while the smoker is operating, immediately turn off the burner and shut off the main fuel supply. Replace your router antenna with a Hi-Gain wireless antenna. They boost the signal strength and aim the signal in one direction. • The Sonoma Smoker by Lynx™ will perform better with an N router. • Reduce wireless interferences by using devices that communicate via the 5.0 GHz frequency instead of the more common 2.
