SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR SMOKER. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS,
WARNINGS AND SAFEGUARDS BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.
AFTER USE SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
! Use caution when lifting and moving the Smoker to avoid strains or back injury. Two people are recommended to lift or move the
Smoker.
! Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy-duty aluminum foil and putting them in a noncombustible container. Be sure there
are no other combustible materials in or near the container.
! If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the ashes from the Smoker, keeping
them in heavy duty foil, and soak them completely with water before disposing of them in a noncombustible container.
.
CAUTION : All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed only while the Smoker is turned off and cooled.
.
Clean the Water Bowl and Cooking Racks with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may prefer to coat the Water
Bowl and Cooking Racks lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
.
Frequently check and clean the Venturi and Burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to re outside the smoker.
.
Check to be sure the Heat Indicator remains accurate. Simply loosen and remove the mounting nut from the inside. There is a
second nut mounted on the back of the Heat Indicator that can be turned to adjust the Heat Indicator Needle. Set the needle to the
current outdoor ambient temperature and re-mount the Heat Indicator to the Door of the Smoker.
.
To clean the inside and outside of the Smoker Cabinet, simply use a damp cloth. Spray-washing with a water hose is not
recommended. All moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or on top of the Smoker. Once cleaned, you
may prefer to lightly coat the interior of the Smoker Cabinet with cooking oil or cooking spray.
.
If rust is present on the exterior surface of the Smoker, clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with
cooking oil or cooking spray to help minimize recurring rust.
.
When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the HVR, hang the end of the
HVR hose from the side Handle using the supplied S-Hook, as reviewed in ASSEMBLY STEP 12.
.
Inspect the ames at the Burner by looking through the front access hole. A good ame should be blue with a yellow tip up to 1”
in length. If ames are excessively yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may be collecting on the Burner. Try cleaning
the Burner surface and the holes to improve the ames. Bad ames may also be caused by poor HVR-to-Venturi attachment.
Always let the Smoker cool before cleaning or checking the assembly.
.
To protect your Smoker from weather, always keep your Smoker covered while not in use.
