NOTE:

 Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, toxic gas. Because it is impossible to see, taste, or smell, it can be 

deadly before its presence is known. At lower levels of exposure, carbon monoxide causes mild effects that are often 
mistaken for the flu. It burns with a violet flame.  
 

CAUTION:

 Make sure the smoker is cool before storing in a well­ventilated area away from children.  

 

CAUTION:

 Children should not be left unattended near the area where the smoker is being used. Never allow children to 

sit, stand, climb, or crawl into the smoker at any time. 
 

CAUTION:

 Use protective gear when opening the smoker and handling food and pans to avoid burns.
