FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! Even quality electronics can fail CAUSING
THE BLOWER TO RUN CONSTANTLY AND CAUSING EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES! Power
Draft Fans can get the temperature of your pit higher than through natural draft, so use extra caution in
opening your pit and determining its placement. Always inspect your probe wires for damage. Damaged
probe wires can cause the blower to run constantly causing your pit to become excessively hot.

FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD!! FLAMES, SPARKS AND LIT
EMBERS CAN EXIT ANY OPENING ON YOUR PIT CAUSING FIRES - Keep your pit located a safe
distance from anything flammable like buildings, walls, solvents, cars, fuel, wood piles, furniture, etc. and
always use caution when opening the pit. Be aware that an ember that has fallen or is ejected from the
charcoal cooker can be blown by a light wind into a garage or other structure, debris field, woods, or grass
field and cause a fire to start. Always have a fire extinguisher and water supply close by. If the cooker is
to be used on a wooden or combustible surface such as a wooden deck, always place the cooker on a non-
flammable pad intended for this purpose.

:
Pit fires can occur when liquids are spilled or when cooking at temperatures that
cause surfaces inside the cooker to reach the ignition temperature of fats. Never pour or toss water directly
into a fat fire. Reduce the temperature by cooling the fire in the firebox with a water spray. Close the
cooking chamber door and the firebox while it is steaming to smother the fire. This procedure may need to
be repeated several times before the pit fire is under control.
N O T E :
Pit fires can be largely avoided if the cooker is kept clean and free from fat
buildup during or between cooks. Changing drip trays during a cook cycle will help keep
flammable fats in the cooker to a minimum. Cooking temperatures should be kept low
enough to avoid ignition. You are dealing with an open fire when you are cooking on
charcoal and wood.

:
There are hot surfaces on all parts of the cooker before during and after cooking.
Always wear protective clothing when tending the cooker or attempting to extinguish a fire or dumping a
firebox in the proper ash receptacle at the end of a cook. Always be ready to call your local Fire Company
in the case of an emergency before the
