WARNING
•
When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid, air vent and
damper to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.
•
Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lids, keep hands,
face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
•
To avoid catching fire, do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely while using smoker.
•
Close lids and all dampers to suffocate flame/charcoal when finished cooking.
•
Never leave coals and ashes in smoker unattended. Before smoker can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be
removed from smoker. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a
noncombustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours
prior to disposing.
•
Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F in cooking chamber. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of the firebox
and cooking chamber. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your smoker. Extinguished coals and ashes
should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
•
With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may
have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
