READ ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.
Prior to first use, cure your smoker to minimize damage to the exterior
finish as well as rid the smoker of paint odor that can impart unnatural
flavors to the first meal prepared. Cure your smoker periodically
throughout the year to protect against rust.
1. Remove water pan from smoker. Lightly coat all interior surfaces of
smoker and cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do
not coat base pan, burner, lava rocks or lava rock grate.
2. Follow instructions carefully in this owner’s manual for proper lighting
procedures.
NOTE:
Always use propane tank valve to turn the smoker “ON” and
“OFF”. Use burner control knob to adjust flame only.
3. Close dome lid and allow temperature to reach the “Ideal” range on the
heat indicator. Maintain this temperature for two hours, then allow
smoker to cool completely. It is important that the exterior of the
smoker is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT:
To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must
be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A smoker cover may be ordered directly from
Brinkmann by calling 1-800-468-5252.
