If a flame flare-up occurs while grilling, turn burner control knob to
“LOW” and cover grill with dome lid to limit airflow and extinguish
the flare-up. If flare-up does not extinguish, turn propane tank valve

least 5 minutes, remove dome lid and relight cooker.
HEAT SETTINGS:
MEDIUM-HIGH: For preheating & quick searing of meat, especially steaks
cooked rare.
MEDIUM: For grilling most “flat” cuts of meat, after they have been seared,
such as steaks, chops and hamburgers.
LOW: For cooking “fatty” cuts of meat that flame up easily. Thick cuts of
meat usually require slow cooking with a low flame.
5. After each use, always turn propane tank valve OFF first, then turn the burner
control knob OFF. Disconnect the propane tank from smoker.
6. Allow grill to cool completely, then follow instructions in the “After-Use
Safety and Proper Care & Maintenance” sections of this manual.
