Check all connections for LP Gas Leaks
Never
test for leaks with a flame. Prior to first use,
at the beginning of each season, or every time
your LP Gas tank is changed, you must check for
gas leaks. Follow these three steps:
Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid
detergent and one part water.
Turn the smoker Control Knob to the full OFF
position, then turn the gas ON at source.
Apply the soap solution to all gas connections.
If bubbles appear in the soap solution the
connections are not properly sealed. Check
each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
Smoker Lighting Instructions
Before each use, check all hoses for cracks, nicks, cuts,
burns or abrasions. If a hose is damaged in any way,
do not use your smoker before replacing the hose with
an authorized part from the Parts List. Also make sure
all gas supply connections are securely tightened.
Familiarize yourself with the safety and Use and Care
instructions in this manual. Do not smoke while lighting
smoker or checking gas supply connections.
Be sure the LP Gas tank is filled.
Open both smoker cabinet doors during lighting.
Check that the end of Burner Tube is properly located
over Valve Orifice.

If you have a gas leak that cannot be repaired by
tightening, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect
fuel line from your smoker and call 1-800-761-5456
or your gas supplier for repair assistance.
Never disconnect the gas regulator or any gas fitting
