Pre-Assembly Instructions For Your Safety
Spiders and small insects can spin webs and
nest in the smoker Burner Tubes during transit
and warehousing which can lead to a gas flow
obstruction resulting in a fire in and around the
Burner Tubes. This type of "FLASHBACK FIRE"
can cause serious smoker damage and create
an unsafe operating condition for the user.
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK
FIRE you must clean the Burner Tubes
as follows before initial use.
Also do this at
least once a month in summer and fall or
whenever spiders are active in your area, and if
your smoker has not been used for an extended
period of time.
WARNING

Failure to comply with these instructions could
