1. Remove all loose inner packages from inside cabinet. Set the cabinet assembly top side down. To
prevent scratching or damage to your smoker, set the cabinet on a padded surface like cardboard or
carpet.
2. Set the damper plate on the side of the cabinet and align it with the corresponding “butterfly” holes.
The metal tab should seat inside the one of these holes and the plastic tab guard should be
positioned towards the top of the smoker.

the “butterfly” hole.
