Do not use smoker on or around any surface that 
will burn or melt, such as on wooden decks, dry 
grass, wood rails, vinyl or plastic.

- Never use inside an enclosed area such as screen 

patios, garages, buildings and tents. Keep a 
minimum clearance of 3 metres (10 feet) from all 
sides of the smoker to all overhead construction 
and 1 metre (3 feet) from any walls or rails.

- Never operate this smoker under any overhead 

roof covering, awning or overhang.

- Keep your hands, hair and face away from any 

naked flame. Do not lean over or into the firebox 
or grill when lighting or operating the smoker. This 
smoker has an open flame. Be careful of loose 
clothing and hair that could catch fire during 
operation.

- Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh 

air comes into contact with fire. Take caution 
opening lids.

- Use caution when opening lids. Make sure the 

lid is pushed all the way open and resting on the 
back stop. If not fully open it could fall back to 
closed position and cause an injury. 

- Always wear shoes and protective clothing during 

operation of this smoker.

- Never use this smoker as a heater.
- The smoker is HOT while in use and after use. 

Always wear protective gloves or mitts when 
operating the smoker. Avoid touching hot 
surfaces at all times.

- Keep CHILDREN AND PETS away from the 

smoker at all times. Do not allow anyone to 
conduct activities around the smoker during or 
following its use until the unit has cooled.

- Never move the smoker when it is in use. Allow 

the smoker to cool before moving or storing it.

- Never leave hot coals or ashes in the smoker 

unattended. Always wait for the grill to cool 
before removing hot coals or ashes and dispose 
of them in a non-combustible metal container 
and then dose with water to extinguish fully. Wear 
protective gloves to do this.

Fire Ban.
