Use caution when operating the door while in operation. Keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam
or flare ups.
DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating the smoker. Tie back long hair while operating the smoker.
ALWAYS wear fully-covering shoes while operating the smoker.
Allow the smoker and its components to cool completely before conducting any routine cleaning or
maintenance.
NEVER use glassware, plastic or ceramic cookware on or in your smoker.
NEVER operate the smoker without water in the water pan. NEVER allow the water to completely evaporate.
Check the water level at least every 2 hours. A sizzling sound may indicate a low water level or bellowing
smoke may indicate no water in the water pan. Follow instructions in this manual for adding water while
operating. Adding while operating may splash hot water and cause serious injury.
When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient amount prior to operation to avoid having to add wood while
operating. Adding while operating may splash hot water and cause serious injury.
Use of accessories not intended for this smsoker is not recommended and may lead to injury or property
damage.
An LP cylinder not connected for use should not be stored in the vicinity of the smoker or any other
appliances. DO NOT store spare LP cylinders within 10 feet of the smoker. LP cylinders must be stored
outdoors and out of reach of children. DO NOT store LP cylinders in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
While the smoker is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
LP gases are heavier than air, tend to pool and collect in low-lying areas, are easily ignited and are highly
flammable. Proper care and caution should be employed when dealing with any such fuels.
The smoker should be shut off and all supply valves (on piping or fuel cylinders) should be closed in the
event that the odor of unburned gas is detected. DO NOT attempt to use the smoker until any gas leaks
are fixed and/or the source of the unburned gas odor is accounted for.
DO NOT use the smoker if the burner fails to light or fails to remain lit. Under such conditions, the gas
should be cut off and the fuel cylinder should be disconnected.
Operating the smoker under HIGH WIND conditions could result in poor burner operation such as flame blow
out and flaring, should be avoided. If repositioning the smokers does not improve operation under such
wind conditions, the smoker should be shut off and gas supply at the LP cylinder closed.
All installations are to conform to local codes. In absence of
local code, installation should conform to the National Fuel
Gas code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
The smoker should be installed with the hose regulator assembly
extended at full length of the hose directly (24 inches (61cm))
away from the burner. When so configured, placement results
in maximum LP cylinder-to-smoker distance. When the smoker is
operated, the hose/valve/regulator (HVR) should be on a line
perpendicular to wind direction. Placing the LP cylinder closer
than 24 inches (61cm) to the smoker can overheat the LP cylinder
and cause release of propane through relief openings and can
result in cylinder fire or explosion.
