Valve/pressure regulators are factory
set to the correct operating pressures. NO
attempts should be made to adjust these
settings.
Connecting the LP Gas Cylinder:
1. The valve on the LP cylinder must be closed. See
that the knob is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the smoker is
turned OFF.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP Cylinder
valve and coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the
nipple into the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple is
centered in the valve outlet. The coupling nut
connects to the large outside threads on the valve
outlet, Use care - DO NOT cross thread the connec-
tion.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it
comes to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only.
DO NOT USE TOOLS.
CAUTION:
In the connection process, the regula-
tor side of the connection will seal on the back check
in the valve, resulting in a slight resistance. The
connection requires about one-half (1/2) to three-
quarters (3/4) additional turn to complete the
connection.
When setting up the smoker and cylinder, it is recom-
mended to have the cylinder and the smoker on a line
perpendicular to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally
extended to the maximum distance so that the hose
is straight and the cylinder is as far from the smoker
as it can be.
LP cylinders are intended for operation in the upright
position only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose
from damage for either foot or vehicle traffic.
If the smoker is not in use, the gas must be turned
off at the LP cylinder and the cylinder should be
disconnected from the smoker and stored away from
the smoker.

ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO PREVENT FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.
Storage fo the smoker indoors is only permissible if
the LP cylinder is disconnected and removed from
the smoker.
LP cylinder must be stored outdoors out of reach of
children and pets, and must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Leak Testing (Check for gas leaks)
After all connections are completed, check all
connections and fittings for leaks with a soap
solution.
* Mix dish soap with water (about 3:1 mix ratio)
* With all valves closed, apply the soap solution to
all gas flow connections and fittings.
* Open LP Cylinder valve about 1 -1/2 turn.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution
indicates a gas leak.
If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut
off the value and repair the leak or replace the
defective part. DO NOT USE THE SMOKER UNTIL
ALL LEAKS ARE CORRECTED.
