GENERAL WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION
• LP gas cylinder being used must be constructed and marked in accordance with specifications for LP gas
cylinders of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes
for the Transportation for Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
• Never use gas cylinder if there is evidence of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, erosion, leakage,
excessive rust, or other forms of visible external damage. This may be hazardous and cylinder should be
taken to a liquid propane supplier to be checked.
• Never attach/disconnect gas cylinder, move or alter gas fittings when unit is in operation.
• Always disconnect gas cylinder from unit when not in use.
•
Propane only, 15.48MJ/h, inlet pressure 2.75kpa, injector orifice 1.1mm.
• This product will NOT operate with natural gas.
• When use is complete, always, first turn the smoker control knob OFF, then turn the gas cylinder valve OFF,
and finally disconnect the cylinder.
• Gas MUST be turned off at the supply cylinder when not in use.
• Cylinder MUST be stored outdoors, out of children’s reach and must NOT be stored in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area.
• Do NOT store spare LP gas cylinder under or near unit. Gas cylinder safety relief valve may overheat
allowing gas to release causing fire which may cause death or serious injury.
• Never fill cylinder over 80% full or cylinder may release gas causing fire which may cause death or serious
injury.
• Place a dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever cylinder is not in use. Only install dust cap provided with
cylinder. Other caps or plugs may cause leaks.
• If you smell, hear or see gas escaping, immediately get away from gas cylinder and call the Fire Department.
Fire may cause death or serious injury.
• Reference ignition steps before use.
• Never use lighter fluid with propane.
• Wood chips or wood chunks must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor.
• Flame disk bowl/ wood chip tray/bowl is HOT when unit is in use. Use caution when adding wood.
• Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to be
emptied periodically during cooking.
• Do not open upper smoker door(s) unless necessary. Opening smoker door(s) causes heat to escape, which
may cause extended cooking time and may cause wood to flare up. Closing the door(s) will re-stabilize the
temperature and stop flare up.
• This is a smoker. There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through
seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door(s), door
latch(s) can be adjusted to further tighten door seal against body.
• To adjust door handle/latch, loosen the two screws that mount the door hook to the smoker body. Slide the
door hook forward or rearward as needed to achieve the desired door seal. Then retighten the two door hook
screws. Be sure not to set the door handle/latch too tight as it could cause damage to the unit and make it
difficult to operate. The door should be adjusted so that it closes completely.
• When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m), additional
cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a meat thermometer to test
internal temperature.
• Do not use wood pellets.
• Food needs to be in the center of smoking racks. This allows food drippings to go into the water bowl.
• Do not leave old wood or ashes in the flame disk bowl/woodchip tray/bowl. Once ashes are cold, empty
bowl/tray. Bowl/tray should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash and residue buildup.
• Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-
combustible container.
• Do not store unit with HOT ashes inside unit.
• DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION.
• DO NOT USE OR STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN OR NEAR THIS APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT PLACE ARTICLES ON OR AGAINST THIS APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
• SERVICING SHALL BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL, AND THAT THE APPLIANCE
SHALL NOT BE MODIFIED.
