• Inspect hose before each use. If there are signs of abrasion, wear, cuts, or leaks, the hose must be
replaced. DO NOT USE.
• Inspect burner before each use. Check burner and burner venturi tube for insects and insect nests.
A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath unit.
• Check to ensure the orifice is centered inside the venturi tube. Failure to properly assemble the
valve orifice to the venture tube can result in gas leak or potential fire at connection. See assembly
steps for proper assembly method.
• Check to ensure the igniter pin is properly spaced and aligned to the burner. Igniter pin should be
approximately 1/4” from the burner and aligned to the top of a burner port (Fig. 2). Confirm spacing
is correct by pressing the igniter button and ensuring spark occurs between igniter pin and burner.
• Connect hose regulator to LP Gas Cylinder
1. Make sure gas cylinder valve is closed. Turn valve clockwise until it stops.
2. Make sure control knob on smoker is in the OFF position.
3. Remove protective cap from gas cylinder and coupling nut if applicable.
4. Center and insert regulator nipple into valve outlet on gas cylinder (Fig. 1). Turn regulator
coupling nut counter clockwise until it stops. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
• Perform Soapy Water Test.
• Before starting lighting procedure make sure the smoker door(s) are open.
• When lighting burner remove all parts inside or on unit to prevent explosion from gas build up.
• To use, turn gas cylinder valve ON, push control knob in, hold and and turn counter-clockwise to
desired temperature setting. Push ignitor button to light, after ignition continue holding control knob
in for 5 seconds to activate the flame sensor.
• If ignition does not take place within five seconds, turn control knob to OFF position and wait five
minutes and repeat lighting procedures. If ignition still does not occur, see match light instructions.
• Always ensure that smoker door(s) are open before igniting. Gas can accumulate in smoker.
• If flame goes out during cooking, turn control knob OFF, turn gas cylinder valve OFF, wait 5
minutes, then open door(s) and wait 5 additional minutes before repeating ignition instructions
above.
• Control knob sets the smoker to a desired temperature. Push control knob in and turn clockwise to
shut flame off.
• Visually check burner flame (Fig. 3). A CORRECT FLAME should be blue with a small amount of
yellow at the tip. An INCORRECT FLAME is excessively yellow and irregular. If an incorrect flame
occurs, turn control knob to OFF position, turn OFF gas cylinder valve, allow unit to cool and then
clean burner. Let burner completely dry before re-lighting.
• After use turn control knob OFF, then turn gas cylinder valve OFF and disconnect tank.
