CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY
GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The smoker is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC)
and is for use with LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas tank.
Contact
your gas supplier for a special regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used.
INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER
1. From the side of the cart, place foot ring of 9 kg (20 lbs) tank
onto the gas tank bracket. Make sure the tank valve is in
OFF position. Use the tank bolt to secure the tank in a fixed
position. Ensure the tank is completely upright, as it is unsafe
to operate the smoker if the gas tank is not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the smoker is completely closed
by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps.
4. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve. Turn the quick coupling nut clockwise until
firm. Hand-tighten only.
5. Gas cylinder is now installed.
The outdoor grill, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full.
3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
5. The LP gas tank used must have a collar to protect the tank valve.
6. Always keep the LP cylinder at 90 degrees (upright) orientation to provide vapor withdrawal.
DISCONNECTING A GAS CYLINDER
1. Ensure the regulator valve on the smoker is completely closed by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
2. Turn the quick coupling nut counter-clockwise (by hand) to disconnect from the regulator valve opening. Replace the
protective caps on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).
NOTE: If storing the smoker indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.
WARNING: Do not fold up or transport smoker with gas cylinder attached. The cylinder may loosen off the
valve and cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas
cylinder first before travel or storage.

20. Assembly of the 3.2 Gas Smoker
LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) SPECIFICATIONS:
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with all applicable local codes, or the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54.
When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas smoker, it must be:
1.
Transportation (DOT), and
2.
3. Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliance.
Operating Instructions
1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
2. Place the cylinder into the tank support bracket on the bottom of the left brace. Then place tank retention wire
over cylinder handle and secure tightly.
3. Orient the cylinder such that the hose is not kinked or damaged.
4. Make sure tank sits securely in tank support bracket.
INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) ON TO THE SMOKER:
1. Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration
prior to use. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting
damaged rubber seal.
2. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is sitting
in tank holder.
3. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
4. Check that the smoker’s burner control knobs are in the “OFF” positions.
5. Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage,
excess wear, or deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your
smoker. Only the manufacturer’s supplied replacement should be used.
6. Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder valve.
7. Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact sharp edges, and does not contact surfaces that may
become hot during use.
8. Hold regulator and insert the brass nipple into the LP cylinder valve outlet. Ensure that the device is centered properly.
9. Turn the large coupling nut clockwise by hand and tighten to a full stop. Take care not to cross thread the
coupling nut onto the cylinder valve. Do not use tools to tighten connection. Note: If you are unable to make the
connection, repeat Steps 7 and 8.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
• A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
•
BEFORE STORING YOUR SMOKER:
• Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
• Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the smoker indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
