• Only connect this smoker to a Type 1 cylinder valve. The Type 1 valve can be identified with the large external
threads on the valve outlet.
• Do NOT connect to a propane cylinder
other than
a 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity.
• Do NOT connect to a cylinder that uses any other type of valve connection device.
• 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 in an explosion, fire or severe bodily harm.
• Turn off the cylinder valve when your smoker is not in use.
• Handle the tank with care.
• Always secure the cylinder in an upright position.
• Never connect an unregulated LP gas cylinder to your smoker.
• DO NOT expose LP gas cylinders to excessive heat or ignition sources.
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near your smoker.
• Never fill an LP cylinder beyond 80% full.
• If the instructions above are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions that are on the cylinder and that accompany this product.
DANGER
• DO NOT store a spare LP gas cylinder (full or empty) under or near your smoker. This could cause excess pressure
to be expelled through the vapor relief valve resulting in fire, explosion, or severe personal injury, including death.
• Propane gas is heavier than air and will collect in low areas. Proper ventilation is extremely important. Keep
the ventilation opening(s) of the LP gas cylinder enclosure free and clear from obstructions and debris.
• DO NOT insert any foreign objects into the cylinder valve outlet as this could damage the rubber seal. Do not
use propane tank with a damaged rubber seal. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting
in explosion, fire, severe bodily harm, or death. Inspect rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration prior to use.
• Always keep cylinder (tank) in upright position during use, transit or storage.
• DO NOT attempt to connect smoker, as purchased for LP (propane) gas, to any other fuel supply source such
as a natural gas line.
• Do not use any other pressure regulator/hose assembly other than the one supplied with your smoker.
Replacement pressure regulator/hose assembly must be part No SH9916-26, which can be obtained by
contacting customer service at 1-866-475-5180 (Monday–Friday, 8:30 am–4:30 pm, CST)
• Do not attempt to adjust or repair a regulator. The regulator is designed to operate at a maximum output
pressure of 11 inches of water column (2.74 kPa).
• Ensure the tank valve is closed prior to connecting the LP gas cylinder to your smoker. Turn the valve knob
clockwise to properly close the valve. Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the supply hose
safety tags. Read and follow all warnings in this manual concerning the safe use of LP gas cylinders and the
hose and regulator before connecting cylinder to smoker. Read and follow all warnings on the LP cylinder.
