•
Only use this smoker on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.). Never use on wooden or
other surfaces that could burn.
•
Always use a drip pan/ash guard under smoker to protect surface from heat damage and/or discoloration and to catch
ashes, embers and drippings. Place a thin layer of water in drip pan/ash guard to help extinguish falling ashes and embers.
A drip pan/ash guard is designed for use with a smoker for easy clean up of drippings that can cause discoloration of
surface and to catch falling ashes and embers.
•
Proper clearance of 10 feet (3m) between the smoker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences,
buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when smoker is in use. Do not place smoker under a roof
overhang or enclosed area.
•
For household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.
•
For outdoor use only. Do not operate smoker indoors or in an enclosed area.Do not use on balconies.
•
Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.
•
Do not move smoker when water pan contains hot liquids.
•
Water pan should always be used when smoking. Do not allow liquid in water pan to completely evaporate. Check water
pan every 2 hours and add water if level is low (a sizzling sound may indicate a need for water). Follow instructions in
“Adding Water During Cooking” section of this manual.
•
Always keep water in water pan even after food is removed from smoker. Water will evaporate and grease in water pan can
catch on fire.
•
Use extreme caution when adding charcoal/wood. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section
of this manual.
•
Never move smoker when it is in use or when water pans contain hot liquids.

Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
•
We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you
choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read instructions on
the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to use.
•
When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes) prior
to closing door and placing dome lid on smoker. This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could
trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in smoker and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when door is opened or dome
lid is removed.
•
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.
•
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products will cause an
explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
