5.2 Special Instructions for the Use of Regulator and Propane Cylinder
GAS HOOK-UP
Only the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the smoker should be used. Any
replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly must be specified by the smoker manufacturer. This smoker is
configured for Liquid Propane. Do not use a Natural Gas supply.
LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS:
(20-lb Cylinder) A dented or rusty Liquid Propane cylinder may be
hazardous and should be checked by your supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. The Liquid Propane
cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for Liquid Propane cylinders by the
United States Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods Commission. The 20-lb cylinder must have a shut off valve
terminating in a valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection type QCC1 in the standard for compressed gas
cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoor is
permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance. The cylinder
system must be arranged for vapor withdrawal. The cylinder must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Manifold
pressure: (operating) 11 inches water column (W.C.), (non-operating) 11.2 inches water column (W.C.). The Liquid
Propane cylinder must be fitted with an Overfill Protection Device (OPD). Remove the plastic valve cover from the
Liquid Propane cylinder. Make sure the smoker gas hoses do not contact the grease pan or smoker firebox when the
Liquid Propane cylinder is placed into the cart.
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER:
To connect the Liquid Propane gas supply cylinder: The cylinder
valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the valve clockwise until it stops. Make sure the cylinder valve has
the proper type-1 external male thread connections per ANSI Z21.81. Make sure the burner valves are in the “OFF” posi-
tion. Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly. Remove debris and inspect the hose for damage. When
connecting the regulator assembly to the valve, use your hand to tighten the nut clockwise until it stops. Use of a wrench
could damage the quick coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation Open the cylinder valve fully by turning the valve
counterclockwise. Before lighting the smoker, use a soap and water solution to check all the connections for leaks. If a leak
is found, turn the cylinder valve “OFF” and do not use the smoker until a local Liquid Propane dealer can make repairs.
