OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
After connections are made, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
1. With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dishwashing soap
and water) to all gas carrying connections and fittings.
2. Open tank valve.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell
or hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part.
Do not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended to the maximum distance so that
the hose is straight and the tank is as far from the smoker as it can be (Minimum 24 in.).
For vapor withdrawal, LP tanks are intended to be operated in the upright position only.
If the product is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder and the cylinder should
be disconnected from the appliance.
Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed
from the appliance. Do not store cylinder indoors.
OPERATION
Before first use
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.
Before you cook food in your smoker, it is important to “season” your smoker. Seasoning seals the
paint and interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance.
To season your smoker, simply use it as you normally would only do not cook any food. You will
need to follow all of the operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
Using your desired flavoring woods and marinades, burn your smoker at low temperature
(around 175°F) for 45 – 60 minutes. Let the smoker cool, and clean out the water and wood.
Once seasoning is complete, your smo er s interior ill have a durable, seasoned coating.
Adding Water
To add water before cooking, simply remove the water bowl and fill it with water slightly below the rim.
Then place the bowl back into the smoker. Enough water before cooking is recommended.
To add water while cooking, if a sizzling sound indicating lack of water is heard, or really need to
add water, open the bottom door with care and avoid taking in the smoke, use a long nose kettle-
like water can, stand yourself as far from the smoker as you can, fill the water bowl up to 1 in.
below the rim.
CAUTION: DO NOT pull the water bowl out beyond the rack when the smoker is hot.
16
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cooking tip
Line the water bowl with aluminum foil before each use. This will make it easy to clean and help your
water bowl last longer.
To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can with a long spout.
Adding wood/charcoal
To add wood chips before cooking, simply fill the wood chip box with your choice of flavoring hardwood
chips. The amount and type of wood you use is entirely dependent on the desired amount of flavor.
Once the box is filled, place the lid on top of the box and set the box in the smoker.
To add wood chips while cooking, we recommend using tongs or long handled pliers to remove
the box lid and to place the pieces into the wood chip box without removing the box. It is not
recommended to remove the wood chip box while the smoker is in operation.
CAUTION: The wood chip box and lid get very hot. Avoid handling them while in use.
Always wear protective oven mitts when handling hot components.
Cooking Tip: Flavoring wood
• Small ood chips or best inside the ood chip box.
• Use dry hard oods such as hic ory, pecan, apple, cherry or mesquite.
• Most fruit or nut tree oods produce excellent smo e flavoring.
• Do not use resinous oods such as pine or ply ood. These usually produce unpleasant flavoring.
• Let your taste be your guide. Experiment ith different types and quantities of ood chun s,
chips, or sticks. You can even mix woods.
• To produce more smo e and prevent fast burning, pre-soa the ood chips in a separate bo l
of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil.
• Most smo e flavoring occurs ithin the first hour of coo ing. Adding ood chips after the first
hour is typically not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.

Cooking Tip: Damper Adjustments
WARNING: The dampers on the smoker body and the handle on the top damper housing
may become very hot while cooking. Always wear a heat resistant glove when adjusting.
• For best performance, rotate the smo er so that the front or bac of the body is facing the ind.
This allows the adjustment of the dampers to be more effective and accurate.
• The t o dampers on smo er body should never be fully closed.
• Opening the damper of the top damper housing helps to exhaust both the heat and smo e.
• The ey to effective smo ing is to atch your heat indicator on the door and adjust the
dampers accordingly.
• Temperature maintenance is best controlled by different damper adjustment configurations.

WARNING
• Use caution hen lifting and moving the smo er to avoid strain injuries.
Two people are recommended to lift or move the smoker.
• DO NOT store the smo er near gasoline or other combustible liquids or here combustible vapors
may be present. Keep the area around the smoker clear and free of combustible materials and vapors.
• DO NOT store this smo er in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the smo er in a dry,
protected location. Disconnect cylinder from smoker.
• DO NOT allo anyone to conduct activities around the smo er follo ing use until it has cooled.
It is hot during operation and remains hot for a period of time following use.
• DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the smo er cools completely.
• The smo er becomes extremely hot allo the smo er to cool completely before handling. If you
must handle the smoker while it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.
Allow the smoker to cool before removing and cleaning the grease pan.
• Dispose of cold ashes by rapping them in heavy-duty aluminum foil and putting them in a
noncombustible container.
• If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it ta es for them to completely cool. Remove the
ashes from the smoker, keeping them in heavy-duty foil, and soak them completely with water
before disposing of them in a noncombustible container.
GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed while the smoker is turned
off and cooled. Always perform maintenance by a qualified service person.
Clean the water bowl and cooking grate with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may
prefer to coat the water bowl and cooking grid lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
Frequently check and clean the venturi and burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube
can lead to fire beneath the smoker. Also make sure the smoker does not have any foreign objects
obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet, simply use a damp cloth. Spray-washing with
a water hose is not recommended. Moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or
on top of the smoker. Once cleaned, you may prefer to lightly coat the interior of the smoker cabinet
with cooking oil or cooking spray.
If rust is present on the exterior surface of the smoker, clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth
and use heavy-duty, heat-resistant paint.
NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the smoker. If rust is present on the interior of the
smoker, clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with cooking oil
or cooking spray to help minimize recurring rust.
When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging
the regulator connector, hang the end of the hose and regulator assembly on the lifting handle (A).
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
21
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect the flames at the burner by looking through the observing hole on left side of the Burner and
control unit “H”. A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip 1 to 2 in. high. If flames are excessively
yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may be collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the
burner surface with hot, soapy water and cleaning the holes with a pipe cleaner to improve the flames.
Bad flames may also be caused by poor venturi attachment to the orifice. Turn off the control knob
and cylinder valve, always let the smoker cool before cleaning or checking the assembly. Make sure
the orifice of the control valve properly mates with the burner mixing tube by visual observation from
the bottom of the appliance. The burner venturi tube should overlap the orifice and they should form
a straight line as shown in Figure A. Figures B & C show incorrect alignment.
WARNING: If the instructions above not followed, an explosion may result, possibly causing
serious bodily injury or death.
To protect your smoker from weather conditions, always keep it covered while not in use.

SUGGESTED SMOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES
26
Please understand that these are only guidelines. All smokers are different. Take into consideration
other variables such as weather conditions, wind, ambient temperature, etc. and things can vary by as
much as an hour or more.
Learn to tell doneness visually as well as with temperature and time and you will be a much better
chef with the smoker.
TIPS ON SMOKING
Smoking foods is different from grilling foods. Smoking is typically done slowly and at a lower
temperature than grilling. The smoke produced by the wood infuses itself into the meat giving it that
great smoked flavor. Grilling is a much quicker cooking process using higher temperatures.
Al ays follo the manufacturer s recommendations for cleaning and care. Monitor your fuel
supply, running out of propane half ay through the smo ing process isn t fun. Consider purchasing
a spare propane tank as a back-up.
Here s a list of the most popular smo ing oods and a little information about each.
