vapors.
• DO NOT store this smoker in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the smoker in a dry,
protected location.
• DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the smoker following use until it has cooled. It is

• This smoker becomes extremely hot. Allow the smoker to cool completely before handling. If you
must handle the smoker whilst it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective mitts or heat resistant gloves. Allow
the smoker to cool before cleaning the racks, water bowl and wood chip box.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED AFTER EACH USE:
CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed only when the smoker is turned off
and fully cooled.
• Clean the water bowl and cooking grids with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may prefer
to coat the water bowl and cooking grids lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
• Frequently check and clean the venturi and burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead
to fire outside 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 damp cloth. Spray washing with a
water hose is not recommended. All 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 minimise recurring rust.
• When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the
regulator, hang the end of the regulator hose from the side handle using the supplied S-hook.
• To protect your smoker from weather, always keep your smoker covered while not in use. Keep the
area clear of all flammable liquids, combustible material including but not limited to wood, dry plants
including grass, brush, paper, and canvas.
• The smoker may be stored indoors only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed.
