WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER.

WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

WARNING

Only use this smoker on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the smoker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

Proper clearance of 10 feet 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 other 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.

Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.

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 manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from smoker.

When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker lids and dampers open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). 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 lid is opened.

Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a 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.

Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

Never add charcoal and/or wood through firebox side door or firebox air vent.

Do not place glass, plastic or other containers that will break or melt on hot warming tray. Only use metal or oven-safe cookware on warming tray.

The warming tray and firebox lid will be extremely hot during use. Use caution and always wear oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands from burns when handling cookware on warming tray.

Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when smoker is in use.

Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.

When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.

Never move smoker when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes.

Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

When grilling in the large cooking chamber, grease hole should be closed with the ash-guard shield to contain ashes and embers. When smoking, grease hole should be open to allow grease to drip into a metal bucket or tin can. Whether smoking or grilling, a metal bucket or tin can must be kept under the grease hole at all times to catch grease drippings and or hot embers.
