WARNING
Use caution when operating the door of the smoker while in operation. Keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam or
DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating the smoker. Tie back long hair while operating the smoker. ALWAYS wear
Allow the smoker and its components to cool completely before conducting any routine cleaning or mainte- nance.
NEVER use glassware, plastic or ceramic cookware on or in your smoker.
NEVER operate the smoker without water in the water bowl. NEVER allow the water to completely evapo- rate. Check the water level at least every 2 hours. A sizzling sound may indicate a low water level. Follow instructions in this manual for adding water while operating.
When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient amount prior to operation to avoid having to add wood while operating. Adding while operating may splash hot water and cause serious injury.
Use of accessories not intended for this smoker is not recommended and may lead to injury or property damage.
An LP cylinder not connected for use should not be stored in the vicinity of the smoker or any other appli- ance. DO NOT store spare LP cylinders within 10 feet of the smoker. LP cylinder must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children. DO NOT store lP cylinders in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
DO NOT store LP gas cylinders inside or on top of the smoker. Improper storage of cylinders could lead to explosion, fire and/or personal injury. Cylinders are to be stored outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
While the smoker is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
LP Gases are heavier than air, tend to pool and collect in
The smoker should be shut off and all supply valves (on piping or on fuel cylinders) should be closed in the event that the odor of unburned gas is detected. Do not attempt to use the unit until any gas leaks are fixed and/or the source of the unburned gas odor is accounted for.
Do not use the smoker if the burner fails to light or fails to remain it. Under such conditions, gas should be shut off and fuel cylinder should be disconnected.
Use under high wind conditions that result in poor burner operation such as blowing out and flaring should be avoided. If repositioning the unit does not improve operation under such wind conditions, the
unit should be shut off.
All installations are to conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes, installation should conform to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
The smoker should be installed with the hose regulator assembly ex- tended at full length of the hose directly (24” [61 cm] maximum) away from the burner. When so configured, placement results in maximum tank to smoker distance. When the smoke is operated, the hose/reg- ulator and gas tank should be on a line perpendicular to wind direc- tion. Placing tank closer than 24” (61 cm) to the smoker can overheat the tank and cause release of propane through relief openings and can result in tank fire or explosion.
