If your heat indicator seems to be out of calibration: Remove the heat indicator from the door of the smoker by loosening and removing the mounting nut from the inside. There is a second nut mounted on the back of the heat indicator that can be turned to adjust the heat indicator needle. Set the needle to the current outdoor ambient temperature and re-mount the heat indicator to the door of the smoker.

To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet, simply use a 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. Carefully remove the grease pan, dispose the grease, and wash thoroughly. 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 hose/regulator, hang the end of the hose/regulator from the side handle using the supplied S-hook.

To protect your smoker from weather, always keep your smoker covered while not in use.

Inspect the flames at the burner by looking through the front access hole.A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip 1” to 2” in length. If flames are excessively yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may be collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the burner surface and the holes to improve the flames. Bad flames may also be caused by poor gas valve orifice-to-burner attachment. Always let the smoker cool before cleaning or checking the assembly.

STORAGE

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:

Clean all surfaces.

When cool and not in use, store your smoker indoors in a dry location to protect against rusting.

If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
