LIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Igniter Lighting:
1. Check all connections for leaks using the "soapy water" test as explained on page 13.
2. Open the smoker cabinet door.
3. Check for any blockage to the venturi tube or burner. Remove any foreign objects or matter.
4. Be sure the burner control knob is in the "OFF" position.
5. Open the LP Cylinder valve 1-1/2 turn by turning counter-clockwise.
6. To light unit with the igniter, turn the burner control knob to the Max (Lighting Position)
and then immediately, press the igniter knob until it clicks (you should see a small spark
jumping from the end of the electrode rod to the side of the burner). This spark should
ignite the gas coming through to the burner. Adjust your flame down with the burner
control knob to your desired setting.
If the burner doesn't light within 3 to 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob to "OFF", and
wait five (5) minutes.
CAUTION: Some LP gas, being heavier than air, may have settled near the burner during the
initial lighting attempt. Prior to attempting to relight the burner, fan out the bottom of the
cabinet of existing air. Then repeat the above lighting steps again. If burner still fails to light, try
match lighting the smoker using the instructions noted below.
Once the burner is lit, then gently close the door to allow heat to accumulate. The vent can then
be adjusted to the desired setting to allow proper air flow and combustion. Vent adjustment
tips are listed on the previous page.
Match Lighting:
1. Repeats steps 1 through 5 of the Igniter Lighting above.
2. Remove the water pan and wood chip box (including stand or frame) from the inside of the
smoker. Light a match and drop it into the burner chamber, making sure it falls next to the
burner. Quickly turn the control knob to the Max (Lighting Position). If the burner does not
light within 4 or 5 seconds, turn the burner control knot to OFF, wait five (5) minutes, fan
out the bottom of the cabinet of existing air, then repeat the process.
