After all connections are completed, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a
soap solution.
• With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dishwashing
detergent and water) to all gas carrying connections, fittings and to tank seams.
• Open tank valve.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected
or you smell or hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective
part. Do not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.
When setting up the smoker and tank, it is recommended to have the tank and smoker
on a line perpendicular to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended to the maximum distance
so that the hose is straight and the tank is as far from the smoker as it can be.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose from damage from either foot or
vehicle traffic.
If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder and the
cylinder should be disconnected from the appliance.
Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and
removed from the appliance.
