CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

10. THIS SMOKER BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT! DO NOT
allow anyone to conduct activities around the Smoker during or
following use, until it has cooled. The Smoker is hot during use and
remains hot for a period of time following use. Allow the Smoker to
cool completely before moving or storing. DO NOT leave hot ashes
unattended until the Smoker cools completely. If you must move the
Smoker while it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective oven mitts or heat
resistant gloves when handling the Smoker or its components.
11. NEVER use gasoline or other highly volatile fluids as a starter.
They can Explode.
12. The Water Bowl and Wood Chip Box should not be moved while
the Smoker is operating, or until the Smoker has cooled sufficiently.
These contain hot ashes and liquids that may cause serious injury! If
you must move these components, ALWAYS wear protective oven
mitts or heat resistant gloves.
13. Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy duty aluminum
foil and putting them in a non-combustible container. Be sure there
are no other combustible materials in or near the container. If you
must dispose of the ashes before they have completely cooled,
remove the ashes from the Smoker, keeping them in a heavy duty
foil, and soak them completely with water before disposing of them in
a non-combustible container.
14. Use caution when opening the Door of the Smoker while in
operation. Keep hands, face, and body safe from hot steam or flare-
ups. Protect your nose and mouth from smoke inhalation.
15. DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating the Smoker. Tie
back long hair while operating the Smoker. ALWAYS wear fully-
covering shoes while operating the Smoker.
16. Allow Smoker and its components to cool completely before
conducting routine cleaning or maintenance.
17. NEVER use glassware, plastic, or ceramic cookware on or in
your Smoker.
18. NEVER operate the Smoker without water in the Water Bowl.
NEVER allow the water to completely evaporate. 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.
19. When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient amount prior to
operation to avoid having to add wood while in operation. Adding
wood while operating may splash hot water and cause serious injury.
20. Use of accessories not intended for this Smoker is not
recommended and may lead to injury or property damage.
21. An LP gas cylinder not connected for use should not be stored
in the vicinity of the Smoker or any other appliance. DO NOT
store spare LP gas cylinders within 10 feet of the Smoker. LP gas
cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children. DO NOT
store LP gas 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 LP gas cylinders could lead to explosion, fire,
and/or personal injury.
22. While the Smoker is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the
supply cylinder.
23. LP gasses are heavier than air, tend to pool and collect in
low-lying areas, are easily ignited and are highly flammable! Proper
care and caution should be employed when dealing with any such
fuels. 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.
24. DO NOT use the Smoker if the burner fails to light or fails to
remain lit. Under such conditions, gas should be shut off and fuel
cylinders should be disconnected.
25. 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 until conditions are more
favorable for proper usage.
26. 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.
27. The Smoker should be installed with the hose regulator assembly
extended at full length of hose directly (30") away from the burner.
When so configured, placement results in maximum tank to Smoker
distance. When the Smoker is operated, the hose/regulator and gas
tank should be on a line perpendicular to wind direction. Placing
tank closer than 30" to the Smoker can overheat the tank and cause
release of propane through relief openings and can result in tank fire
or explosion.
