READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS!

YOUR SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT - FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER PROCEDURES AND SAFEGUARDS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

DO NOT use this smoker in a manner other than its intended purpose. It is NOT intended for commercial use. It is NOT intended to be installed or used in or on a recreational vehicle and/or boats. The smoker is not to be used as a heater.

Keep a fire extinguisher accessible at all times.

The use of alcohol, prescription or nonprescription drugs may impair the user's ability to properly assemble or safely operate the smoker.

This smoker is for outdoor use only, in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT operate the smoker indoors, in a garage, or in any other enclosed area or under overhead construction.

Use caution when assembling and operating the smoker to avoid cuts and scrapes from rough or sharp edges.

Use caution when lifting and moving the smoker to avoid strains or back injury. 2 people are recommended to lift or move the smoker. DO NOT move the smoker while it is in use.

DO NOT operate the smoker near or under flammable or combustible materials such as decks, porches, or carports. A minimum clearance of 36 inches (92 cm) is recommended. DO NOT operate the smoker under overhead construction.

Operate the smoker only on a stable, level, non-flammable surface such as asphalt, concrete or solid ground. DO NOT operate the smoker on flammable material such as carpet or a wood deck.

DO NOT store the smoker near gasoline or other combustible liquids or where combustible vapors may be present.

DO NOT store or operate this smoker in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the smoker in a dry, protected location.

DO NOT leave the smoker unattended while in use. Operate the smoker with close supervision.

DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the smoker during or following use until it has cooled. It is hot during operation and remains hot for a period of time following use.

DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the smoker cools completely.

DO NOT move the smoker while it is in use. Allow the smoker to cool completely before moving or storing.

This smoker becomes extremely hot - allow the smoker to cool completely before handling. If you must handle the smoker while it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective oven mitts or heat resistant gloves when handling the smoker or its components.

NEVER use gasoline or other highly volatile fluids as a starter. They can explode.

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.

Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy duty aluminum foil and putting them in a noncombustible container. Be sure there are no other combustible materials in or near the container.

If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the ashes from the smoker, keeping them in heavy duty foil, and soak them completely with water before disposing of them in a noncombustible container.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and/or ventilation air for the smoker.

3	continued...

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.

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.

Allow the smoker and its components to cool completely before conducting any routine cleaning or maintenance.

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 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.

When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient amount prior to operation to avoid having to add wood while operating. Adding wood 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 appliance. DO NOT store spare LP cylinders within 10 feet of the smoker. LP cylinders 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 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.

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.

LP Tank

Not Included

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 extended at full length of hose directly (24” [61 cm] maximum) 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 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.

USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.
