IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.
1
WARNING
• Only use this smoker on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of
the smoker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.
• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the smoker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or
construction should be maintained at all times when smoker is in use. Do not place smoker under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.
• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Do not operate smoker indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.
• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to
use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away
from smoker.
• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker box door open until covered with a light ash (approximately
20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in
smoker and may result in a flash fire or explosion when smoker box door is opened.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
• Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when
smoker is in use.
• Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.
• When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”
section of this manual.
• To avoid overturning/spilling pan of hot liquid, never pull water pan bracket out more than 4”. Refer to the illustration in “Adding
Water During Cooking” section of this manual.
• Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

WARNING
• Smoker is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
• DO NOT attempt to move the smoker.
• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts.
• DO NOT touch any hot smoker surfaces.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with smoker.
• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the door, keep hands,
face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
• Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of smoker. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of
you smoker.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from possible sharp edges of metal parts. Use
caution when reaching into or under smoker.
• In windy weather, place smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Never leave coals and ashes in smoker unattended. Before smoker can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be
removed from smoker. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours
prior to disposing.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible and flammable materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may
have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• After each use and the smoker has cooled completely, clean the smoker thoroughly and reapply a light coat of oil to interior to
prevent rusting. Cover the smoker to protect it from excessive rusting.
• Use caution when lifting or moving smoker to prevent strains and back injuries. Moving smoker may require the help of an
additional person.
• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.
• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not recommended and
may lead to personal injury or property damage.
• Store the smoker out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
• Do not attempt to service smoker other than normal maintenance as explained in “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care &
Maintenance” sections of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.
