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, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.). Never use on wooden or
other surfaces that could burn.
• Always use a drip pan/ash guard under smoker to protect surface from heat damage and/or discoloration and to catch
ashes, embers and drippings. Place a thin layer of water in drip pan/ash guard to help extinguish falling ashes and
embers. A drip pan/ash guard is designed for use with a smoker for easy clean up of drippings that can cause
discoloration of surface and to catch falling ashes and embers.
• 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 household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.
• For outdoor use only. Do not operate smoker indoors or in an enclosed area.
• Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.
• Do not move smoker when water pan contains hot liquids.
• Water pan should always be used when smoking. Do not allow liquid in water pan to completely evaporate. Check water
pan every 2 hours and add water if level is low (a sizzling sound may indicate a need for water). Follow instructions in
“Adding Water During Cooking” section of this manual.
• Always keep water in water pan even after food is removed from smoker. Water will evaporate and grease in water pan
can catch on fire.
• Use extreme caution when adding charcoal/wood. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section
of this manual.
• Never move smoker when it is in use.
• Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
• 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 instructions on
the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to use.
• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes) prior
to closing door and placing dome lid on smoker. 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 door is opened or dome
lid is removed.
• Do not use self-starting charcoal. Use only 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 will cause an
explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

WARNING
• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals.
• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen replace dome lid
to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.
• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the dome lid,
keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam and flame flare-ups. Remove the dome lid by tilting it toward you to allow
heat and steam to escape away from your face.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.
• Check support brackets to make sure they are secure and notches are upright before each use.
• Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when
smoker is in use.
• Use caution when lifting or moving smoker to prevent strains and back injuries.
• In windy weather, place smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely while using smoker.
• Use caution when reaching into or under smoker. Always wear oven mitts or gloves to protect your hands from burns.
Avoid touching hot surfaces.
• 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.
• 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. Place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and completely saturate 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 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.
• Store the smoker out of reach of children, indoors 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.
• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN USING YOUR SMOKER.
