SPIDER WEBS

INSIDE VENTURI

BURNER

In some areas of the country, spiders or small insects have been known to create “flashback” problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill’s venturi tube(s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The backed-up gas can ignite in the venturi behind the control panel. This is known as a flashback and it can damage your grill and even cause injury.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not

use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into

the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

8. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

9. Attach electrode to burner.

10. Carefully replace control panel assembly .

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve

opening. See illustration, shown F.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water

before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat

foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a

thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC (202) 720-3333, 10:00 am4:00 pm EST.

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked on the appliance often browns very

fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your appliance.

• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 160° F.

• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

Storing Your Appliance

• Store in dry location.

• When LP cylinder is connected to appliance, store outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.

• If Regulator is disconnected from the LP cylinder, a hook is provided to hang Regulator from the handle as shown.

Use wire hook provided

to store regulator.

• Cover appliance if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of covers offered by manufacturer.

• Store indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from appliance and stored outdoors.

• When removing appliance from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting.

Safety Precautions while cooking:

• The exterior surfaces of your CB600x™ can become extremely

hot during use. Be sure to wear insulated oven mitts or gloves before making adjustments to the Top Damper or when opening the Smoker door.

Water Level

• Watch water level. Always keep water in water pan (unless you

wish to brown your food), Food can burn quickly if water completely evaporates. When using smoker, be very careful when adding water to the hot smoker.

Tools Required for Assembly:

#2 Phillips or Standard Flat blade Screwdriver (Not Provided)

Small Adjustable Wrench (Not Provided)

7/16” Combination Wrench (Not Provided)

Setup Instructions

Using Wood Chips or Chunks

• Dried aromatic wood chips or chunks need to be saturated with

water, so that when placed in the water pan, a smoldering smoke will result. Wood chips or chunks can be soaked too long; however, 2 hours is adequate. As a rule of thumb, use wood chunks for smoking 3 or more hours and wood chips when smoking less than 3 hours. Start with 3 wood chunks or 1½ cups of wood chips.

Water

Wood Chips

Reservoir

or Chunks

Meats that require more than 4 hours of cooking time to reach doneness may require additional water. The initial amount of hot water added (4 quarts) should last 4-6 hours. After 4-6 hours, check water level and add more hot water as necessary.

Use a meat thermometer for measuring the internal heat of any food. The appearance of smoked foods resembles no other method of cooking, particularly in light colored meats such as pork, turkey, chicken and Cornish hens. The outside will be pinkish-red while the inside when cooked to perfection, is often pink. The juices from fully cooked poultry will run clear when pierced with a fork. Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Shrimp should be resilient to the touch when done. Remove foods from smoker before carving. To brown meats, cook for an additional ½ hour or more with no water in water pan.

Spray inside door and body with nonstick vegetable oil based spray. Place water pan onto brackets in the smoker drawer. Using a 4 quart (one gallon) container fill the water pan 2/3 full with hot tap water. Do not overfill the water pan.

Water or Juice?

Placing water alone in the water pan is adequate; however, it is not the only viable choice. Fruit juice, cola, beer, wine, drained marinades and even the water in which the wood has soaked make flavorful sources. In addition, celery stalks, onions, carrots, apples, peppercorns and bay leaves are just a few of the other popular flavor sources to add to the water pan.

Before each use, inspect the interior lid and body surface areas for loose particle buildup. Clean away any loose or flaking residue so it will not fall onto food while being cooked.

Before cooking, coat cooking grates with oil or with a vegetable oil based spray. Using oven mitts, carefully place cooking grates into smoker. Larger cuts of meat or food that cook for long periods of time should be placed on the lower cooking grate. If you are cooking foods with several pieces, such as racks of ribs or Cornish hens, be sure to allow adequate spacing for even heat circulation. Using oven mitts, carefully insert upper cooking grate into smoker.

Smaller food items require less cooking time and should be placed on the upper cooking grate. After filling the smoker, close the door and leave undisturbed until suggested minimum cooking time.

Performance of the smoker is dependent on ambient temperature and wind conditions. With temperature below 60°F and winds of 5 MPH or more, the smoker can lose a significant amount of heat and it may not be possible to raise internal temperature of meat high enough to cook it in a reasonable time.

Your smoker is designed with a drawer that is used to hold the water pan. This drawer will allow you to keep a check on the water level in the smoker without having to open the door. Opening the door during cooking will allow heat to escape and will significantly increase cooking time.

You may use your smoker without water in the water pan. However DO NOT use the smoker without the water pan properly installed. To do so will allow grease and drippings from the food being cooked to drop through the unit and onto the floor or surface on which the units sits.

Brush poultry and naturally lean meats with cooking oil, butter or margarine before cooking.

When cooking more than one piece of meat, the cooking time is determined by the largest piece being cooked.

The meat bastes itself during cooking. No basting or turning is necessary while cooking in the smoker. For variety, marinade of barbeque sauce may be applied before placing into the smoker.

Resist the temptation to open the door during cooking time. Opening the door will cause a loss of heat, which will result in longer cooking times.
