WARNINGS!

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. J&R offers ash
carts suitable for this purpose. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.

Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal –

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense
in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at
least twice monthly

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Your unit will be shipped fully assembled. It can be handled with a

4000 pound capacity forklift. Uncrate and inspect for concealed
shipping damage. Install the casters (packed inside the unit).

2. Move unit into position.

3. Vent according to venting instructions on the following pages.

4. Clearances: (in inches) From Any Combustibles:

Above Top From Front From Back From Sides From Chimney
Of Casing Connector

12 48 6 1 18

Floor: Unit to be installed on a non-combustible floor

5. Electrical
a. Units without an electrical heater element. The electrical
requirement is 115 volts, single phase, 13A. Have your electrician
directly wire the unit, making field connections inside the junction box
provided. There should be a “designated circuit” for safe servicing of
these units.

b. Unit equipped with an electric heating element. The electrical
requirement is different. It will require either 208 volt or 230-volt single­phase service (the heater element has decreased wattage at the lower
voltage). Directly wire the unit, making the field connections inside the
junction box provided. Supply circuit requires three conductors plus
ground (L1, L2, N, G). A two pole, 30-amp breaker is required. Turn the
circuit breaker off and tag it whenever servicing as this is the only way
to completely de-energize all components of the machine.

Venting Requirements

Page 3 of 47

Our barbecue ovens are listed under multiple standards, including U.L. 737 (Fireplace
Stoves), U.L. 2162 (Commercial Wood-Fired Baking Ovens), and U.L. 391 (Solid-Fuel
and Combination-Fuel Central and Supplementary Furnaces. These listing provide two
alternatives for exhausting our units: direct venting and exhaust hood venting.

In all cases, it is imperative to obtain the approval of the AHJ (Authority Having
Jurisdiction). This will typically be the mechanical inspection department of the
local municipality’s building inspection division and/or the local fire marshal.

Option One: Direct Venting

Our listings under U.L. 737 and U.L. 391 permit direct venting and the
ventilation standard cited in each is NFPA 211 (Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances). All of our enclosed
ovens are designed to be vented via a smokestack (chimney) with natural draft.
All models incorporate smoke-control (bypass) mechanisms to contain smoke
spillage when the oven doors or firebox doors are opened.

In all cases in which combustible construction is present, a factory-built Type
HT chimney is required (refer to NFPA 211 6.3.1.2 and U.L. 103). Examples of
such chimneys would be Selkirk “Ultra-Temp” and DuraVent “DuraTech”.

If no combustible construction is present (examples: exterior installations or
installations in which the oven is faced into a non-combustible exterior wall
and the chimney is either uncovered or covered with a non-combustible
weather covering), then a single wall metal chimney (Figure 5B) is acceptable
if approved by the AHJ.

Combustion Air

Make sure adequate combustion air is available. Excerpt from NFPA 211 12.3:

“Solid-fuel burning devices shall be installed in a location and manner so as to
provide ventilation and combustion air supply to allow proper combustion of

fuel, chimney draft, and maintenance of safe temperatures… where buildings

are so tight that normal infiltration does not provide the necessary air, outside
air shall be introduced.”

Page 4 of 47

Option Two: Exhaust Hood Venting

U.L. 2162 cites NFPA 96 (Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection
for Commercial Cooking Operations) as its ventilation standard. While NFPA
96 allows direct ventilation with factory-built grease ducts or properly
constructed welded ducts (with fire-rated enclosures), it also permits the
exhaust hood ventilation option for our units.

3. “COOK” OPERATION.
a. Set the Selector switch in the “Cook” position and set the thermostat

to the desired cooking temperature. If the unit is equipped with an
electric heating element turn HTR ELEM on as desired.

a. Set the timer to the desired cooking time (see detailed

instructions about timer).
b. Turn the Selector switch to the “Cook and Hold” position.
c. After the cooking time has elapsed, temperature control

switches to an internal, preset, “hold” thermostat until

the Selector switch is changed. The “hold” temperature

is approximately 145 degrees. NOTE: The timer dial

does not move as it counts down. When the timer

indicator light is flashing, it is counting down. When this

light stops flashing, it has completed its countdown.

b. Evacuate – turn the thermostat all the way down, turn the EVAC

switch on and wait at least 60 seconds before opening doors.
Remember to turn off EVAC switch and reset thermostat to resume
normal cooking.

Always

EVAC & Wait before opening doors.

4.

INSPECTION OF MEAT.

5.

a. It is best

not to open the doors interrupting the cooking process any
more often than necessary. However, during the “get acquainted”
process of learning your pit, you will probably inspect the meat more
often. Remember you lose heat and moisture each time the door is
opened.

6. INSPECTION OF FIREBOX DURING COOKING

(using the following procedure will minimize the smoke that can billow
out of the fire box when opening the firebox door to check the condition
of the fire or to add new logs to the existing fire).

a) Turn the thermostat UP, above set point. Do this always.
b) Wait approx. 2 mins before opening firebox door. Do this always.

(allows time for the
combustion air system to activate, regenerating the fire; this reduces the
potential for smoke spillage and/or flash-backs, as the hot fuel seeks
fresh oxygen).

c) Open the firebox door slowly. To avoid gasket damage, make sure the door

is open fully.

d) Add wood as required. Remove any embers that may have rolled out on to

door frame bottom lip to avoid gasket damage.

e) Close the door, return the thermostat to the cooking

temperature (set point).

b. Weekly or Bi-Weekly.

1. Remove oven racks and apply oven cleaner to the interior
surfaces of the unit and wipe off. Be sure that all the oven
cleaner has been removed with clear water after cleaning.

2. We recommend that foil or plastic be placed on the floor in front
of pit when cleaning oven door and firebox door.

3. Clean the build-up on inside of firebox door.

4. Be very careful not to damage the electrical element in the top of

the pit (if your pit is equipped with this option).

c. Monthly:

Remove the convection fan cowling from the ceiling of the oven
and thoroughly clean ceiling, cowling, and fan impeller.
CAUTION: Turn off and tag breaker to prevent the convection
fan or elements from being energized.

d. Annually:

Remove all rear inspection panels and clean the rear damper
areas and stack plenum. Inspect and clean smokestack as
required. Remove all interior baffles (at inside rear of oven) and
clean.

a. This pit is equipped with a safety thermostat control that will close

dampers, deactivate fans, etc. if the interior oven temperature
reaches 450 degrees.

10. HIGH TEMPERATURE PROTECTION.

b. If the pit stops (lights go off, etc.) and the front door feels excessively

hot to the touch, DO NOT OPEN THE PIT as there may be a grease
fire inside. The pit will automatically resume operation when it cools
down. Open the doors after it cools down.

11. TROUBLESHOOTING.

Refer first to the Service Manual and then call our Service
Department at (972)-289-0801 if further assistance is required.

Page 11 of 43

f. A DIRTY PIT IS A HAZARD. DRY WOOD CAN BE A

HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IF TOO MUCH IS USED (IT BURNS TOO
RAPIDLY TO CONTROL PROPERLY). NEVER OPEN A PIT DOOR
UNTIL IT HAS BEEN SWITCHED TO EVAC FOR AT LEAST 60
SECONDS. FLASHBACKS CAN OCCUR OTHERWISE. THE USE
OF DRY WOOD CAN BUILD UP VOLATILE GASES IN THE PIT AND
CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE SUDDEN PRESSURE INCREASES, WHICH
CAN FORCE MEAT DOORS OR FIREBOX DOORS OPEN.

e.

Refer to Cleaning (above) and DO IT!

d. Always disconnect the pit electrically before servicing

or
cleaning.

c. Never allow exterior of pit near the top or the top itself to get

wet. This will void all warranties and could severely damage
the pit.

b. Keep grease drained.

a. Keep pit clean.

12. C

OOKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURE.

a. The Barbecue Recipe Book gives times and temperatures for non-

convection ovens.

b. This unit is a Convection Oven and consequently cooks faster than

ordinary ovens.

c. We recommend that you cook as follows:

PRODUCT TEMPERATURE TIME

1. Spareribs 250° 1 ½ hours

2. Loin (Baby-back) Ribs 250° 1 hour

3. Chicken Halves 250° 1 ½ hours

4. Beef Brisket 185° 11 hours

5. Prime Rib 250° 4 hours

CAUTIONS.

Door Gaskets

The firebox door gasket and the oven door gasket should be smoke-tight.
To stop smoke leaks, you may need to shim the hinge side, the latch side, or
both. You may also need to “thicken” the gasketing by using additional
(allow 4 hours to cure before closing the door) RTV silicone between the
gasket and the body of the unit. Paper check the gasket seal by placing a
long strip of paper between the gasket and the unit body so that the paper
extends outside the door. Close and latch the door. Pull the paper toward
you. It should be very resistant to your effort. If it seems loose, further
adjust the door or the gasket thickness.

Page 12 of 43

Inspect the interior of the firebox. Repair as required any damaged
refractory.

Inspect and lubricate as needed the damper linkages.

Inspect and lubricate the combustion air linkages. Clean the combustion
air damper (14), and the combustion air inlet elbow (13B). Inspect the
combustion air damper gasket (13C).

Remove the roof cover. Clean carbon from top components. Remove the
cover (20A) over the fresh air damper (20). Inspect, clean and repair/replace
as needed the fresh air inlet damper (20) and gasket.

Inside the oven, remove the convection cowling (25) by removing the two
“T” bolts (25A) and lifting the cowling off the rear clips. Then remove the
EVAC outlet baffles (28), the oven heat outlet baffle (29), and the oven heat
inlet baffle (30). Inspect and clean all areas behind these parts. Reinstall
the parts.

Remove the rear upper exterior skin panel. Remove the bolts that secure
the hinged access cover (22) over the rear dampers and open the cover. For
older models remove the rear EVAC and Flue access plate and the rear
firebox damper access plate. Clean all the exposed cavities. Inspect and
clean, as needed, the flue beneath the firebox bypass damper (19). To
inspect this flue the damper will have to be in the open position. Either turn
the unit to the EVAC setting or disconnect the firebox damper linkage and
reconnect after inspection. Inspect and repair/replace as needed the
damper gaskets associated with the EVAC dampers (17), the flue damper
(18), and the firebox damper.

ANNUALLY:

The interior fan cowling area should be cleaned. Remove the convection
cowling (25), clean, and reinstall. Clean the convection fan impeller (26) at
the same time.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE – CLEANING

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

USING YOUR “COOK & HOLD” FEATURE

Page 13 of 47

I. The Cook & Hold timer will reset the oven temperature to 145 degrees F at

the end of the time set on timer. However, it will take about 2 hours for
the oven to cool down from 250 degrees to 145 degrees. So, cut about 2
hours off the time you want it to cook.

II. Make sure your timer is set correctly for your purposes. It is set properly

at the factory. See the detailed instructions in this manual for the timers.

III. Procedures to follow:

1. Load oven with meat.

2. Set thermostat at desired cooking temp.

3. Stoke firebox.

4. Set hours to cook on timer (remember to reduce the cooking time

setting due to the long cool down time of the oven). It will gradually
cool from your thermostat setting to the preset 145° F hold setting.
Use trial and error to arrive at optimum timer settings.

5. T

urn control from “COOK” to “COOK & HOLD”

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In addition to the maintenance procedures
described elsewhere in this manual, the electric heating elements
and the convection fan impeller should be inspected regularly, daily
if possible, and cleaned if necessary. If there is a heavy build up of
soot or creosote, these surfaces should be cleaned with a stiff brush.
This is especially important if the heater elements are not frequently
employed. Heavy buildup on the elements can create a fire hazard.

Newer units with Idec "RTE" Timers:

Green "PWR" light will remain on, red "Out" light will illuminate when timer has timed out. For these

timers the factory settings are mode: A, scale: 0-10, range: h.

Older units with Omron Timers:

Red light will illuminate, and green light will begin flashing, then the red and green lights will remain

illuminated (steady, not flashing) when the timer times out. For these timers the factory settings are

mode: A, time range: 12, time units: hours.
