WARNINGS
WARNING
• Never use dented, rusty or damaged propane cylinders. Never store additional or empty propane cylinders
in the smoker cabinet or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Do not store propane cylinders indoors
or on their sides.
• Children should never be left alone or unattended in an area where a smoker is located. Place your smoker
well away from areas where children play. Do not store items that may interest children in or around the
smoker, in the cart, or in the masonry enclosure.
• Never move the smoker when hot. When in use, portions of the smoker are hot enough to cause severe
burns.
• Always maintain the required clearances from combustibles as detailed. The smoker is designed for outdoor
use only. Never use in a garage, building, shed, breezeway, or other enclosed area. Do not use this smoker
under any unprotected overhead combustible construction.
• Gas smokers are not designed or certified for and are not to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, portable trailers, boats or any other moving installation.
• Always have an ABC Fire Extinguisher accessible — never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or
other liquids.
• Storing your smoker: Store your smoker in a well-ventilated area. If stored indoors, detach and leave L.P.
cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from heat and away from where children may tamper with it.
• Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces. Electrical cords
should be placed away from walkways to avoid tripping hazard.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the smoker unless specifically recommended in this manual. Other service should be performed by a qualified technician.
• If the smoker is installed by a professional installer or technician, be sure that he/she shows you where your
gas supply shut-off is located. All gas lines must have a shut-off that is readily and easily accessible. If you
smell gas, check for gas leaks immediately. Check only with a soap and water solution. (See INDEX: “Leak
Testing” for further details.) Never check for gas leaks with an open flame.
• Inspect the L.P. gas supply hose prior to each use of the smoker. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or
wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the smoker.
• Never remove the grounding prong from the plug or use this product with an ungrounded, 2-prong adapter.
• Never block the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

BEFORE YOU START
IMPORTANT NOTES
WHERE’S THE WIND?
When selecting a suitable location, consider important
factors such as exposure to the wind and foot-traffic
patterns.
If you have a freestanding smoker, position it so the prevail-
ing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back
when smoking), supporting the proper front-to-rear airflow.
Built-in smokers located in areas with prevailing winds
should be protected by a wind barrier.
Winds hitting the back of the smoker directly may cause
problems, as well as wind blowing along the hood gap.
HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and
tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects smoker
performance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for
further details.)
ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?
Proper leveling during installation is critical. A smoker that
is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and
inefficient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level
should be used to level the smoker both front-to-back and
side-to-side.
If the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling
may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.
WARNING
• Never locate the smoker under a roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area.
• Never locate the smoker under unprotected combustible construction.
• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.
IF SHIPMENT ARRIVES DAMAGED
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on
freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person
making delivery.
FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of
extent of damage.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
If damage is unnoticed until the smoker is unpacked, notify
the transportation company or carrier immediately and file
a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be
done within (5) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be
sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot
assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.
(See INDEX: “Obtaining Service from Lynx” for further
details.)
Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
BEFORE YOU START ...continued
SMOKER TRAY CLEARANCE
The Lynx Built-In Smoker is designed for easy installation
into masonry enclosures.
NOTE: Lynx built-in smokers are intended either for
installation in a built-in enclosure constructed of
non-combustible materials or for an installation in a built in
enclosure constructed of combustible material when
clearance guidelines are followed.
For non-combustible applications, the smoker drops into
the opening shown in the cutout detail drawing (See INDEX:
“cut out dimensions”) and hangs from its counter-top trim.
A deck is not required to support it from the bottom.
(See INDEX: “Gas Requirements”) Pay special attention to
the provisions shown for gas line hook-up.
The enclosure should have ventilation holes to prevent gas
build-up in the event of a leak. The deck ledges and counter
should be flat and level. (refer to ANSI Z21.58 Standard for
Outdoor Cooking Gas Appliances, Section 1.7 Enclosures
For Self Contained LP-Gas Supply Systems)
This smoker requires that a 120 volt, 60 hertz, 15 amp GFI
certified outlet be installed by a qualified electrician.
On the right side 24” clearance is required to allow the
smoker chip tray to be removed.
24” Clearance
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Combustible materials may make direct contact with the
edges of the firebox body up to the top surface of the
firebox. Above the counter top a minimum clearance of 6”
to rear combustibles, and 5” on the left side of the smoker.
CLEARANCE TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
For non-combustible installations a 4” clearance is required
immediately behind the smoker to allow the front hood to
open. The smoker exhausts combustion products and
cooking greases to the back of the unit.
Never locate the smoker where this
residue will be difficult to clean.
Below the counter top surface the
non-combustibles should not encroach
on the cutout dimensions defined in this
manual for both fit, access to service and
airflow.
4” Min.
OVERHEAD PROTECTION AND EXHAUST REMOVAL
If installed under any combustible contruction the
cooking area over the smoker must be covered with an
exhaust hood. The hood must provide 3-6 inches of
overhang on all exposed sides. The exhaust hood shall
provide no less than 1,200 CFM for proper exhaust
ventilation. The hood must be approved for outdoor
installation and provided with a dedicated GFCI protected
branch circuit.
