• If you smell, hear or see gas escaping, immediately get away from gas cylinder and call the Fire Department.
Fire may cause death or serious injury.
• Reference ignition steps before use.
• Never use lighter fl uid with propane.
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke fl avor.
• Flame disk bowl/ wood chip tray/bowl is HOT when unit is in use. Use caution when adding wood.
• Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to be
emptied periodically during cooking.
• Do not open upper smoker door(s) unless necessary. Opening smoker door(s) causes heat to escape, which
may cause extended cooking time and may cause wood to fl are up. Closing the door(s) will re-stabilize the
temperature and stop fl are up.
• This is a smoker. There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through
seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door(s), door
latch(s) can be adjusted to further tighten door seal against body.
• To adjust door handle/latch, loosen the two screws that mount the door hook to the smoker body. Slide the
door hook forward or rearward as needed to achieve the desired door seal. Then retighten the two door hook
screws. Be sure not to set the door handle/latch too tight as it could cause damage to the unit and make it
diffi cult to operate. The door should be adjusted so that it closes completely.
• When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m), additional
cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a meat thermometer to test
internal temperature.
• Do not use wood pellets.
• Food needs to be in the center of smoking racks. This allows food drippings to go into the water bowl.
• Do not leave old wood or ashes in the fl ame disk bowl/woodchip tray/bowl. Once ashes are cold, empty
bowl/tray. Bowl/tray should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash and residue buildup.
• Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a noncombustible container.
• Do not store unit with HOT ashes inside unit.

SMOKER OPERATION - READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
GETTING ST ARTED
• Pre-season unit prior to fi rst use. See PRE-SEASON INSTRUCTIONS.
• Before starting the unit, see ADDING WOOD CHIPS.
• This smoker is equipped with door stops that will hold the door open during loading and unloading of food.
• Food amount or volume and ambient temperature may aff ect smoker temperature. Make adjustments as necessary to achieve desired
smoking temperature.
CAUTION - All surfaces are HOT and may cause burns. Use protective gloves or long, sturdy cooking tools when loading/
unloading food or racks, and when adding wood chips or water.
PRE-SEASON INSTRUCTIONS
Curing your smoker will rid the unit of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process allowing them to burn off .
PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
1. Perform soapy water test, see SOAPY WATER TEST WARNINGS AND PROCEDURES.
2. Using a napkin or cloth, rub a light coat of cooking oil on smoking racks and inside smoker door. Make sure water pan is in place with
NO WATER.
3. Fill wood chip tray with up to 1 cup (0.24l) of wood chips and light smoker. Close door.
4. Start smoker, set to 350°F (177°C) and let the smoker burn for about 1 hour.
5. Allow unit to cool COMPLETELY.
6. Reapply light coat of cooking oil on smoking racks and inside of smoker door.
7. Restart smoker and burn for 20 minutes.
• Cure your smoker periodically to prevent excessive rust.
ADDING WOOD CHIPS
1. You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips presoaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense smoke.
2. Before starting unit, place up to 1 cup (0.24l) of wood chips in wood chip tray.
3. DO NOT ADD MORE THAN 1 CUP (0.24l) OF WOOD CHIPS AT A TIME. Never use wood chunks or wood pellets.
4. Place additional wood chips in smoker as needed to achieve desired smoke fl avor.
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke fl avor.
OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS
1. To start smoker see IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS.
2. With protective gloves on, place water bowl in position. Pour 1 inch of water, juice, or vinegar into water bowl. This will add fl avor and
moisture to food and prevent it from drying out.
3 DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
4. Pre-heat smoker to desired temperature for approximately 20 minutes.
5. Place food in the smoker, position on the center of the smoking rack.
6 DO NOT overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and cause uneven cooking. Leave
space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack
to ensure even cooking.
7. For best results, rotate racks between the top and bottom positions during cooking.
8. Adjust smoker settings, control knob and air damper, to desired cooking temperature.
• Close air damper on unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fi sh or jerky, open air damper to release moisture.
9. If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, open bottom door slightly for approximately 2 minutes. This will allow the cabinet
temperature to fall which will cause the burner to adjust to a larger fl ame and will begin the smoking process.
10. Use caution when cooking on windy days to ensure the fl ame does not blow out. If you suspect or experience a fl ame blow out, fi rst
open the door to check the fl ame and follow the IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS to re-ignite the burner if needed. Adjust the smoker control
knob setting for a higher fl ame to prevent further blow outs.
Never ignite smoker with the door closed.
11. Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
12. Once cooking is complete turn unit OFF, see IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS for turning off unit, remove the gas cylinder and then follow
CLEANING and STORING INSTRUCTIONS. CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold
and mildew.
OPERATING TIP - When changing the temperature from a higher temperature setting to a lower temperature setting allow the
unit to stabilize between temperature changes for 5 minutes before opening and closing the door(s). During this transition period
the fl ame is vulnerable to potential blow outs, under certain conditions, because the pressure inside the burner is reduced while
the temperature sensor is adjusting to the lower temperature. For example, changing from 275
CLEANING and STORING INSTRUCTIONS
• ALWAYS MAKE SURE UNIT IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.
• Be sure to clean smoker after each use. Make sure the gas cylinder has been turned off and removed.
• For rack supports, racks, water bowl, and drip pan use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• For woodchip tray clean frequently to remove ash build up, residue and dust.
• Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container.
• For the interior, exterior and door seal of the unit simply wipe down with a damp cloth after each use to keep unit in proper working
condition. Do not use a cleaning agent. Make sure to dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, store smoker in a covered and DRY AREA.
• Store only when fi re is completely out and all surfaces are cold.
• When not in frequent use and using a cover, remember to check your smoker periodically to avoid possible rust and corrosion due to
moisture buildup.

FAQ
• Was the temperature setting of the unit adjusted from a higher setting to a lower setting? For example, was the unit at 275 and changed to 225?
If yes, was the unit allowed to stabilize for 5 minutes at the new temperature setting before opening/closing the door(s)? If no, allow the unit to stabilize between set point changes for 5 minutes before opening
and closing the door(s). During this transition period the fl ame is vulnurable to potential blow outs, under certain conditions, because the pressure inside the burner is reduced while the temperature sensor is
adjusting to the lower set point.
• Is the vent open?
If no, open the vent to allow more heat to exit the unit. This will cause the unit to require more heat input to maintain its set point which will cause the unit to increase the fl ame height creating a stronger fl ame.
• Is the water bowl fi lled?
If no, fi ll the water bowl. This will cause the unit to require more heat input to maintain its set point which will cause the unit to increase the fl ame height creating a stronger fl ame.
• Is outside wind greater than 5mph?
If yes, and all the above solutions did not improve the performance, raise the set point of the unit in order to cook in those conditions.
