Maintenance & Cleaning
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING
MAKE SURE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY
AND GAS IS TURNED OFF !
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
1. a: Remove ashes and coals from firebox after each cooking. Ashes should be placed in a
non-combustible container and placed away from all combustible material. Make sure
there are in obstructions in the burner tube. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN CLEANING
THE BURNER TUBE TO NOT DAMAGE THE ELECTRODES OR OTHER PARTS INSIDE
BURNER TUBE.
b: Creosote-Formation and Need for Removable 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 slowburning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignored,
this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney connector and chimney should
be inspected at least twice monthly to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated. It should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
2. Grease should be drained from the unit DAILY. Please dispose of grease in an approved
disposal container.Caution: Grease may be Hot !
3. Remove and clean cooking racks. To remove racks lift up on the right side of rack and
slide as far left as possible. Pull rack forward till it is free of pivot arm. Lift off left side of
rack and remove from unit.
4. Thoroughly clean complete interior and racks with a food service non-flammable
degreaser. Rinse with water and drain through drain valve on unit. Dispose of waste
properly. Make sure the drain is closed after cleaning.
5. Bi-weekly greasing of the bearings is necessary for proper operation of the unit.
Rotisserie shaft bearings are easily accessible and can be greased with a hand grease
gun.
6. Remove service access panels and inspect burner for accumulation of creosote or ashes.
Clean if needed. Check sprocket for broken or worn teeth. Check alignment of sprockets.
Replace service access panels when complete.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the Smoke Evacuator System is to remove smoke from the front-loading
area of the unit once the doors are opened and prevent excess smoke from escaping
into the kitchen or food processing area. This enables the operator to work
unobstructed by interference from escaping smoke and heat. The smoke will be drawn
from the inside of the unit as opposed to an externally mounted hood system.
OPERATION
The procedure for operating the Smoke Evacuator System is quite simple. First,
activate the smoke evacuator by pressing in on the Black “ON” button and continue to
hold for 5 seconds. Second, while holding the Black “ON” button in for 5 seconds, grasp
door handle to cooking chamber. After the initial 5 seconds, slowly open the cooking
chamber door; operator may now release push button. The smoke evacuator will
remain on while the cooking chamber door is open. The smoke evacuator will
automatically turn off when the operator closes the door to the cooking chamber and
the unit will return to normal operating.
SMOKE EVACUATOR
(Push Button)
(Optional Equipment)
COMPONENTS
The Evacuator System is made up of four (4) basic components: (1) the switch, (2) the
Evacuator (power damper), (3) the 10” diameter duct and (4) the ventilator fan. Items
(1) and (2) are sold by Ole Hickory Pits as optional equipment. Items (3) and (4) are
purchased by you and are of your installation responsibility. ADEQUATE MAKEUP
AIR IS REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. Consult manual for more information.
It is your responsibility to maintain essential combustion air at all times during
operation of the unit.
INSTALLATION
Attach the 10” diameter duct to the 10” diameter duct collar located on the top of the

Cook & Hold Feature
(Optional Feature)
The purpose of the Cook & Hold feature is to allow the operator to set the
cooking time so that when the programmed time has elapsed, the unit will hold at
147 degrees until the operator turns the switch off and removes the meat.
To operate this feature, make sure all the switches for the MAIN, BURNER,
RACK and FAN are turned on. Set the unit primary thermostat to the desired
cooking temperature. Set the timer on the Cook & Hold control to the number of
hours you want the smoker to cook. (Hours from 0 to 30 hrs.)
Turn on the cook and hold switch. The Green “POWER” light will flash and the Red
“OUT” light will be on. This means the unit is operating off the Cook & Hold
thermostat mode.
When the preset time has elapsed, the Green “POWER” light will stay on, but
it will stop flashing. The Red “OUT” light will go off. This puts the unit into Hold
cycle, which is preset at the factory to 150 degrees. (Since this is on a separate
thermostat, you can adjust the hold temperature.) The unit will continue to hold
this temperature unit the Cook and Hold switch is turned off.
Please note that if the Cook & Hold switch is turned off, the unit will operate in the
Normal cook mode.
To Hold & Cook, set the units primary thermostat to the hold temperature.
Adjust the separate Cook & Hold thermostat to the desired cooking temperature.
Set the timer for the number of hours you want to elapse before you want the meat
to start cooking. When the timer reaches the number of hours set, the unit will
begin to cook at the temperature set on the Cook & Hold thermostat. Please note
that the unit will continue to cook at this setting until the Cook and Hold Switch is
turned off.
