 WARNINGS

 This smoker is designed for outdoor use only. If used indoors,

 Do not add charcoal lighter fluid or charcoal impregnated with

charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals. Cap starter fluid after use, and place a safe distance away from the barbecue.

 Do not use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile ﬂ uids to

ignite charcoal. If using charcoal lighter ﬂ uid, remove any ﬂ uid that may have drained through the bottom vents, before lighting the charcoal.

 Do not leave infants, children, or pets unattended near a hot

smoker.

 Do not attempt to move a hot smoker.

 Do not use this smoker within ﬁ ve feet of any combustible

material.

 Do not use this smoker unless all parts are in place.

 Do not remove ashes until all coals are completely burned out

and are fully extinguished.

 Do not wear clothing with loose ﬂ owing sleeves while lighting or

using the smoker.

 Do not use smoker in high winds.

 Keep the smoker in a level position at all times.

 Combustion by-products produced when using this product

contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

 Remove the lid from the smoker while lighting and getting the

coals started.

 Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal grate and not

directly into the bottom of the bowl.

 Never touch the cooking or charcoal grate, or the smoker,

to see if they are hot.

 Barbecue mitts or hot pads should always be used to

protect hands while barbecuing or adjusting the vents.

 Use proper barbecue tools with long, heat-resistant handles.

 To extinguish the coals, place the lid on the bowl and close all

vents. Do not use water, it will damage the porcelain finish.

 To control flare-ups, place lid on smoker. Do not use water.

 Handle and store hot electric starters carefully.

 Keep electrical cords away from the hot surfaces of the smoker.

Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will obstruct the air flow, instead use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat when cooking by the Indirect Method.

will damage the finish.

 Using abrasive cleaners on the cooking grate or the smoker

itself will damage the finish.
