AFTER USE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING
• Use caution when lifting and moving the smoker to avoid strain injuries.
Two people are recommended to lift or move the smoker.
• DO NOT store the smoker near gasoline or other combustible liquids or where combustible vapors
may be present. Keep the area around the smoker clear and free of combustible materials and vapors.
• DO NOT store this smoker in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the smoker in a dry,
protected location. Disconnect cylinder from smoker.
• DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the smoker following use until it has cooled.
It is hot during operation and remains hot for a period of time following use.
• DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the smoker cools completely.
• The smoker becomes extremely hot – allow the smoker to cool completely before handling. If you
must handle the smoker while it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves.
Allow the smoker to cool before removing and cleaning the grease pan.
• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy-duty aluminum foil and putting them in a
noncombustible container.
• If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool. Remove the
ashes from the smoker, keeping them in heavy-duty foil, and soak them completely with water
before disposing of them in a noncombustible container.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed while the smoker is turned
off and cooled. Always perform maintenance by a qualified service person.
Clean the water bowl and cooking grate with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may
prefer to coat the water bowl and cooking grid lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
Frequently check and clean the venturi and burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube
can lead to fire beneath the smoker. Also make sure the smoker does not have any foreign objects
obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet, simply use a damp cloth. Spray-washing with
a water hose is not recommended. Moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or
on top of the smoker. Once cleaned, you may prefer to lightly coat the interior of the smoker cabinet
with cooking oil or cooking spray.
If rust is present on the exterior surface of the smoker, clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth
and use heavy-duty, heat-resistant paint.
NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the smoker. If rust is present on the interior of the
smoker, clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with cooking oil
or cooking spray to help minimize recurring rust.
When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging
the regulator connector, hang the end of the hose and regulator assembly on the lifting handle (A).
Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
