CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Inspect the flames at the burner by looking through the observing hole on left side of the Burner and
control unit "H". A good flame should be blue with a yellow tip 1 to 2 in. high. If flames are excessively
yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may be collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the
burner surface with hot, soapy water and cleaning the holes with a pipe cleaner to improve the flames.

Bad flames may also be caused by poor venturi attachment to the orifice. Turn off the control knob
and cylinder valve, always let the smoker cool before cleaning or checking the assembly. Make sure
the orifice of the control valve properly mates with the burner mixing tube by visual observation from
the bottom of the appliance. The burner venturi tube should overlap the orifice and they should form
a straight line as shown in Figure A. Figures B & C show incorrect alignment.
