Troubleshooting - Brinkmann CHARCOAL SMOKER CHARCOAL GRILL Owner's Manual

BEFORE STORING YOUR GRILL:
• Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
• Clean all surfaces.
• Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the grill indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
• Place a protective cap cover on the LP tank and store the tank outdoors in a well ventilated area out
of direct sunlight.
• Clean burner prior to use after storing, at the beginning of grilling season or after a period of one
month not being used. Spiders and insects like to build nests in burner tubes (especially during colder
months). These nests can cause fires in burner tubes or under grill.
• If storing the grill outdoors, cover the grill with a grill cover for protection from the weather.
