CLEANING THE BURNER TUBE AND BURNER PORTS
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must
clean the Burner Tube as follows at least once a month
in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in
your area, and if your smoker has not been used for
an extended period of time.
1. Turn the Burner Valve to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LP Gas tank valve to the full OFF position.
3. Detach the LP Gas regulator assembly from your
gas smoker.
4. Remove the Cooking Grids, Water Tray, Smoker
Drawers and Smoker Drawer Brackets from your
smoker.
5. Remove the screw from the rear of Burner
using a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift Burner up and away from the Gas
Valve Orifice.
7. Check and clean burner/venturi tube for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the smoker.
8. Refer to Figure 1 and perform one of these
three cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat
hanger into a small hook as shown and
run the hook through the Burner Tube and
inside the Burner several times to remove
debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a
flexible handle and run the brush through
the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air
through each Burner Tube. The forced air
should pass debris or obstructions through
the Burner and out the Ports.

Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you use,
we recommend you also complete the following steps to
help prolong Burner life.
1. Use a fiber pad or nylon brush to clean the entire
outer surface of Burner until free of food residue
and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as
an open paper clip.
3. Inspect Burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if
such damage is found, order and install a new
Burner. After installation, check to ensure that the
Gas Valve Orifice is correctly placed inside the
end of the Burner Tube. Also check the position
of your Spark Electrode.
WARNING
!
For safe operation ensure the Gas Valve
Assembly Orifice is inside the Burner Tube
before using your smoker. See figure. If the
Orifice is not inside the Burner Tube, lighting
the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire
resulting in serious bodliy injury and/or property
damage.
