LP GAS (continued)
8. Before each use, inspect the gas hose. If excessive abrasion, wear or if the hose is cut it must be replaced
prior to the smoker being put into operation.
9. LEAK TESTING: Do not use a flame to check for a gas leak. To prevent fire or explosion hazard, DO
NOT smoke or allow any potential source of ignition (sparks, electrical arcing, etc.) in the area while per-
forming a leak test. Leak tests should be conducted outdoors only.
a. Create a soapy solution of 1 part soap and 1 part water, or use a gas leak detector solution available
for purchase from a plumbing supply or hardware store. Confirm that all control knobs are in the off
position.
b. Open the gas supply valves and apply the soap solution generously by paint brush or squirt bottle on
all connections and fittings. If bubbles appear to "grow" on any of the connections, you have a gas
leak, immediately turn off the gas supply.
10. Fixing a gas leak: Wash off the soapy solution with cold water and dry. Tighten the loose joint, or replace
the faulty part with manufacturer-recommended replacement parts.
11. Do not attempt to repair the LP cylinder valve if it is damaged. The only way to safely resolve a damaged
cylinder is to replace it.
12. Repeat the leak test to ensure that no leaks are present.
13. Do not operate the smoker if there is a gas leak present.
14. Leaking gas may cause a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death.
15. When not in use, the gas valve on the LP tanks must be turned off and the supply line disconnected from
the tanks. The protective dust cap must be installed on the valve outlet.
16. Liquid propane is not natural gas. The conversion to or attempted use of natural gas in a liquid propane
smoker is dangerous and will void your warranty.
17. Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your smoker is in operation.
18. Although your liquid propane cylinder may appear to be empty, gas may still be present. The cylinder
should be transported and stored with the valve closed.
