Care and Maintenance

CARE AND MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE EACH USE:
CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed only while the smoker
is turned off and cooled.
• Clean the water pans and cooking grids with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You
may prefer to coat the water pans and cooking grids lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
• Frequently check and clean the venturi and burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged
tube can lead to fire outside 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. All moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to
stand inside or on top of the smoker.
-NEVER APPLY ADDITIONAL PAINT TO THE INTERIOR OF THE SMOKER-
• When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from
clogging the regulator, hang the end of the regulator hose from the side handle using the
supplied S-hook.
• During each use, inspect the flames at the
burner. A good flame should be blue with a
yellow tip about 1 inch in length. If flames are
excessively yellow and irregular, oil residue
and food deposits may be collecting on the
burner. Try cleaning the burner surface and the
holes to improve the flames. Bad Flames may
also be caused by poor regulator-to-venturi
attachment. Always let the smoker cool before
cleaning or checking the assembly.
• To protect your smoker from the weather, always keep your smoker covered while not in use.
• Keep the area clear of all flammable liquids and combustible materials including wood, dry
plants, grass, brush, paper and canvas.
• The smoker may be stored indoors only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed.
• IMPORTANT: If you need to replace or reinstall the burner, make sure the valve tip is
completely inside the hole on the end of the burner.
