WARNING: Pit fires can occur when liquids are spilled or when cook- ing at temperatures that cause surfaces inside the cooker to reach the ignition temperature of fats. Never pour or toss water directly into a fat fire. Reduce the temperature by cooling the fire in the firebox with a water spray. Close the cooking chamber door and the firebox while it is steaming to smother the fire.

8. PAIRING OTHER DEVICES TO THE CYBERQ CLOUD IN HOT-SPOT MODE The most basic way to use the CyberQ Cloud’s features is by directly pairing it with one or more Wi-Fi devices in hot-spot mode. While this method doesn’t enable all the CyberQ Cloud’s features, direct connection can be useful. If you are at a competition where there is no Wi-Fi or AC power, or if you are tailgating or camping, for example, taking control with a portable device is handy.
