Smoker Placement

Yoder smokers/grills should always be a minimum of 12 inches away from any combustible surface (wall,
deck, rail, etc.). A heat-protective pad is recommended if the smoker is on a wooden deck. See FIG 5.

Leveling the Smoker

The smoker must be level, front to back and side to side. Place a level centered on the main cooking
chamber door or cooking grates to help with this. If the smoker is not level there could be problems with
the grease running towards the burn pot which could result in a grease fi re.
