Benedini Oilsmoke II Building Instruction

Building instruction for Benedini Oilsmoke II
Building this smoker needs mechanical and solder skills!
Construction steps:
1. Cut the drilling jig out of the last page of this manual and
tape it on top of the smoke box (lid).
LARGE
If the smoker housing is used, the jig can be placed
in the center of the lid. Pictures below show the small box as
an example.
2. Mark ALL wholes through the paper by a needle or centre
punch.
3. Drill all holes you need.
NEVER
use a normal spiral drill for the large smoke outlet holes !!!
→ High danger of getting injured during drilling
Use a "hole cutter" as shown in the picture on the right →
Always use a parallel vice during drilling.
Never hold the housing by hand during drilling.
4. Mount solder lugs by the M3 x 6mm screws + nuts + top & bottom isolation
This is the most critical part. The screws must be electrically isolated to the lid.
Plug the black plastic nipples from inside the lid into the solder lug holes.
Lay the lug on it and put the screw through.
Turn the lid put the brown isolation washer on the screw, put the outside solder lug on the screw and
fix all by applying the nut.
A conductance check by measuring the resistance between screws and lid by a multimeter is highly
recommended. → All must look like the pictures below show !
A bench drill is highly recommended!
