Manual Lighting Procedure; Refilling The Water Pan; Refilling The Wood Chip Tray; Shutting Off Your Smoker - Dansons Group Pit Boss 2 Series Assembly And Operation Manual

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE

1. Verify that the control knob is turned to the OFF position.
2. Connect LP gas cylinder as per instructions. Turn LP gas tank valve to OPEN.
3. Remove the wood chip tray from the smoker. Light a match and place it into the burn chamber (through the wood chip
entry). Do not attempt to light another area of the burner. This can cause injury.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your smoker.
4. Note the indicator marker on the control knob. Push in the regulator knob and turn 90 degrees (or 1/4) counter-clockwise
to HIGH.
5. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your smoker at your desired temperature!
NOTE: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control knob off, wait five minutes, then
repeat the process.

REFILLING THE WATER PAN

Check the water level periodically during your cooking session and add water if needed.
1. Wearing heat-resistant barbecue mitts, open the cabinet door.
2. Carefully refill the water pan with water or marinade until it is ¾ full. Close the cabinet door.
WARNING: Do not fill completely or overfill the water pan, as this could damage your igniter.

REFILLING THE WOOD CHIP TRAY

Check your wood chip tray periodically during your cooking session and add more wood chips, if needed.
1. Wearing heat-resistant barbecue mitts, remove the wood chip tray from the opening above the front panel of the unit.
2. Carefully open the lid, and refill the wood chip tray with new wood chips. Close the lid once full.
3. Replace the wood chip tray into the front panel of the smoker.
NOTE: Use hardwood wood chips that have been seasoned, such as pecan, hickory, oak, apple, cherry, alder,
mesquite or a competition blend. It is not necessary to soak the wood chips prior to smoking, as hardwoods
have natural moisture in the wood that will release as it heats up and combusts. Do not use resin woods
like pine or cedar in your smoker.

SHUTTING OFF YOUR SMOKER

1. When finished cooking, turn the temperature dial to 177°C / 350°F and close the cabinet door. Let your smoker run for 5 to
10 minutes to go through its normal cleaning method. If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the
smoker to burn-off for an extra 10 to 20 minutes. This will reduce the chance of causing a grease fire for the next start-up.
2. Once the burn-off is complete, keep the cabinet door closed and turn LP gas tank valve to the CLOSED position, and allow
the regulator knob to pop out. This safety feature locks the regulator knob to ensure that the gas is no longer flowing.
Turn the Control Knob to the OFF position. The wood chips will stop smoking.
NOTE: A "poof" sound is normal as the last of the LP gas is burned.
3. Disconnect LP gas tank by following the Disconnect LP Gas Tank instructions.
WARNING: Allow the smoker to cool completely, and remove the gas cylinder, before moving, travel, or for
storage.
