Proper Care And Maintenance; After-Use Safety - Brinkmann SMOKE’N GRILL Owners Manual Assembly And Operation Instructions

• Always allow smoker and all components to cool completely before handling.
• Never leave coals and ashes in smoker unattended.
• Before grill can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from smoker. Use caution to protect
yourself and property. Place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container or leave in charcoal pan and
completely saturate with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
• With a garden hose, completely wet surface beneath and around the smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers
which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
• Cover and store smoker in a protected area, out of reach of children.
• Wash cooking grills, water and charcoal pans with hot, soapy water,
rinse well and dry. Lightly coat cooking grills with vegetable oil or
vegetable cooking spray.
• Clean inside and outside of smoker by wiping off with a damp cloth.
After cleaning, apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable cooking
spray to the interior surface of the dome lid, smoker body, cooking
grills and water pan. This simple process will help reduce interior
rusting. DO NOT apply oil to the charcoal pan.
NOTE: Smoke will accumulate and leave a black residue in the
dome lid of your smoker that may drip onto food during
cooking. To minimize accumulation of residue, wipe off
dome lid after each use.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your smoker, clean and buff
the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up
with a good high-temperature resistant paint.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior
surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or
vegetable cooking spray to minimize rusting.
• To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must be
properly cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A smoker cover may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by
calling 1-800-468-5252.
