OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

After connections are made, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
1. With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dishwashing soap
and water) to all gas carrying connections and fittings.
2. Open tank valve.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell
or hear gas, shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part.
Do not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended to the maximum distance so that
the hose is straight and the tank is as far from the smoker as it can be (Minimum 24 in.).
For vapor withdrawal, LP tanks are intended to be operated in the upright position only.
If the product is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder and the cylinder should
be disconnected from the appliance.
Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed
from the appliance. Do not store cylinder indoors.
OPERATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present.
Before you cook food in your smoker, it is important to "season" your smoker. Seasoning seals the
paint and interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability and overall performance.
To season your smoker, simply use it as you normally would only do not cook any food. You will
need to follow all of the operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
Using your desired flavoring woods and marinades, burn your smoker at low temperature
(around 175°F/79°C) for 45 – 60 minutes. Let the smoker cool, and clean out the water and wood.
Once seasoning is complete, your smoker's interior will have a durable, seasoned coating.

Adding Water

To add water before cooking, simply remove the water bowl and fill it with water slightly below the rim.
Then place the bowl back into the smoker. Enough water before cooking is recommended.
To add water while cooking, if a sizzling sound indicating lack of water is heard, or really need to
add water, open the bottom door with care and avoid taking in the smoke, use a long nose kettle-
like water can, stand yourself as far from the smoker as you can, fill the water bowl up to 1 in.
below the rim.
CAUTION: DO NOT pull the water bowl out beyond the rack when the smoker is hot.
