SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY WARNINGS – READ CAREFULLY
Before assembling or using your new TEXAS SMOKER -- carefully read this instruction
manual and all safety warnings!
This symbol “!” indicates a safety warning – pay special attention to the information
following this warning when assembling or using your TEXAS SMOKER.
Failure to follow safety warnings could result in bodily injury or property damage.
ASSEMBLY
¾Use caution during assembly and operation. Use caution when reaching into or under
this unit.
¾Properly dispose of packaging materials.
¾When moving or lifting, use caution to avoid back strains or injuries.
PLACEMENT
¾FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Do not use TEXAS SMOKER indoors or in an enclosed or
non-ventilated area.
¾Never use on a wooden surface or other flammable surfaces. Use only on a hard, stable
surface that can support the unit’s weight.
¾Keep at least 3 meters of clearance between the unit and any combustible materials
when it is in use (including, but not limited to bushes, shrubs, trees, leaves, grass,
wooden decks or fences, buildings, etc.).
¾Keep unit away from gasoline and/or other flammable liquids, flammable gases,
flammable vapours, or areas where these may be present. Do not store or use the unit
in these areas.
¾In windy conditions, place unit in an outdoor area that is sheltered from wind.
¾Do not try to move or reposition the unit while it is in use.
¾Keep the unit out of reach of children or the infirm when in use.
¾Do not place goods over 6 kg on the front shelf.
LIGHTING A FIRE
¾NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, lighter fluid or alcohol to light charcoal. Using any of
these products (or similar flammable products) could cause a flare up, flash fire, or
explosion. Severe bodily injury could result. We recommend using only solid
firelighters.
¾Do not add instant light charcoal briquettes or firelighters to an existing fire. A flash fire
may result in bodily injury or property damage.
¾Do not light this unit without the ash pan in place.


USAGE AND OPERATION
¾It is strongly recommended to pre burn your grill prior to your first use. By lighting a
SMALL charcoal fire to simulate the cooking process, you will burn off any residues or
oils created during the manufacturing process. This will also cure and harden the high
temperature finish. This is a once only process.
¾The TEXAS SMOKER gets VERY hot when in use – do not touch hot surfaces. Always
wear insulated mitts when the unit is hot.
¾Do not wear loose clothing when using this unit.
¾Do not allow hair to come in contact with this unit
¾When unit is hot, never leave it unattended
¾Do not operate this unit grill without the ash pan properly in place.
¾Use caution when opening the hood – push back to its fully opened position. If the hood
is left partially open, it may drop suddenly, causing bodily injury. The hood’s handle may
be hot – use insulated mitts.
¾Do not lean on or place more than 6 kg on the front shelf.
¾Keep a fire extinguisher on hand in the event the fire gets out of control.
¾When fresh air comes in contact with flame, a flare up can result. Use caution when
opening hood. Maintain a safe distance from hot steam and flames.
¾Close the hood and all butterfly dampers to extinguish flames.
¾To prolong surface finish and metal life, do not exceed a grill temperature of 200 °C
(400°F) and do not let burning charcoal or wood come in contact with the walls of the
grill (keep burning fuel approximately 50mm away from ash pan edge).
ASH DISPOSAL AND CLEAN UP
¾Do not leave hot grill or hot coals and ashes unattended.
¾Do not remove or empty ash pan until all coals and ashes have completely cooled.
¾Using insulated mitts – after coals and ashes have completely cooled – remove ash pan
and empty ashes into a metal container. Douse with water before disposal. Keep
container a safe distance from combustible materials.
¾Wet the surfaces beneath and around the grill to extinguish any ashes or coals that may
have fallen out of grill.
¾To prevent rust: clean grill after each use, apply a light coat of non-stick vegetable oil,
cover and store in a dry place.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ASH CLEANOUT
It is imperative that you clean out the ashes from your TEXAS SMOKER after both
grill and ashes have completely cooled – and before moisture can combine with the
ash. Ash and moisture can create lye, which is very acidic, and speeds up rusting.
CLEANING OF COOKING GRATES
It is much easier to keep the porcelain-coated cooking grates clean if they are
brushed just after cooking, while the coals are still hot – instead of allowing excess
residue to harden after it cools. Take care to avoid burns by wearing insulated mitts.
After brushing, allow the grates (as well as the grill itself) to cool. For more thorough
cleaning, use a wet, soapy, fine steel wool pad with only slight pressure. Rinse
thoroughly and dry.
FINISH TOUCH-UP
Surface rust can be removed with a wire brush. Rust spots on the surface can be
buffed, cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to
minimise rusting. High temperature paint is available from your store of purchase to
restore the painted exterior surfaces. Follow the directions on the can.
