Benedini Oilsmoke II User manual

Building instruction for Benedini Oilsmoke II
Building this smoker needs mechanical and solder skills!
A bench drill is highly recommended!
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).
If the LARG smoker housing is used, the jig can be placed
in the center of the lid. Pictures below show the small box as
an example.
. Mark ALL wholes through the paper by a needle or centre
punch.
3. Drill all holes you need. Watch the labled diameters
N V R 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 !

5. Install the fan by .9 x 19mm self tapping screws
6. Solder all wires as shown at the end of this manual according to the desired operation voltage !!!
7. Install cover by using two of the fan screws and
two additional ones below, supported by 10mm plastic
sleeves between box and cover.
Bend the edge covering the fan slightly to top.
This ensures a free running fan.
!!! No guarantee on damaged fans !!!
Make ABSOLUT LY sure the cover does NOT touch
any electric contacts below !!!
Cover screws are supported by 10mm plastic sleeves
between box and cover.
2 vertical smoke outlets are shown on this picture.
The smoke controller is fixed by a “velcro” pad on the
cover.
9. Solder the heating elements to the solder lugs inside the box. x two heaters in series, as shown
on the picture below. The distance to the lid should be around 15mm
!!! Make sure the wires connect ONLY the solder lugs !!!
They must NOT touch the led or any other parts
Insert refilling tube here.
→ see instruction below !!!
15 mm

10. Install the lid on the box. Bend the wicks CAR FULLY to the side of the FAN to ensure laying
PARALL L on the bottom of the housing.
The proper installation can be seen on the picture below. Shown at a transparent plastic housing.
11. Tape two rubber feet on the XIT side of the
housing.
The exit side should be raised slightly to keep the
smoke oil more in the opposite edge.
1 . Insert the filling tube.
Make sure it last about 5mm until bottom
End of filling tube
x Elevation feet on filling tube side ONLY
Final installation with fixed outlet and refill tubes, using three cable ties.

Hints:
1. If accidentally drilled holes are not necessary, close it simply by inserting a screw.
. Horizontal smoke exit:
Drill holes as high as possible!
Otherwise the max. filling volume of smoke oil is reduced! Oil may flow into the exit tubes.
3. Install tubes continuously rising to the exhaust. This allows condensed smoke flowing back into
the container.
4. See operation manual for installation and operating advice for the smoker !!!
It is recommended downloading this manual from www.benedini.de for having coloured pictures.
