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 blue box (lid).
If the LARG smoker housing is used, the jig can be placed in
the center of the lid. This leaves space for vertical smoke exit
on the left and right side of the housing.
. Mark ALL wholes through the paper by a needle.
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.
Watch the lug orientation inside and outside the box !!! (see last page for 24V operation)
Tighten the screws carefully but do not overturn!
They feed the heating current into the box.

5. Install the fan by .9 x 19mm self tapping screws
6. Install the smoke controller by double faced adhesive as shown below (tape not included)
7. Solder all wires as shown at the end of this manual according to the desired operation voltage !!!
Hole cutter

9. Install cover by using two of the fan screws.
Make ABSOLUT LY sure the cover does NOT
touch any electric contacts below !!!
10. Bend the edge covering the fan slightly to top.
This ensures a free running fan.
!!! No guarantee on damaged fans !!!
The third cover screw is supported by a 10mm plastic
sleeve between box and cover.
2 vertical smoke exit are shown on this picture.
Cover needs to be cut out in this configuration.
11. Solder heating
elements to the solder
lugs inside the box.
x two heaters in series,
as shown on the right.
Distance to the lid must
be 15mm !!!
Insert refilling tube here

1 . Install the lid on the box by bending the wicks CAR FULLY to the side of the FAN.
!!! Check if all wicks touch the bottom of the box !!!
13. 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.
14. Check if the bended wicks look like this
(view through the bottom)
15. Insert the filling tube.
Make sure it last about 5mm until bottom
End of filling tube
x Elevation feet on filling tube side ONLY
Housing with 2x horizontal smoke exit.
In this case do NOT drill exit holes into the lid!

Drilling jig see last page.

Hints:
1. If any drilled hole is not used, 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.
