DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non- combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural. You must only use all-
natural wood pellets, designed for burning in pellet barbecue grills. Do not use fuel labelled as having
additives. At this time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most
pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be
found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.
CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is
also black in color. Soot or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as:
incorrect position of the burn grate, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the
burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion. It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame
become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit off, let it
cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust
areas. If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the
appliance, then wipe away any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when
warm, as it becomes liquid.
CARBON MONOXIDE (!the silent killer”)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal
or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood"s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can
result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or
death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or
others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the
appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected
too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide
is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with
blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
