able to properly install the support panels and support bar in a later
assembly step.
• Mount one support leg to the smoke cabinet using three screws. Repeat
installation for the other three support legs. Note illustration 1.

Parts are located throughout the shipping carton, including underneath the smoker. Inspect the smoker, parts, and hardware
blister pack after removing from the protective shipping carton. Discard all packaging materials from inside and outside of the
smoker before assembly, then review and inspect all parts by referencing the parts list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not
attempt to assemble. Shipping damage is not covered under warranty. Contact your dealer or Pit Boss Customer Service for parts:
Monday through Sunday, 4am - 8pm PST (EN/FR/ES).
IMPORTANT: To ease installation, using two people is helpful (but not necessary) when assembling this unit.
Tools required for assembly: screwdriver and level. Tools not included.

Installation:
• Insert six cooking grid support brackets into the holes along the left

the same heights, for the right side wall. Note illustration 15.
• Place the flame tamer over the burn pot at the bottom of the interior
main cabinet. To ensure proper positioning, align the flame tamer into
the grooves along the bottom of the base panel. Note illustration 15.
IMPORTANT: The ventilation windows on the sides of the flame
tamer box must not face forward, towards the cabinet door. This
may cause damage to the control board if flames are too large.
• Next, insert the water pan into the lowest grid support brackets of the
interior cabinet. Fill your water pan about ¾ full of water.

NOTE: Before plugging your unit into any electrical outlet, ensure the
temperature dial is in the OFF position. Disconnect when not in use.
•  
This unit requires 110-120 volt, 60Hz, 250W service. It must be a
3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken off. The
control uses a 5 amp, 110-120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board
from the igniter.
•  
This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended
size of 15 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power
surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During
the start-up phase, the igniter draws 200-700 watts of electricity
which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. The quality
of the GFCI does not matter, but rather the sensitivity; each time it
trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the
outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.
•   
Disconnect the igniter from the main wiring harness. Use the manual
start-up procedure. A Pit Boss unit can operate using a 12 volt, 100 watt
inverter plugged into your automobile outlet. To use the automatic
igniter, it is recommended to use a minimum of a 1000 watt inverter.
IMPORTANT: Keep water in the water pan at all times while cooking.
It will catch grease and drippings from your cooks and allow for
easier clean up. If smoking for an extended period of time, move
water pan up higher to allow water to last longer.
• Last, place the cooking grids, one-by-one, on the grid support brackets
inside the main cabinet. Note illustration 15.
