SAFETY INFORMATION
• DO NOT store and use this appliance near gasoline or other combustible liquids or where other
combustible vapors may be present.
• DO NOT use this appliance as a heater.
• DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use. Keep children and pets away from the
appliance at all times.
• NEVER close the damper completely while cooking.
• If you must dispose of ashes in less time than it takes for the ashes to completely cool down, then
remove the ashes from the appliance, keeping them in the heavy-duty foil, and soak them completely
with water before disposing of them in a noncombustible container.
• This appliance will be hot during and after use. Use insulated oven mitts or gloves for protection from
hot surfaces or splatter from cooking liquids.
• Make sure that the orifice of the control valve properly mates with the burner mixing tube by
visual observation. Please refer to maintenance section.
• Use caution when opening the door of the smoker while in operation. Keep hands, face and body
safe from hot steam or flare-ups. DO NOT inhale smoke.
•DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating the smoker. Tie back long hair while operating the smoker.
ALWAYS wear shoes that fully cover your feet while operating the smoker.
• Allow the smoker and its components to cool completely before conducting any routine cleaning
or maintenance.
• NEVER use glassware, plastic or ceramic cookware on or in your smoker. Use metallic cookware only.
• NEVER operate the smoker without water in the water bowl. NEVER allow the water to completely
evaporate. Check the water level at least every 2 hours. A sizzling sound may indicate a low water
level. Follow instructions in this manual for adding water while operating (see page 15).
• When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient amount prior to operation to avoid having to add wood
while operating. Adding wood while operating may splash hot water and cause serious injury.
• Use of accessories not intended for this smoker is not recommended and may lead to injury or

children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• While the smoker is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder.
• LP gases are heavier than air, tend to pool and collect in low-lying areas, are easily ignited and are
highly flammable. Proper care and caution should be employed when dealing with any such fuels.
• The smoker should be turned off and all supply valves (on piping or on fuel cylinders) should be
closed in the event that the odor of unburned gas is detected. Do not attempt to use the appliance
until any gas leaks are fixed and/or the source of the unburned gas odor is accounted for.

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Do not use the smoker if the burner fails to light or fails to remain lit. Under such conditions, gas
should be turned off and the fuel cylinder should be disconnected.
•Use in high wind conditions that result in poor burner operation such as blowing out and flaring should
be avoided. If repositioning the appliance does not improve operation under such wind conditions,
the appliance should be turned off.
•Install the smoker with the hose regulator assembly extended the full length of the hose (24 in. minimum)
directly away from the appliance. When so configured, placement results in maximum tank to smoker
distance. When the smoker is operated, the hose/regulator and gas tank should be perpendicular to
wind direction. Placing tank closer than 24 in. to the smoker can overheat the tank and cause release
of propane through relief openings and can result in tank fire or explosion.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions before assembling and using the appliance.
• Follow all warnings and instructions when using the appliance.
NOTE: The installation must confirm with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,
CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2, or the Standard for Recreational
Vehicles, ANSI A 119.2/ NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV Series, Recreational Vehicle Code,as
applicable.
