with Acme/Type 1/QCC1 Safety Valves). These can be quickly identified because the valves have external

threads.

LP gas is flammable, explosive under pressure, colorless, tasteless and heavier than air. It pools in low areas.

LP gas is naturally odorless, but a distinctive odor has been added by the LP gas supplier for your protection.

LP gas can cause skin to freeze on contact.

Burning LP gas consumes oxygen and produces carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Never operate this appliance

inside a building or confined area.

Carefully read and follow all instructions on LP tank.

The LP-gas supply tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas tanks

of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR49 or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339,

Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.

Never use a LP tank with a damaged body, valve, collar or foot ring. A dented or rusty LP tank may be

hazardous and should be checked out by a LP gas supplier.

Use only LP tanks that include a collar to protect the tank valve.

Do not store spare LP gas tanks under or near this appliance. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full. If

these instructions are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

When the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder. Storage of the appliance

indoors is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Always use and

store LP tank in an upright position. Never store or transport LP tank in occupied enclosures. LP tanks must be

stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed

area.

Always perform a leak test on all gas connections whenever a tank is connected. If bubbles form in the leak test

solution, do not use. Never use a flame to test for leaks.

Step 1.5 Connecting the LP Gas Tank

See figure 14 for the regulator control valve on

left and high-pressure regulator on right. See

figure 15 for the QCC1 fitting.

Fig. 14

Fig. 15

NOTE: The regulator control valve controls the flame intensity and acts as an On/Off valve when operating the

appliance. When finished cooking or in case of emergency, close the LP tank valve by turning LP tank valve

clockwise until tight (Closed Position). Be sure to close LP tank valve before disconnecting the hose.

Make sure the regulator control valve is in the closed position by turning the valve clockwise until it is tight

(figures 16 & 17). This will not allow gas to flow through the hose.

Fig. 16 Fig. 17

Make sure the valve on LP tank is clean. Attach regulator (in up position) and hose to LP tank by sliding the

black portion of the QCC1 fitting overtop LP tank valve threads (figure 18). Turn QCC1 fitting clockwise until

hand tight (figure 19). Do not use a wrench to tighten Type I (QCC1) fitting (hand tighten only).

Clean and Inspect hose before each use. If evidence of abrasion, wear,

cuts, or leaks, replace hose prior to operation. Replace only with Eastman

Outdoors high pressure regulator assembly Model 90320.

High pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied must be used. Do

not use high pressure regulator and hose assembly with any other gas

appliance.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause property damage, serious personal injury or death.

OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED

Page 8 of 18

Fig. 18 Fig. 19

Make sure burner orifice/hose connection is in the

down position so the hose curves to the ground

(figure 20). If hose does not curve to the ground,

turn hose at the orifice hose connection end until the

hose curves to the ground.

Fig. 20

Check regulator control valve

Close regulator control valve and slowly open LP tank valve by turning it counterclockwise two

complete turns. If gas passes through the regulator to the burner, hear or smelling gas escaping,

immediately close the LP tank by turning LP valve clockwise. The regulator control valve is faulty, do

not use and call Eastman Outdoors Customer Service Department at 1-800-241-4833 for replacement.

If no gas passes through the regulator control valve, proceed to next step.

The LP tank must be in the upright position for proper function of the cylinder supply system so it is

arranged for vapor withdrawal.

NOTE: Most LP tanks are equipped with a safety device to shut off the flow of gas if the hose is cut or

severed. Sometimes this safety device may be tripped when lighting the burner or opening the LP tank

valve too quickly. To prevent this, always make sure regulator control valve is closed before opening

LP tank valve and always open LP tank valve slowly.

If the safety device is activated (shuts off/limits gas supply to appliance), close LP tank valve and open

regulator control valve to release gas remaining in the regulator. Close regulator control valve and

disconnect the QCC1 fitting from LP tank. This will reset the safety shut off device. Reconnect the

QCC1 to the LP tank by following above instructions.

Step 1.6 Leak Testing

Close regulator control valve, by turning it clockwise. Apply a mixture of equal parts liquid detergent

(dishwashing soap) and water to LP tank valve, QCC1 connection, regulator, regulator control valve, all

connections, hose crimps, entire length of hose and hose/burner attachment connections with a sponge

(figures 21, 22 and 23).

Fig. 21 Fig. 22 Fig. 23

Open LP tank valve one turn by slowly turning it counter clockwise. If you hear gas rushing, smell gas,

or see growing bubbles, immediately turn LP tank off and make sure all connections are tight.

•

Do not smoke when checking regulator control valve.

•Do not check regulator control valve near ignition sources such as gasoline,

open flame, or electrical appliances.

•Do not open LP tank valve for more than 5 seconds.

•

If gas is escaping, close LP tank valve and

do not

use appliance.

•

Conduct leak test every time LP tank is connected or reconnected.

•Do not use open flame to check for gas leaks.

•Do not smoke during the leak test.

•Always conduct leak test outdoors in well ventilated area away from ignition

sources such as gasoline, open flame, sparks or electrical appliances.

OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED

Page 9 of 18

Retest system by redoing this step. If you still hear gas rushing, smell gas, or see growing bubbles,

immediately turn LP tank off and contact Eastman Outdoors Customer Service Department at 1-800-

241-4833. DO NOT USE THE BURNER.

Proceed to the next step only if you do not hear or smell gas or see growing bubbles.

Turn regulator control valve ¼ turn counter-clockwise until gas starts to pass through regulator. Do not

open regulator control valve for more than 5 seconds. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the

connections, hose crimps, or entire length of hose where soapy water has been applied. If growing

bubbles begin to appear, there is a leak. Immediately turn off both the LP tank valve and regulator

control valve.

Tighten the connections and repeat test. If the leak cannot be stopped, contact Eastman Outdoors

Customer Service Department at 1-800-241-4833. DO NOT USE THE BURNER.

Always close the regulator control valve and LP tank valve after performing the leak test.

STEP 2 OPERATION

Step 2.1 Maintenance Before every use

Before each use, check to make sure appliance area is clear and free from combustible materials,

gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquid.

Perform leak test on all gas connections, hose, valves, and regulator. If bubbles form in leak test

solution, do not use.

Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear,

cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. The gas

pressure regulator provided with this appliance must be used. Replace only with Eastman

Outdoors regulator assembly Model No. 90320.

Before each use, visually check the ventilation opening(s) of the LP tank enclosure and the burner

to ensure they are free and clear of debris. Do NOT obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure and burner free and clear of debris.

Before each use, visually check and clean the burner, venturi, and orifices for insects and insect

nests. Spiders and small insects can nest in venturi or orifices during warehousing, transit, or

between periods of use. Obstructions in the venturi or orifices interfere with the flow of air and gas

through the burner. This can cause a yellow flame, flashback, and can lead to a fire beneath the

burner. If this occurs, immediately turn the LP tank valve off and turn the regulator control valve off.

DO NOT USE THE BURNER. If a nest is detected, with the burner at room temperature, clean the

venturi and casting holes with a bent wire, heavy-duty pipe cleaner, or screwdriver. Compressed

air may help clear away smaller particles.

Before and after each use, with the gas OFF at the LP tank and the burner cooled to room

temperature, visually check the regulator, needle valve, QCC1, hose, hose connections, burner

parts, air shutter, and venturi section for any sign of wear or damage.

Before each use, inspect the cooking vessel for dents, cracks, or pinholes. Fill the cooking vessel

with water and dry off the outside of the cooking vessel. If water appears on the outside of cooking

vessel, there is a leak. Do NOT use the cooking vessel if there is a leak. Contact Eastman

Outdoors at 1-800-241-4833 on how to obtain replacement parts.

While operating burner, visually check flames. They should be deep blue to almost invisible in the

light (figure 24). If they are not, adjust the air shutter until deep blue flame is obtained (figure 25).

Fig. 24 Fig. 25

If burner flames are yellow, blows out, does not light, or flames inside venturi tube, immediately

OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED

Page 10 of 18

turn gas OFF at the LP tank. Spiders and other insects can build nests inside the burner venturi

blocking air and gas flow. If this occurs, with gas OFF at LP tank and burner cooled to room

temperature, remove air shutter, spring, and hose assembly and clean venturi tube and casting

holes with a bent wire, heavy-duty pipe cleaner, or screwdriver through the air shutter holes.

Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles. If burner casting is not cleared, flush water

or use compressed air through the small casting holes to blow or wash out debris through the air

shutter holes. Once cleared, reassemble air shutter, spring, and hose assembly. If flame occurs

inside venturi tube, this is caused by a blockage and may cause damage to hose/orifice assembly.

Step 2.1 Lighting

Locate the appliance outdoors in well-ventilated areas, clear of combustible materials, and on a level, stable,

noncombustible surface like brick, concrete, or dirt.

If there is wind, locate the appliance in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

Close regulator control valve by turning valve clockwise until tight. Start propane gas flow from LP tank

by slowly turning the LP valve two complete turns counter-clockwise.

Place a lit match (Eastman Outdoors strongly

recommends using a long-stem match or lighter)

under the burner up through the hole in the center

of the burner element (figure 27).

Fig. 27

Slowly turn the regulator control valve a half rotation (counter-clockwise) until burner lights. Do not open

regulator control valve more than 1/2 a turn until the burner is lit.

If burner does not ignite in 3 to 5 seconds, turn regulator control valve off and turn LP tank valve off.

Check to make sure the LP tank is not empty. Wait five minutes for gas fumes to dissipate. Do not

attempt to re-light if you smell gas. Disconnect the QCC1 fitting and reconnect it to LP tank. Doing this

Always locate LP tank a minimum of 3ft (0.9m) upwind from burner. (figure 26)

resets the safety valve in the LP tank if the valves are opened too quickly. Repeat the lighting

procedure making sure to open both valves slowly.

When burner is lit, turn regulator control valve to

regulate flame intensity. Turn valve counter-

clockwise to increase flame. Turn valve clockwise

to reduce flame. Flame should be deep blue to

almost invisible in light (figure 28). If not, adjust air

shutter until a blue flame is obtained (figure 29).

Fig. 28 Fig. 29

If flame goes out during operation, first turn regulator valve off and then turn LP tank valve off. Wait five

minutes for gas fumes to dissipate and then repeat lighting procedures.

Step 2.2 Shut Off

Shut off the regulator control valve by turning it clockwise until tight.

When the flame is out and no gas passes through the regulator control valve, close the LP tank by

turning the tank valve clockwise until tight.

If the appliance is not in use, gas must be turned off at the LP tank.

When the burner is not in use, disconnect the regulator and hose from LP tank and hook it onto the

hose connection to protect the QCC1 fitting from being damaged.

Burner, pot, and contents must be allowed to cool to room temperature before handling.

STEP 3 Using Your Appliance

Before first use, wash cooking vessel in hot soapy water. Dry to prevent water spots. To prevent

scratches, avoid using sharp utensils when cooking and avoid soap-filled steel wool pads, abrasive

sponges, or abrasive cleaners when cleaning. Discoloration of pot may result if pot is allowed to

overheat.

Step 3.1 How to Determine Fill Level

With burner off and cooking vessel placed off to the side of burner, add cooking oil/grease or water into

vessel. See above for proper oil/grease/water level. If the amount of oil determined from above

steps exceeds the maximum fill line, fill cooking vessel up to maximum fill line. Never fill vessel

above MAXIMUM FILL LEVEL.

Step 3.2 Thermometer Attachment Instructions

Always use a thermometer to ensure correct temperature.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DETERMINING MAXIMUM FILL LEVEL OF THE COOKING

VESSEL:

1. Place the food product on the holder or in the basket.

2. Place the food product and holder/basket into the empty vessel.

3. Fill the vessel with water just until the food product is completely submerged. There

must be a minimum of 3 inches (8cm) between the water level and top of the vessel.

4. Remove the food product and holder/basket from the vessel and either mark the water

level on the side of the vessel or measure the amount of water in the vessel.

5. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.

6. This is the amount of cooking oil the vessel is to be filled with to cook the food product.

Never fill cooking vessel above MAXIMUM FILL LEVEL.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause property damage,

serious personal injury or death

Step 3.3 Lighting and Placing Cooking Vessel onto Burner

Light the burner following lighting instructions in Step 2.1. Place correctly filled cooking vessel on the

burner (figure 33). For wok cooking, place wok on the burner (figure 34). Do NOT place an empty

cooking vessel on the appliance while in operation except when using a wok. Make sure cooking vessel

is centered on the burner.

Fig. 33: Burner with cooking vessel Fig. 34: Burner with wok

Step 3.4 Heat Cooking Liquid

Heat the cooking liquid to the desired temperature by following the Cooking Instructions Section.

Before cooking liquid reaches the desired temperature, turn the flame intensity down by adjusting the

regulator control valve so the temperature steadies at the desired degree. If the temperature begins to

drop before the desired temperature is reached, slightly increase the flame intensity by adjusting the

regulator control valve. Continue adjusting the flame intensity up and down as needed.

Step 3.5 Insert Food into Cooking Vessel

Do not fry without a thermometer or with a faulty thermometer.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could

cause property damage,

serious personal injury or death

•

Do not allow tip of thermometer to pierce food because this will give a

false reading.

•

Do not use the lid while heating the oil or while deep-frying

Never permit oil/grease to exceed 350ºF (177ºC). Control heat intensity

with regulator control valve.

If temperature exceeds 350ºF (177ºC) or oil begins to smoke,

IMMEDIATELY turn needle valve down. If temperature does not drop,

continues to increase or smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn burner OFF.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause property damage, serious personal injury or death.

Never insert frozen food into heated oil.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause property damage, serious personal injury or death.

Once cooking oil/grease/water reaches cooking temperature, slowly and gently partially insert the

completely thawed and towel dried food into the cooking vessel, and then remove it from oil/grease.

Oil/grease will boil do to moister on food. Repeat the process further into oil/grease, approximately

three or four times until the oil/grease does not boil and all moister is cooked off food. Then completely

submerge food into cooking liquid. Observe the cooking liquid level to avoid accidental spillage.

Step 3.6 Cooking Food

Cook food according to included cooking instructions. Once food is completely cooked, turn burner off

by first turning regulator control valve off and then turn LP tank valve off. Follow included cooking

instructions on how to remove food from cooking vessel.

Step 4 Clean Up

Once at room temperature, remove oil/grease or water from cooking vessel. Store used oil according to

oil manufacturer’s recommendations or dispose of properly. Do not pour oil/grease down any drain in

your dwellings. Do not pour oil/grease or salt water onto yard or lawn.

Clean cooking vessel with degreasing dish soap and hot water. Dry to prevent water spots. Do not use

soap-filled steel wool pads, abrasive sponges, or abrasive cleaners because scratching can occur.

Clean burner, as needed, with degreasing dish soap and water. Avoid getting water in burner casting.

Once clean, coat burner legs and burner body with a light layer of cooking oil. Avoid getting cooking oil

in burner casting. If rusting occurs, use steel wool to clean or buff rusted area and coat with cooking oil.

Do not paint interior of appliance. The exterior of the appliance may be touched up by using high

temperature paint.

Step 5 Packing and Storage

Step 5.1 Burner and LP tank storage

Close regulator and LP tank valves when not in

use. Disconnect LP tank and hook hose end with

QCC1 fitting onto orifice assembly (figure 35) to

protect the fitting from being damaged.

Fig. 35

Never permit oil/grease to exceed 350ºF (177ºC). Control heat intensity

with regulator control valve.

If temperature exceeds 350ºF (177ºC) or oil begins to smoke,

IMMEDIATELY turn needle valve down. If temperature does not drop,

continues to increase or smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn burner OFF.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause propert

y damage,

serious personal injury or death

As food is slowly lowered into hot cooking oil, oil will begin to boil which can

cause splattering.

Wear cooking gloves/mitts, eye protection, shoes, and long sleeved shirt when

inserting or removing food from cooking vessel.

Always turn burner off when removing food from cooking vessel.

Allow burner, cooking vessel, and contents to cool to room temperature

before cleaning.

Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of

dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or

plugs may result in leakage of propane.

LP tank must be stored in an upright position outdoors, out of the reach of children and must not be

stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.

Read and follow all instructions and storage instructions on LP tank.

Storage of appliance indoors is permissible only if LP tank is disconnected and removed from

appliance.

Store burner in a protected cool dry area and cover it to help prevent spiders and insects from

nesting in the venturi and orifices.

Step 6 Frequently Asked Questions

Flame burns yellow, blows out, does not burn at all, or there is a flame inside the venturi?

Immediately turn gas OFF at LP tank. Spiders and insects can build nests inside burner venturi

blocking air and gas flow. If this occurs, with gas OFF at LP tank and burner at room temperature,

remove air shutter, spring, and hose assembly. Clean venturi tube and casting holes with a bent wire,

heavy-duty pipe cleaner, or screwdriver. Use compressed air or flush water through small casting holes

to clean out debris from air holes. Once cleared, reassemble air shutter, spring, and hose assembly.

OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED

Page 15 of 18

Burner does not ignite in 3 to 5 seconds or burner ignites and has a low flame intensity?

Turn regulator control valve off and turn LP tank valve off. Check to make sure the LP tank is not empty.

Wait five minutes for gas fumes to dissipate. Do not attempt to re-light if you smell gas. Disconnect the

QCC1 fitting and reconnect it to LP tank. Doing this resets the safety valve in the LP tank if the valves

are opened too quickly. Repeat the lighting procedure making sure to open both valves slowly.

Locking knob is loose and the leg does not slide up and down?

Make sure locking knob is not loosened too much. If knob is loosened until it stops, it may pinch leg

causing it not to slide. Retighten knob so it locks leg into place and then loosen knob just enough so pin

clears the hole on the opposite side of the leg.

Leg is difficult to slide up and down?

Add a light coat of vegetable oil to outside of the inner leg. This will allow leg to slide up and down.

What temperature should the oil be at for optimum cooking use?

For best results, keep oil temperature between 325º (163º Celsius) and 350º Fahrenheit (177º Celsius).

If oil starts to smoke, the oil is breaking down and can become unsuitable for use. Although break down

temperatures can vary among different oils, most break down around 400º Fahrenheit (204º Celsius).

What is the best frying oil to use for outdoor cooking?

The best cooking oils are those with high flash points.

Step 7 Fish/Hot Pot Assembly Instructions

Step 8 Cooking with Wok

Burner is designed for woks up to 18 inches in diameter.

Step 8.1 Wok Food Preparation

To prevent possibility of cross contamination, always clean and disinfect all cooking and handling

surfaces and tools before, between use, and after each use…especially when handling uncooked meat.

Cut all ingredients close to the same size for even cooking. Plan on about 1/3 lb. of protein (beef,

chicken, seafood, tofu, etc.), 1/2 lb. of vegetables and 3 oz. of Wok King Finishing Sauce per person. In

addition to the veggies, you’ll need ¼ to ½ cup of cooked rice or noodles for each person. When you’re

finished preparing, make sure you refrigerate all food until you’re ready to Wok.

Step 8.2 Woking with burner

Make sure wok, utensils, ingredients, sauces, oils, and condiments are all in place and prepared for

cooking. Keep in mind, while woking, the number one rule is to maintain plenty of heat. Without high

heat, vegetables may end up soggy. Light the burner following all safety warnings and instructions.

Place the wok on burner grates and heat the wok.

Lightly coat wok with wok oil or vegetable oil. Drizzle oil around top perimeter and let oil coat sides and

bottom.

Once oil is hot, add meat to be cooked. (Do not overcook beef or undercook pork or fowl.) Stir or toss

ingredients continuously to keep them from burning.

OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED

Page 16 of 18

Once meat is cooked, add heavy vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, etc. Then add

remaining lighter vegetables.

For vegetarian dishes, tofu can be added now (we suggest that the tofu is pre-fried to prevent

crumbling). Mix slowly.

Once meat and vegetables are cooked add Wok King

Finishing Sauce. Pour an ample amount of

Finishing Sauce over ingredients, cook for one minute, and turn burner off, by first turning the

regulator control valve off and then turn the LP tank valve off. Wearing insulated outdoor cooking

gloves/mitts remove wok from heat and serve and enjoy! Wok and food are extremely hot!

Step 9 Frying Fish or Chicken Wings

Eastman Outdoors Fish-Fry/Hot pot and Eastman Outdoors Burner can fry up to 2 pounds of fish or

chicken wings at one time.

Step 9.1 Preperation

Fish Preparation

Fish must be completely thawed before frying. Mix Eastman Outdoors Seasoned Batter with water

(beer may be added instead of water for beer batter) and set aside. Sprinkle fish with Garlic Lemon

Pepper Seasoning. Cover and let seasoning soak in for 5 minutes.

Chicken Wing Preparation

Chicken wings must be completely thawed and towel dried before frying.

Step 9.2 Oil Preparation

With basket in the Fish-Fry/Hot pot, fill pot 1/3 to 1/2 full of oil. Never fill a cooking vessel more than 1/2

full of oil or past maximum fill line if using a marked cooking vessel. This allows for displacement of oil

caused by the addition of food, however, always check oil level to ensure adequate coverage so foods

fry evenly. Use oils with high flash points. Remove basket from oil and place on a paper towel.

Step 9.3 Deep Frying Instructions

Light burner and place cooking vessel with oil on burner. Make sure cooking vessel is centered on

burner. Use Eastman Outdoors’ Deep Fry Thermometer to prevent overheating and to ensure proper

cooking temperatures. Heat oil to 325ºF to 350ºF (163ºC to 177ºC). Do not use a lid when heating oil or

deep-frying.

Once oil temperature reaches 325ºF to 350ºF (163ºC to 177ºC), for fish, dip fish in batter and place up

to 2 pounds of thawed fish into the basket, for chicken wings, do not coat wings with sauce prior to

cooking, place up to 2 pound of thawed chicken wings into the basket.

Read and follow all warnings and ins

tructions before using.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause property damage,

serious personal injury or death

Do not fry without a thermometer or with a faulty thermometer.

Never permit oil/grease to exceed 350ºF (177ºC). Control heat intensity

with regulator control valve.

If temperature exceeds 350ºF (177ºC) or oil begins to smoke,

IMMEDIATELY turn needle valve down. If temperature does not drop,

continues to increase or smoke, IMMEDIATELY turn burner OFF.

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to fire or explosion, which

could cause property damage,

SLOWLY and GENTLY, partially insert completely thawed and dried fish/chicken wings into oil and then

remove them. Repeat the process further, approximately three or four times until fish/chicken wings are

completely submerged, while observing cooking liquid level, so as to avoid accidental spillage. This

process boils out excess moisture and helps prevent oil from boiling over.

When fish/chicken wings are placed in oil, the temperature will drop. Slowly bring oil back to 325ºF to

350ºF (163ºC to 177ºC). Before oil reaches 350ºF (177ºC), turn flame intensity down by adjusting the

regulator control valve so temperature steadies between 325ºF to 350ºF (163ºC to 177ºC). If

temperature begins to drop below 325ºF (163ºC), slightly increase flame intensity by adjusting the valve.

Continue adjusting flame intensity up and down until 325ºF to 350ºF (163ºC to 177ºC) is reached.

Fry fish until golden brown, which takes approximately 5-8 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Fry chicken wings for 8 to 10 minutes (hint: wings are cooked when they start to float).

When fish/chicken wings are completely cooked, turn burner off, by first turning the regulator control

valve off and then turn LP tank valve off. Leave the Fish/Hot pot on burner and wearing insulated

outdoor cooking gloves/mitts carefully remove the basket containing fish/chicken wings.

Drain excess oil from basket by attaching basket handle to the side of the cooking vessel. When oil

stops dripping, remove basket from the cooking vessel.

Place fish on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve and enjoy!

Place chicken wings in a stainless steel mixing bowl. If desired, add Eastman Wing Sauce. Toss to coat

well. Serve and enjoy!
