Gas and Regulator
This gas smoker is for use with NZ LPG only. LPG
bottles, will supply gas all year round, even on cold
winter days. A spanner may be required to change
gas bottles.
 The hose should hang freely with no bends,
twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that could obstruct
free flow of gas. Always inspect the hose for cuts,
cracks, or excessive wear before use.
 Apart from the connection point, no part of the
hose should touch any hot gas smoker parts. If
the hose shows any sign of damage it must be
replaced with an Approved hose suitable for use
with LP gas.

Installation
Selecting a Location
This gas smoker is for outdoor use only and
should be placed in a well-ventilated area, and on a
safe and even surface. Never place your gas smoker
below ground level. Take care to ensure that the gas
smoker must be used on incombustible floor.The
sides of the gas smoker should NEVER be closer
than 1 metre from any combustible surface, including
trees and fences and make sure that there are no
heat sources near the gas smoker (cigarettes, open
flames, spark etc.). Keep this gas smoker away from
any flammable materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the gas
smoker body. Position the gas bottle on level ground
next to the gas smoker and safely away from any
source of heat. Should you need to install or change
the gas bottle, confirm that the gas smoker is switched
off, and that there are no sources of ignition
(cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before
proceeding.
Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all gas smoker control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s
instructions.
Leak Testing (Always perform a leak test in a
well-ventilated area)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position. Turn
the gas on / open the gas control valve on the gas
bottle or regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a
solution of ½ water and ½ liquid detergent / soap over
all the gas system joints, including gas bottle valve
connections, hose connections, and regulator
connections. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test
for leaks at any time. If bubbles form over any of the
joints there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply at the gas
bottle. Retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form
again do not use the gas smoker and contact your
local distributor for assistance. Always wipe the mixed
solution (½ water and ½ liquid detergent / soap) from
all joints and connections after leak testing.
Operation
Warning
 Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to apply a
light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each
barbecuing session. (Note: When cooking for the
first time, paint colours may change slightly as a
result. This is normal and should be expected.)
During use, the protective coating may come off the
cooking surface. This is normal and is not harmful.
Line the drip pan with aluminium foil, making sure
that drain hole is not blocked. This will make cleanup
easier.
Lighting Instructions
 Read and follow all instructions and warnings in
manual before lighting.
 Keep both doors open while lighting.
 Push and turn the control knob to HIGH while
pressing down firmly and rapidly on the ignitor
You should hear a click from the ignitor. Let the
ignitor button return to its starting position and
press it again. Repeat the action until the burner
ignites.
 If ignition does not take place within 5 seconds,
immediately turn the control knob to OFF. Wait
5 minutes and repeat step 3 or refer to match
lighting instructions in the manual.
Manual Ignition Instruction for Main Burner
 Insert lit match through the match-lighting hole at
the side or bottom of the gas smoker body.
 Push in and turn the burner control knob anti-
clockwise to the max position, the burner should
ignite.
 After the left or right portion of the burner is lit,
light the remaining portion of the burner.
 If burner fails to ignite, contact your local dealer
for assistance.
 After ignition, the burner should be burned at the
max position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat
the gas smoker. This process should be done
before every cooking session. The hood (where
applicable) should be open during preheating.
 After completion of preheating, the burner should
normally be turned down to a lower position for
best cooking results.

In the event of a fat fire
 If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the ‘off’
position.
 Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
 Keep everyone at a safe distance from the gas
smoker and wait until the fire has burnt out.
 Do not close the hood or lid of the gas smoker.
 NEVER DOUSE A GAS SMOKER WITH WATER.
IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE
A
POWDER TYPE.
 DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
 If the fire does not seem to be abating or appears
to be worsening, contact your local Fire Brigade
for assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the gas smoker
burners to the “high” position and burn for 5 minutes.
This
procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making
cleaning easier. Make sure the hood is open during
this process.
Turning Off Your Gas Smoker
When you have finished using your gas smoker , turn
off the gas supply at the gas cylinder and then when
the burners go out, turn off all the gas control knobs.
Wait until the gas smoker is sufficiently cool before
closing the hood or lid.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean your gas smoker between uses and
especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure
the gas smoker and its components are sufficiently
cool before cleaning. Do not leave the gas smoker
exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in
damp, moist areas.
 Never douse the gas smoker with water when its
surfaces are hot.
 Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of
your gas smoker, we strongly recommend that the
unit be covered when left outside for any length of
time, especially during the winter months.
Even when your gas smoker is covered for its
protection, it must be inspected on a regular basis as
damp or condensation can form which may result in
damage to the gas smoker. It may be necessary to dry
the gas smoker and the inside of the cover. It is
possible for mould to grow on any fat remaining on
parts of the gas smoker . This should be cleaned
off smooth surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into contact
with the food should be treated with a rust inhibitor
and painted with gas smoker paint or a heat resistant
paint. A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome parts
if required. To prevent rusting, wipe chrome plated
parts with cooking oil after rinsing and drying.
Cooking Surfaces
When the gas smoker has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To remove any food residue, use a mild
cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Do not use
scouring pads or powders as they can permanently
damage the finish. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Due
to the weight of the cooking surfaces, we do not
recommend cleaning in a dishwasher.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the
cooking surface. If rust appears between uses or in
storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush. Be careful
not to damage the cooking surface, re-oil and cure.
Burner
Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal
usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep
the burners clean.
The burners should be removed and cleaned annually,
or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that
there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in
either the burner portholes or the primary air inlet of
the burners. Use a pipe cleaner to clear obstructions.
When refitting the burners, be careful to check that the
neck of the burner fits over the valve outlet.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the
burners. If rust appears between uses or in storage,
clean with a soft brass wire brush.
Flame Tamer
Remove any food residue from the flame tamer
surface with a plastic or wooden scraper or brass wire
brush.
Do not use a steel scraper or wire brush. Clean with
hot soapy water and rinse well.
Flame tamers will deteriorate with use—this isnormal.
Periodic replacement may be needed.
Drip Tray
After every use, empty and clean the drip tray of any
fat or food particles, using a plastic or wooden scraper
if necessary.
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up can
result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous and severely
damage the gas smoker . This is not a fault in the gas
smoker and is therefore not covered by the terms of
the warranty. If required, the tray can be washed in hot
soapy water.
Gas smoker Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the gas
smoker body using a cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water and dry thoroughly. Excess fat and food debris
can be removed from inside the body using a soft
11

plastic or wooden scraper. It is not necessary to
remove all the grease from the body. If you need to
clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-
bristled brush only. Do not use abrasives. Remove
cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do
not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
Check burner operation after carefully refitting into
body.
A stainless steel cleaner may be used on stainless
steel parts if required.
Whenever a gas smoker is being assembled for the
first time or its burners are being cleaned, make sure
each gas valve tip goes into the burner venturi tube
completely during the assemble or re-assemble
process.
Gas smoker Hood or Lid
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with hot,
soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or powders as
they can permanently damage the finish.
Trolley
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water and dry.
Fixings
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and
tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
Ensure the gas smoker is properly cooled before
covering or storing. Store your gas smoker in a cool
dry place. It must be inspected ona regular
basis asdamp or condensation can form which
may result in damage to the gas smoker. It may
be necessary to dry the gas smoker and the inside of
the cover if used. Mould can grow under these
conditions and should be cleaned and treated if
required. Any rust that is found that does not come
into contact with the food should be treated with a
rust inhibitor and painted with gas smoker paint or
a heat resistant paint.
Cooking grills should be coated with cooking oil.
Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order
to prevent insects or other debris from obstructing
the burner holes.
If the gas smoker is to be stored indoors, the gas
bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas
bottle should always be stored outside, in a dry, well-
ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or
ignition. Do not let children tamper with the bottle.
When using the gas smoker after extended periods
of storage follow the cleaning procedures.
