GENERAL INFORMATION
Gas Installation Codes
• Smokers must be used in accordance with AS/NZS
Standard 5601 “Gas Installations”.
• Smokers for use with bottled gas are labelled LPG/ULPG.
• Smokers for use with natural gas are labelled ‘natural
gas’ and must be installed by an authorised person.
Check the gas type sticker attached to the smoker.
Clearances
Minimum Clearances from combustible materials must be:
Rear - 600mm Sides - 600mm Above 900mm
Hose & Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the smoker
are suitable for LPG only.
A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of
2.75kPA is supplied for connection to the LPG cylinder.
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the smoker must be used. Replacement pressure regulators
and hose assemblies must be those specied by the
smoker manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the
gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting or
kinking of the exible hose.
The smoker should be installed with the hose regulator
assembly extended to the full length of hose directly away
from the burner (61cm minimum). When so configured,
placement results in maximum cylinder to smoker
distance. Placing cylinder closer than 61cm to the smoker
can overheat the cylinder and cause release of LPG
through relief openings and can result in cylinder fire or
explosion.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and
check for leaks by brushing a soap and water solution over
all connections.
If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the
connections, turn off the gas and contact the supplier
immediately.
Always ensure the smoker is kept away from ammable
materials and the gas cylinder clear of any heat source.
When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full
one make sure this procedure is carried out in a ame free
atmosphere.
Specifications
Smoker specifications can be found on the data label
attached to the rear panel.

Regulator Safety Feature (NZ Only)
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas cylinder
to regulate the ow of gas) have a safety feature included
that restricts gas ow in the event of a gas leak. You can
inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a
gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas
using the smoker control knob before you turn on the gas
cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates,
the smoker will operate with reduced output as gas ow is
restricted.
These steps should be taken rst to reset the gas regulator
safety device:
1. Ensure the smoker door is open.
2. Turn gas cylinder valve to ‘CLOSE’.
3. Turn off all control knobs.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve one turn. Do not put
excessive force on the valve at the full open position, to
avoid damaging the valve.
9. Light smoker as per the instructions provided.
IMPORTANT: The appliance control knob must be in
the ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-Use Procedures
Before you cook food in your smoker, it is important to
“season” your smoker. Seasoning seals the paint and
interior of your smoker to enhance avoring, durability, and
overall performance. This is also referred to as the
“breakin” process.
If your smoker requires any touch-up paint on the inside of
the cabinet, the only time you should apply paint to the
inside is before the seasoning process. Paint should not be
applied to the interior of your smoker after your smoker
has been used. Paint toxins may contaminate your food.
However, if paint becomes necessary after use, see the
section in this manual concerning After Use Safety and
Maintenance.
To season your smoker, simply use it as you normally
would; only do not cook any food. You will need to follow
all of the operating procedures in the next few sections of
this manual.
Using your desired avoring woods and marinades, burn
your smoker at low temperature (around 125°F [50°C]) for
45-60 minutes. Let the smoker cool, and clean out the used
water and wood.
Once seasoning is complete, your smoker’s interior will
have a durable, seasoned coating.
Adding Water
To add water before cooking, simply remove the water/
wood chip tray from the drawer and ll it with water up to
1cm below the rim.
Then replace the tray back into the drawer and slide back
into smoker. To add water while the smoker is hot, pull out
the drawer and add water directly to bowl. DO NOT remove
bowl as it will be HOT.
Cooking Tips:
• Line the water/wood chip tray with aluminum foil before
each use. This will make it easy to clean and help it
last longer.
• To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean
watering can with a long spout.
Adding Wood/Charcoal
To add wood chips before cooking, simply ll the water/
wood chip tray with your choice of avoring hardwood
chips. The amount and type of wood you use is entirely up
to you. One full tray is typically enough for several hours of
smoking. Once lled, slide inside smoker.
To add wood chips while cooking, slide out drawer. Place
the pieces into the water/wood chip tray without removing
the tray from drawer. It is not recommended to remove the
water/wood chip tray while the smoker is in operation.
CAUTION: The water/wood chip tray gets very
hot. Avoid handling them while in use. Always
wear protective oven mitts when handling hot
components.
Cooking Tips - Flavoring Wood:
• Small wood chips work best inside the water/wood
chip tray.
• Use dry hardwoods such as manuka, apple, or cherry.
• Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke
avoring.
• Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood.
These usually produce unpleasant avoring.
• Let your taste be your guide – experiment with
different types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or
sticks. You can even mix woods.
• To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning,
presoak the wood chips in a separate bowl of water for
at least 20 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated
aluminum foil.
• Most smoke avoring occurs within the rst hour of
cooking. Adding wood chips after the rst hour is
typically not necessary unless extra smoke avoring is
desired.

LIGHTING PROCEDURES
Igniter Lighting System:
1. Perform leak test at least twice yearly or after
connecting LPG cylinder. Check all connections for
leaks using the “soapy water” test as explained on
page 13.
2. Open the smoker bottom cabinet door. It must always
be open when lighting the smoker.
3. Check for any blockage to the burner. Remove any
foreign objects or matter.
4. Be sure the burner control knob is in the “OFF” position.
5. Open the LPG cylinder valve by turning counter-
clockwise.
6. To light the smoker, push in and turn the burner control
knob counter-clockwise to the HIGH setting. The igniter
will click and light the burner.
7. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn the
burner control knob off and wait ve minutes for gas
to clear before repeating the steps again. If burner still
fails to light try match lighting the smoker using the
instructions noted below.
8. Once the burner is lit, then close the door to allow heat
to accumulate.
Match Lighting:
1. Repeat steps 1 through 5 of the Igniter Lighting System
above.
2. Attach a match to the match holder attached to the
side of the smoker. Ignite the match and insert into the
hole shown here. Push in and turn the burner
control knob counter-clockwise to the HIGH setting.
Burner ignition can be checked through this hole.
Shutting The Smoker Off
CAUTION: The smoker can become very hot
while in use. Do not touch any portion of the
smoker except for the door handle and burner
control knob. It may be necessary to use
protective gloves.
• Turn the burner control knob off by pushing in and
rotating clockwise. The burner ame should then go
out.
• Turn off the LPG cylinder valve by turning the knob
clockwise until it stops.
• Follow all warnings and safety precautions before
removing meat from smoker or preparing the unit for
storage. Please see page 2 for proper storage
procedures and the important warnings and safeguards
on pages 2-4.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before each use, clean and inspect
the hose and the connection to the LPG cylinder. If
there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks,
the hose must be replaced before the smoker is
used. Refer to the “leak test” instructions in the
LPG cylinder connection portion of this manual.
• Fill the water/wood chip tray. First add a cup of
avouring wood chips and place the tray inside the
smoker as instructed in the assembly section of this
manual. Also, refer to Cooking Tips for Flavouring
Wood in Operating Instructions section.
• Then pull tray out partially and carefully ll the water
bowl with water or marinade up to 1cm below the rim.
A full bowl will last for approximately 2-3 hours. Do not
overll or allow water to overow from the tray.
• Insert or adjust the cooking grills in to the desired rack
positions. For better access to the food with tongs or
spatulas, make sure the grill wires run front to back as
explained in the assembly section of this manual.
• You are now ready to light the burner. Refer to the
Lighting Procedure on the previous pages of this
manual. The heat from the burner will allow the wood
chips to burn, causing the avoring smoke to
accumulate.
• Place the food on the cooking grills in a single layer
with space between each piece. This will allow smoke
and hot moisture to circulate evenly around all the food
pieces.
• For best results, smoke foods at a constant
temperature of 225° to 250° F (110° to 120° C) as
measured by the temperature gauge mounted on the
front of the smoker. For more tender and heavily
smoked meat, a lower temperature may be preferred.
If time is critical, a higher temperature range is
recommended.
• Check water level periodically and add water if low. For
best results and to retain heat, avoid opening the door
of the smoker while in use. When the door must be
opened, only open it briey. The smoker will quickly
resume cooking temperature after the door is closed.
• Always use a meat probe thermometer to ensure food
is fully cooked before removing it from the smoker.
• After each use, and after the smoker is cooled,
carefully remove the water/wood chip tray from the
bottom of the smoker, empty and clean the tray.

AFTER USE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
• If rust is present on the exterior surface of the smoker,
clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth and use
heavy duty, heat resistant paint.
• NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the
smoker. If rust is present on the interior of the smoker,
clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and
lightly coat the area with cooking oil or cooking spray to
help minimize recurring rust.
• When an LPG cylinder is not connected, and to help
prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the
hose/regulator, hang the end of the hose/regulator
from the side handle using the supplied S-hook.
• To protect your smoker from weather, always keep your
smoker covered while not in use.
• Inspect the ames at the burner by looking through the
front access hole.A good ame should be blue with a
yellow tip 2.5-5cm in length. If ames are excessively
yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may
be collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the burner
surface and the holes to improve the ames. Bad
ames may also be caused by poor gas valve orice-to-
burner attachment. Always let the smoker cool before
cleaning or checking the assembly.
• Use caution when lifting and moving the smoker to
avoid strains or back injury. Two people are
recommended to lift or move the smoker.
• DO NOT store the smoker near gasoline or other
combustible liquids or where combustible vapors may
be present.
• DO NOT store this smoker in an area accessible to
children or pets. Store the smoker in a dry, protected
location.
• DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the
smoker following use until it has cooled. It is hot during
operation.
• DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the smoker
cools completely.
• This smoker becomes extremely hot - allow the smoker
to cool completely before handling. If you must handle
smoker while it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective oven
mitts or heat resistant gloves when handling the
smoker or its components. Allow the smoker to cool
before removing and cleaning the grease pan.
• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy duty
aluminum foil and putting them in a noncombustible
container. Be sure there are no other combustible
materials in or near the container.
• If you must dispose of the ashes in less time than it
takes for them to completely cool, remove the ashes
from the smoker, keeping them in heavy duty foil, and
soak them completely with water before disposing of
them in a non-combustible container.
CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures
are to be performed only while the smoker is
turned off and cooled.
• Clean the water/wood chip tray and cooking grills with
hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may
prefer to coat the water/wood chip tray and cooking
grills lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
• Frequently check and clean the burner for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to re outside the
smoker. Also make sure the smoker does not have any
foreign objects obstructing the ow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• If your temperature gauge seems to be out of
calibration: Remove the heat indicator from the door of
the smoker by loosening and removing the mounting
nut from the inside. There is a second nut mounted on
the back of the heat indicator that can be turned to
adjust the heat indicator needle. Set the needle to the
current outdoor ambient temperature and re-mount the
heat indicator to the door of the smoker.
• To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet,
simply use a damp cloth. Spray-washing with a water
hose is not recommended. All moisture should be
wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or on
top of the smoker. Once cleaned, you may prefer to
lightly coat the interior of the smoker cabinet with
cooking oil or cooking spray.

Before Storing Your Smoker:
• Clean all surfaces.
• When cool and not in use, store your smoker indoors in
a dry location to protect against rusting.
