• DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the smoker
cools completely.
• DO NOT move the smoker while it is in use. Allow the
smoker to cool completely before moving or storing.
• This smoker becomes extremely hot - allow the smoker
to cool completely before handling. If you must handle
the smoker while it is hot, ALWAYS wear protective oven
mitts or heat resistant gloves when handling the smoker
or its components.
• NEVER use gasoline or other highly volatile fluids as a
starter. They can explode.
• The water bowl and woodchip box should not be moved
while the smoker is operating or until the smoker has
cooled sufficiently. These contain hot ashes and liquids
that may cause serious injury. If you must move these
components, ALWAYS wear protective oven mitts or heat
resistant gloves.
• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy duty
aluminum foil and putting them in a non combustible
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.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and / or
ventilation air for the smoker.
• Use caution when opening the door of the smoker while
in operation. Keep hands, face, and body safe from hot
steam or flare-ups. Protect your nose and mouth from
smoke inhalation.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating the smoker.
Tie back long hair while operating the smoker. ALWAYS
wear fully-covering shoes while operating the smoker.
• Allow the smoker and its components to cool completely

• NEVER use glassware, plastic, or ceramic cookware on
or in your smoker.
• 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.
• 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 property
damage.
WARNING WARNING

• An LP cylinder not connected for use should not be stored in the
vicinity of the smoker or any other appliance. DO NOT store
spare LP cylinders within 10 feet of the smoker. LP cylinders
must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children. DO NOT store
LP cylinders in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
• DO NOT store LP gas cylinders inside or on top of the smoker.
Improper storage of cylinders could lead to explosion, fire, and /
or personal injury. Cylinders are to be store outdoors, out of
reach of 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 gasses 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.
• Do not use the smoker if the burner fails to light or fails to remain
lit. Under such conditions, gas should be shut off and fuel
cylinders should be disconnected.
• The smoker should be shut 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 unit until
any gas leaks are fixed and / or the source of the unburned gas
odor is accounted for.
• Use under high wind conditions that result in poor burner
operation such as blowing out and flaring should be avoided. If
repositioning the unit does not improve operation under such
wind conditions, the unit should be shut off.
• All installations are to conform to local codes. In the absence of
local codes, installation should conform to the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.
• The smoker should be installed with the hose regulator assembly
extended at full length of hose directly (24” [61cm] maximum)
away from the burner. When so configured, placement results in
maximum tank to smoker distance. When the smoker is
operated, the hose / regulator and gas tank should be on a line
perpendicular to wind direction. Placing tank closer than 24”
(61cm) to the smoker can overheat the tank and cause release of
propane through relief openings and can result in tank fire or
explosion.
• The hose to tank attachment can result in a potential trip hazard
and tank tipping hazard - use caution.
• Keep the fuel supply hose away from heated surfaces.
