WITHTHEFOLLOWINGINSTRUCTIONS.
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure
you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new charcoal smoker. We also advise you retain this manual
for future reference.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,
to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any unit
being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
1. A minimum clearance of 2m (78 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the unit must be maintained. Do
not install appliance on non-combustible floors, or floors protected with non-combustible surfaces unless proper
permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. This appliance must not be placed under
overhead combustible ceiling, overhang, awnings, parasol or gazebo. Do not use on decking or any other combustible surfaces
such as dry grass, wood chips, leaf mulch, or decorative bark. Do not use this product in a tent, caravan, car, cellar, loft or
boat. Keep your unit in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, close the lid until the fire is out. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to
smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an
uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
2. Do not use this smoker as a furnace. This product is intended for outdoor use only. Do not use indoors.
Fire hazard: May emit hot embers while in use. Do not transport your unit while in use or while the unit
is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the unit is completely cool to the touch before moving.
3. This product will become very hot, and serious injury may occur. Never leave a burning fire unattended. Keep young children
and pets away while in use. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the unit. Do
not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance.
This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction
by a person responsible for their safety.
4. After a period of storage, or non-use, inspect the unit prior to use for fatigue and damage, and replace as and when necessary.
Clean before use. If the unit is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, unit should be dried out
before performing any service or maintenance. Use a cover, if available.

EN
ENGLISH
5. It is highly recommended that you use lump charcoal in your smoker. It burns for longer and produces less ash, which can
restrict the airflow. Do not use coal in this product. Charcoal not included.
Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your
unit. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes, or soot, should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are
disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon
monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless,
odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
WARNING! DO NOT USE SPIRIT OR PETROL FOR LIGHTING OR RE-LIGHTING.

The heart of your smoker lies in the relationship between the Air Intake Pipes and the Chimney dampers. Opening the dampers
allows more air to flow through the body of the smoker, allowing the charcoal to burn very hot and create fiery embers. To
cook at lower temperatures, keep the Air Intake Pipes and the Chimney dampers open only a small distance, allowing for
minimal airflow and maximum heat retention in the Barrel Body of the smoker.
To ensure the smoker performs correctly, proper maintenance and cleanout of the Charcoal Basket are essential. If the smoker
is not achieving the desired temperature, check to ensure that there is proper airflow from the Air Intake Pipes and that the
Chimney is not blocked.
TIP: The smoker can run efficiently over extended periods of time as long as there is dry and sufficient fuel,
proper airflow, and the cooking components are clean.

Before using your smoker for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Starting the smoker and operating
at a minimum of 177°C / 350°F with the lid closed for 30 to 40 minutes will burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.
 
Ensure the smoker is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat-resistant non-flammable surface, away from flammable items.
Position the smoker with a minimum of 2 m / 78 in overhead clearance and at least 2 m / 78 in clearance from combustible
constructions.
1. Open the Lid of the Barrel Body.
2. Unlatch the Door Buckles and open the Charcoal Refill Door. Place some lighter cubes or solid firelighters into the Charcoal
Basket and then load two or three handfuls of lump charcoal - filling the Charcoal Basket approximately 2/3 full.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline, spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or
relighting the fire.
3. Light the lighter cubes or solid firelighters using a long-nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught, slowly and
carefully close the Charcoal Refill Door (using the Door Handle) and keep the Lid of the Barrel Body open for about 10 minutes
to build a small bed of hot embers. Also, open the Air Intake Pipe dampers completely to encourage airflow.
IMPORTANT: Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash. It is recommended that you do not stoke or
turn the coals once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.
4. Allow the charcoal to heat up and adjust the Chimney and Air Intake Pipe dampers to reach your desired temperature.
 
With the Chimney closed, the smoker will stay at a high temperature for several hours. If you require a longer cooking time (e.g.
when roasting a whole cut or slow-smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal.
1. Unlatch the Door Buckles and open the Charcoal Refill Door using heat-resistant gloves.
2. Carefully, add additional lump charcoal to the Charcoal Basket.
3. Close the Charcoal Refill Door and latch the Door Buckles to seal.
IMPORTANT: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in
your smoker. Also, do not attempt to add more fire starter into a fire that is already burning or into a hot
Charcoal Basket. This may cause injury.
