A certified electrician and/or plumber must perform the initial installation and startup of
the smoke producer.
The smoke producer must be installed with a minimum of 12-in. of horizontal clearance
from any part of the cabinet, gas burner assembly and smokehouse. It is the owner’s
responsibility to insure that the smoke producer installation conforms to all local, state,
and national codes and regulations.
For safe operation, the smoke producer must be kept clean. A thorough weekly cleaning
schedule is recommended with a basic daily cleanup procedure. Check the ductwork
and natural smoke pipe for tar and creosote buildup on a regular, frequent basis. Failure
to keep the unit clean and free of grease, tar, and creosote build-ups exposes you to
potential severe fire hazards. See the MAINTENANCE Section for additional details on
cleaning your smoke producer.

Installation
1. Place the smoke producer in position on the control side of the Grand Prize™ 3
smokehouse. Connect the smoke inlet pipes between the smoke producer and the
smokehouse after both units have been leveled.
2. Connect a cold water supply line (¼-in. copper) to the fire safety solenoid valve on the
side of the smoke producer.
3. Connect power cord provided with smoke producer to AC receptacle (120-volt, 15 amps).
4. If smokehouse is equipped with a CookMaster™ microprocessor control, connect control
wires provided with unit to the smoke producer as shown in SCHEMATICS Page 16.
5. The smoke producer is equipped with a cycle timer that operates the auger drive motor
intermittently. The timer is preset at the factory for approximately 20% on and 80% off
(refer to OPERATION Page 11). This percentage can be adjusted to increase or decrease
smoke production. See timer instructions on OPERATION Page 11.
6. The small blower mounted on the side of the smoke producer has an air inlet cover
plate. This cover plate must be opened approximately half way when the smoke
producer is in operation. If the cover plate is kept closed, it will result in poor circulation
of smoke within the cabinet and there will be excessive leakage around the seams of the
smoke producer itself.
7. The safety switch is factory set – do not adjust.

Installation
The smoke producer must be installed with a minimum 12-in. clearance surrounding the
cabinet. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the smoke producer installation
conforms to all local, state, and national codes and regulations.
When planning your installation, consider:
1. Open door, swing/floor relationships.
2. Maneuvering of product in and out of the house.
3. Access to the back of the smokehouse for wiring and heating element maintenance.
Connection to Smokehouse
The Grand Prize™ 3 smokehouse is supplied with pipe to make the connection between the
smokehouse and the smoke producer. Pipe couplings are provided to join these segments
together.
Liquid Smoke Option
Specific information on a UltraSource Manual Liquid Smoke System (p/n 320 046) is
covered in a separate owner’s manual. If used, the owner would need to provide a
minimum of 4 c.f.m. at 60 p.s.i. (2 horsepower) clean, compressed air and all necessary
piping. A stainless steel tank is normally mounted on the rear of the house at center. Holes
would be added at the lower center of the house for necessary plumbing. The automatic
unit (p/n 320 048) requires electric wiring for solenoid operated air and liquid smoke valves.

Smoke Producer
Operating Instructions
1. Load the hopper with sawdust.
2. If smokehouse is equipped with a manual control:
a. Turn the burner switch to the ‘ON’ position.
b. After burner plate is fully heated (approximately fifteen minutes), turn the blower switch
to the ‘ON’ position.
3. Smoke production begins. If not, check to see if scraper blade is turning on top of the
burner plate.
4. The burner plate can be adjusted up or down. Be sure that the blade is not jammed
tightly against the burn plate. If sawdust “flare-up” becomes a problem, the burner plate
should be moved down between 1/8-in. and ¼-in. below the scraper blade. This will
allow a build-up of ash on the burner plate, which, in turn, keeps the fresh sawdust away
from the hot burner plate.
5. Screening of sawdust is strongly recommended. The use of wood chips or strips of wood
is not recommended, as they tend to clog the auger feeder.
6. Remove the ashes daily.
7. The hopper section should be removed for cleaning at the end of each day. Use a wire
brush to clean the burner plate. While the hopper plate is removed, check that the tube
that directs air from the blower out of the smoke producer is in position. This is important
for proper operation.
