SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR SMOKER. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS,
WARNINGS AND SAFEGUARDS BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.
AFTER USE SAFETY & MAINTENANCE
!Use caution when lifting and moving the Smoker to avoid strains or back injury. Two people are recommended to lift or move the
Smoker.
!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 noncombustible container.
.CAUTION : All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed only while the Smoker is turned off and cooled.
.Clean the Water Bowl and Cooking Racks with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may prefer to coat the Water
Bowl and Cooking Racks lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray.
. Frequently check and clean the Venturi and Burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to re outside the smoker.
. Check to be sure the Heat Indicator remains accurate. Simply loosen and remove 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.
.If rust is present on the exterior surface of the Smoker, clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth and lightly coat the area with
cooking oil or cooking spray to help minimize recurring rust.
. When an LP tank is not connected, and to help prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the HVR, hang the end of the
HVR hose from the side Handle using the supplied S-Hook, as reviewed in ASSEMBLY STEP 12.
. Inspect the ames at the Burner by looking through the front access hole. A good ame should be blue with a yellow tip up to 1”
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 HVR-to-Venturi attachment.
Always let the Smoker cool before cleaning or checking the assembly.
.To protect your Smoker from weather, always keep your Smoker covered while not in use.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before each use, clean and inspect the hose and the connection to the LP cylinder. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear,
cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced before the Smoker is used. Refer to the “CHECK FOR GAS LEAK” instructions in the LP tank
connection portion of this manual.
1. Fill the Smoking Box / Wood Chip Box with avored wood chips and place the Wood Chip Box inside the Smoker as instructed in the
assembly section of this manual.
2. Place the Water Bowl inside the Smoker in the lowest rack position as explained in the “ASSEMBLY STEP 8” section of this
manual. Carefully ll the Water Bowl with water or marinade up to 1 inch 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 Water Bowl.
3. Insert or adjust the Cooking Racks into the desired rack positions. For better access to the food with tongs or spatulas, make sure
the Racks run from front to back as explained in the “ASSEMBLY STEP 8” section of this manual.
4. You are now ready to light the Burner. Refer to “LIGHTING PROCEDURES” In this manual. The heat from the Burner will allow the
wood chips to burn, causing the avoring smoke to accumulate. Adjust the Dampers to control the heat.
5. Place the food on the Cooking Racks in a single layer with space between each piece. This will allow smoke and hot moisture to
circulate evenly around all the food pieces.
6. Smoking for 2 to 3 hours at the ideal constant cooking temperature of 225°F to 250°F will get the best results. This temperature is
according to the Heat Indicator 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.
7. Check water level periodically and add water if low. Never allow the water to completely evaporate. Check the water level at least
every 2 hours or as necessary. 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.
8. Always use a meat probe thermometer (not included) to ensure food is fully cooked before removing it from the Smoker.

LIGHTING PROCEDURES
IGNITOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
1. Check all connections for leaks using the “soapy water” test as explained in the “CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!” section of this manual.
2. Open the Smoker Cabinet Door.
3. Check for any blockage to the Venturi Tube or Burner. Remove any foreign objects or matter.
4. Be sure the burner control knob is in the “OFF” position.
5. Open the LP cylinder valve 1-1/2 turns by turning counter-clockwise
6. To light unit with the Rotary Ignitor, push in and turn the Burner Control Knob counterclockwise to the high setting.
7. Immediately rotate the Ignitor Knob clockwise until you hear it click several times (you should see a small spark jumping from the
end of the electrode rod to the side of the burner). If the Burner doesn’t light within 3 to 5 seconds, turn the Burner Control Knob
“OFF” and wait ve minutes 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, close the Door to allow heat to accumulate. The Dampers can then be adjusted to the desired setting to
allow proper air ow and combustion. Damper adjustment tips are listed below.
MATCH LIGHTING
1. Follow steps 1 thru 5 of the “IGNITOR LIGHTING SYSTEM” instructions above.
2. Remove the Wood Chip Box and the Wood Chip Box Stand from inside the Smoker.
Light a paper match and drop it into the Burner Chamber, making sure it falls next
to the brass Burner. FIGURE 1. Quickly turn the Burner Control Knob to the light
position. If the Burner does not light within 4 to 5 seconds, turn the Burner Control
Knob off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the process.
DAMPER ADJUSTMENTS
. For better performance, rotate the Smoker to where the front or back of the Cabinet is facing the wind. This allows the adjustment
of the Dampers to be more effective and accurate.
. The Dampers should NEVER be fully closed.
. Opening a side Damper allows more oxygen to be consumed by the re, fueling the ames and causing an increase in temperature.
. Opening the top Damper helps to exhaust both the heat and smoke.
. The key to effective smoking is to watch your Heat Indicator on the Door and adjust the Dampers accordingly.
. Temperature maintenance is best controlled by different Damper adjustment congurations.
. CAUTION: Keep the Dampers open a minimum of 10% at all times.
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 LP 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 “AFTER
USE SAFETY & MAINTENANCE” for proper storage procedures and the important warnings and safeguards.

SEASONING YOUR SMOKER
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 “break -in” Process.
. 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 175°F) for 45-60 Minutes. Let the
Smoker cool, and clean out the used water and wood.
. Once the seasoning is complete, your Smoker’s interior will have a durable, seasoned coating.
ADDING WATER TO YOUR SMOKER
. To add water BEFORE cooking, simply remove the Water Bowl and ll it with heated water up to 1” below the rim. Then replace the
Water Bowl to the bottom of the Rack.
. To add water WHILE the Smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the Water Bowl out beyond the Rack! The water and the Water Bowl will be
extremely HOT!
. To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can or jug with a long spout.
. Line the Water Bowl with aluminum foil before each use. This will make it easier to clean and extend the life of the Water Bowl.
ADDING WOOD/CHARCOAL TO YOUR SMOKER
. To add wood chips BEFORE cooking, simply ll the Wood Chip Box with your choice of avoring hardwood chips. The amount and
type of wood you use is entirely up to you. One full box is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once the Wood Chip Box
is lled, place the Wood Chip Box Lid on top of the Wood Chip Box and set the Wood Chip Box in the Smoker.
. To add wood chips WHILE cooking, we recommend using tongs or long handled pliers to remove the Wood Chip Box Lid and to
place the pieces into the Wood Chip Box without removing it. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED to remove the Wood Chip Box while
the Smoker is in operation.
CAUTION: The Wood Chip Box and the Wood Chip Box Lid get very HOT! Avoid handling them while in use. ALWAYS wear
protective oven mitts when handling hot components!
WOOD FLAVOR CHOICES FOR YOUR SMOKER
Small wood chips work best inside the Wood Chip Box. Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. 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, pre-soak 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.
NOTE: To catch drippings that may come from the bottom of the Smoker, place a metal tray underneath.

HARDWARE HARDWARE BAG
1. Using the Zip Tie, secure the Hose to underside of the Control Panel. FIGURE 10
2. Tighten the zip tie so that there is no slack remaining. DO NOT over-tighten the
Zip Tie to help prevent the hose from coming into contact with the hot Burner
Chamber. OVER-TIGHTENING may restrict gas ow and could damage the
gas line.
3. Inspect the installation underneath the Smoker to ensure that the Hose is not
rubbing any portion of the Burner Chamber.
4. Carefully turn the Smoker upright onto its Legs.
ASSEMBLY STEP 5
DAMPER PLATE INSTALLATION
After all connections are completed, check all connections and ttings for leaks with a soap solution.
. With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dish washing detergent and water)
to all gas carrying connections and ttings.
. Open tank valve.
. Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak.
. If Leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, IMMEDIATELY shut off the valve and repair the
leak or replace the defective part. Do not use the Smoker until all leaks are corrected!
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!
SET-UP TIPS
. When setting up the smoker and tank, it is recommended to have the tank and smoker on a line perpendicular to the wind direction.
. The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended to the maximum distance so that the hose is straight and the tank is as
far from the smoker as it can be.
.LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position only.
. Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose from damage from either foot or vehicle trafc.
. If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder and the cylinder should be disconnected from the
appliance.
. Storage of the Smoker indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the Smoker.

5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand
only. DO NOT use tools.
CAUTION: In the gas connection process, when threading the HVP Hose to the LP tank valve
some resistance will be encountered. This is normal when seating the valve. Seating the valve
requires about one-half to three-quarters additional turns to complete the connection.
.Any fuel supply cylinder used must be constructed and marked in accordance with
specications for propane cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) CFR 49,
or CAN/CSA B339. The appliance is to be used only with the 20 pound, vertical
standing vapor withdrawal type tank.
(A) Do not store tanks under or near the Smoker.
(B) Never ll tanks more than 80% full.
If instruction A and B above are not followed exactly, a re causing death or serious injury may occur.
.This Smoker is designed to operate on LP (Liqueed Propane) gas only.
. The 20 lb LP cylinder used with this Smoker must conform to the following requirements: Diameter- 12” (30.5cm), Height- 18”
(45.7cm), with a Maximum Capacity of 20 pounds.
. The gas cylinder used must include a collar to protect the cylinder valve. The cylinder supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
.The instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks have to be followed when lling or transporting tanks. Failure to do so could
result in problems relating to overlling, excessive venting release of gas and to regulator freezing.
. Do not allow dirt or foreign material to get into or onto tank connection when it is not attached to the fuel supply system. Use the
protective cap provided.
Cylinders must be lled before initial use. All handling, transport, lling and storage of LP gas cylinders must be in accordance with NFPA 58
Storage and Handling of Liquid Petroleum Gases, or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation Code. Cylinders must be suitably tied down during
transport. Do not place any other items on top of cylinders at any time. Cylinders are not to be exposed to excessive temperatures or high heat.
