CARE & USE/INSTALLATION

VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE

Be certain any visible damage to the carton is noted on

freight bill or express receipt and signed by the person

making delivery.

FILE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IMMEDIATELY, regardless of

extent of damage.

CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE

If damage is unnoticed until the smoker is unpacked, notify

the transportation company or carrier immediately and ﬁle

a “concealed damage” claim with them. This should be

done within (5) days of the date delivery is made to you. Be

sure to hold on to the container for inspection. We cannot

assume responsibility for damage or loss incurred in transit.

(See INDEX: “Obtaining Service from Lynx” for further

details.)

• Never locate the smoker under a roof or overhang, in a building, garage, shed or other such enclosed area.

• Installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage and

Handling Code, B149.2, in Canada.

IMPORTANT NOTES

WHERE’S THE WIND?

When selecting a suitable location, consider important

factors such as exposure to the wind and foot-trafﬁc

patterns.

If you have a freestanding smoker, position it so the prevail-

ing wind blows into the front control panel (at your back

when smoking), supporting the proper front-to-rear airﬂow.

Built-in smokers located in areas with prevailing winds

should be protected by a wind barrier.

Winds hitting the back of the smoker directly may cause

problems, as well as wind blowing along the hood gap.

HOW LONG IS YOUR RUN?

Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible because gas

lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow and

tee that is added. This drop in pressure affects smoker

performance. (See INDEX: “Gas Supply Line Runs” for

further details.)

ARE YOU “ON-THE-LEVEL”?

Proper leveling during installation is critical. A smoker that

is out of level will cause erratic burner combustion and

inefﬁcient, uneven heating. A carpenter’s spirit level

should be used to level the smoker both front-to-back and

side-to-side.

If the ﬂoor is uneven or has a decided slope, re-leveling

may be required each time you move a freestanding unit.

Be sure wind doesn’t blow into the hood gap.
