cylinders of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes
for the Transportation for Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
• Never use gas cylinder if there is evidence of dents, gouges, bulges, fi re damage, erosion, leakage,
excessive rust, or other forms of visible external damage. This may be hazardous and cylinder should be
taken to a liquid propane supplier to be checked.
• Never attach/disconnect gas cylinder, move or alter gas fi ttings when unit is in operation.
• Always disconnect gas cylinder from unit when not in use.
• Unit is designed to work with propane gas only. Only use gas cylinders marked propane with this unit.
• This product will NOT operate with natural gas.

and fi nally disconnect the cylinder.
• Gas MUST be turned off at the supply cylinder when not in use.
• Cylinder MUST be stored outdoors, out of children’s reach and must NOT be stored in a building, garage, or
any other enclosed area.
• Do NOT store spare LP gas cylinder under or near unit. Gas cylinder safety relief valve may overheat
allowing gas to release causing fi re which may cause death or serious injury.
• Never fi ll cylinder over 80% full or cylinder may release gas causing re which may cause death or serious
injury.
• Place a dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever cylinder is not in use. Only install dust cap provided with

• If you smell, hear or see gas escaping, immediately get away from gas cylinder and call the Fire Department.
Fire may cause death or serious injury.
• Reference ignition steps before use.
• Never use lighter fl uid with propane.
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke fl avor.
• Flame disk bowl/ wood chip tray/bowl is HOT when unit is in use. Use caution when adding wood.
• Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to be
emptied periodically during cooking.
• Do not open upper smoker door(s) unless necessary. Opening smoker door(s) causes heat to escape, which
may cause extended cooking time and may cause wood to fl are up. Closing the door(s) will re-stabilize the
temperature and stop fl are up.
• This is a smoker. There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through
seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door(s), door
latch(s) can be adjusted to further tighten door seal against body.
• To adjust door handle/latch, loosen the two screws that mount the door hook to the smoker body. Slide the
door hook forward or rearward as needed to achieve the desired door seal. Then retighten the two door
hook screws. Be sure not to set the door handle/latch too tight as it could cause damage to the unit and
make it diffi cult to operate. The door should be adjusted so that it closes completely.
• When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m), additional
cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a meat thermometer to test
internal temperature.
• Do not use wood pellets.
• Food needs to be in the center of smoking racks. This allows food drippings to go into the water bowl.
• Do not leave old wood or ashes in the fl ame disk bowl/wood chip tray/bowl. Once ashes are cold, empty
bowl/tray. Bowl/tray should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash and residue buildup.
• Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-
combustible container.
• Do not store unit with HOT ashes inside unit.
