GAS CYLINDER (TANK) INSTRUCTIONS
LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) SPECIFICATIONS:
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with all applicable local codes, or the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 NFPA 54.
When purchasing or exchanging a cylinder for your gas smoker, it must be:
1. Constructed and marked in accordance with the specications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), and
2. Provided with a listed over-lling prevention device (OPD), and
3. Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking appliance.
1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
2. Place the cylinder into the tank support bracket on the bottom of the left brace. Then place tank retention
wire over cylinder handle and secure tightly.
3. Position the cylinder such that the hose is not kinked or damaged.
4. Make sure tank sits securely in tank support bracket.
INSTALLING THE LP GAS CYLINDER (TANK) ONTO THE SMOKER:
1. Inspect the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or deterioration
prior to use. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas leak, possibly resulting
in an explosion, re or severe bodily harm. Do not use a propane tank with a
damaged rubber seal.
2. Attach or detach regulator to the LP gas cylinder only when cylinder is sitting
in tank holder.
3. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the knob clockwise.
4. Check that the smoker’s burner control knobs are in the “OFF” positions.
5. Visually inspect the hose assembly prior to each use for evidence of damage,
excess wear, or deterioration. If found, replace the assembly before using your
smoker. Only the manufacturer’s supplied replacement should be used.
6. Remove the protective plastic cap from the cylinder valve.
7. Check that the hose does not contain kinks, does not contact sharp edges, and does not contact surfaces that may
become hot during use.
8. Hold regulator and insert the brass nipple into the LP cylinder valve outlet. Ensure that the device is centered properly.
9. Turn the large coupling nut clockwise by hand and tighten to a full stop. Take care not to cross thread the
coupling nut onto the cylinder valve. Do not use tools to tighten connection. Note: If you are unable to make the
connection, repeat Steps 7 and 8.
The cylinder must also be equipped with:
• A shut-o valve terminating in a Type 1 gas cylinder valve outlet.
• A Type 1 valve that prevents gas ow until a positive seal is obtained.
• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal.
• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-o valve.
• A safety relief device having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
• A listed over-lling prevention device (OPD).
BEFORE STORING YOUR SMOKER:
• Ensure that the cylinder valve is fully closed.
• Clean all surfaces. Lightly coat the burners with cooking oil to prevent excess rusting.
• If storing the smoker indoors, disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank OUTDOORS.
• Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
