UNLOADING THE SMOKER

Smokers Shipped via Common Carrier

Remove the crated smoker from the truck using the appropriate forklift. Note any damage to the crate, smoker

or accessories. Do not sign the delivery bill until the smoker has been inspected and any damage noted

on the delivery bill.

The smoker is shipped strapped to a wooden pallet with an industrial cardboard carton. Once the smoker is in

a level and safe place remove the cardboard carton and open the product loading door. Plastic zip ties secure a

cardboard box to one of the product racks of the smoker. Remove the cardboard box from the product rack.

Cardboard covers protect each product rack during shipment. Remove the cardboard protectors from each

product rack. Located on top of the wooden pallet are two (2) wooden ramps. Fasten the ramps to the edge of

the wooden pallet using the metal clasps located on the end of the pallet and ramps. The smoker is secured to

the wooden pallet with metal banding straps. A 2 x 4 prevents the smoker from moving. After removing the

banding straps securing the smoker to the wooden pallet and the 2 x 4 (with a Phillips screwdriver), release the

brakes on each of the smokers casters. Then the smoker can be slowly and carefully rolled down the ramps

secured to the pallet.

Smokers Shipped via Contract Hauler

The driver will unload the smoker from the trailer. Once the smoker is in a level and safe place remove the

white protective wrap from the outside of the smoker and open the product loading door. Plastic zip ties se-

cure a cardboard box to one of the product racks of the smoker. Remove the cardboard box from the product

rack. Cardboard covers protect each product rack during shipment. Remove the cardboard protectors from

each product rack.

SITE INSTRUCTIONS

The Southern Pride smoker must be installed in a location that will permit the smoker to function for its in-

tended purpose and to allow adequate clearance for ventilation, proper cleaning, and maintenance access.

Minimum Clearance Requirement from Combustible Material

Back…...18” (457mm) Front…………….……...48” (1219mm)

Top…….18” (457mm) Right & Left Side...……...2” (51mm)

NOTE: If provision is made for service access, back clearance can be

reduced to 2” (51mm).

WARNING: Failure to maintain proper safety, storage, handling, and ash removal for solid fuel

appliances on or around combustible materials may result in fire, property damage and/or death.

Our product listing allows for the smoker to be installed on a combustible surface however,

Southern Pride recommends the use of a noncombustible material for the floor surface area under

the fire box, which should extend at least 6” beyond each side of the fire box, and outward from

the smoker beyond the area needed for placement of the ash container.
