FIREBOX LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

1. The solid fuel should be handled in accordance with NFPA® 96.

2. Ensure the control is OFF, or in the Idle or Pause position, before opening the firebox door.

3. Use 1-3 logs, 3-5 inches in diameter, 10-12 inches long. Use green or slightly seasoned hardwoods, fruit-

woods, or charcoal (not to exceed six pounds). THE WOOD OR CHARCOAL IS ONLY USED TO

FLAVOR THE PRODUCT, NOT TO HEAT THE SMOKER.

4. Be sure to keep the wood 4” from the burner or ashes can accumulate on the burner and cause it to not

work properly.

5. Place the logs on top and inline with each other to minimize air flow around each log. This will help pro-

mote a smoldering, slow burn, which maximizes smoke.

6. The wood does not have to be lit manually; the smoker is equipped with a gas burner that will light the

wood. Combustible or flammable liquids shall not be used to assist ignition.

7. Tightly close the firebox door to prevent air from being pulled into the firebox.

CONTROL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

STANDARD DIGITAL THERMOSTAT

1. The product loading doors must be closed.

2. Turn the smoker power switch on. The control thermostat will come on and display the last temperature

used or be off.

3. Use the up/down button on the control thermostat to set the desired temperature setting.

4. After a few seconds, the LED of the control thermostat will display the actual internal temperature of the

smoker.

5. Press either the up or down button once to display the cook temperature.

6. At the end of the cook cycle, press the DOWN button on the control until “OFF” is displayed in the LED.

When the control thermostat is off the gas burner will be OFF.

NOTE: The control thermostat does not control the length of the cook cycle; it will maintain the cook set

point until it is turned off.

CAUTION:

 Remove coals and ashes from previous cook cycle before loading new wood

into the firebox. Refer to Ash Removal Instructions on page 23.

 Do not use dry wood or kindling.

 Do not overload firebox. Too much wood or charcoal can cause overheating

of the smoker. Keep wood at least 4 inches from the burner.

 Do not allow ashes in or near the burner opening.
