The regulator/hose
assembly should be handled carefully to
prevent contamination
by foreign
objects and dirt. Clean
and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If
there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose
must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into
operation. In order to insure proper operation, any
replacement of the fuel tank regulator assembly has to be
done with parts authorized
by the smoker manufacturer.
This unit is not to be utilized with a non-self-contained
LP-
gas supply system.
Valve/pressure
regulators are factory
set to the correct
operating pressures.
No attempts should be made to adjust
these settings!
CHECKING
FOR LEAKS
After all connections
are completed, check all connections
and fittings
for leaks with a soap solution.
With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution
(50/50 mix of dishwashing
detergent and water) to all gas
carrying connections,
fittings
and to tank seams.
Open tank valve.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a
gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas,
shut off the valve and repair the leak or replace the
defective part. Do not use the smoker until all leaks are
corrected.
When setting up the smoker and tank, it is
recommended to have the tank and smoker on a line
perpendicular
to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator
assembly should be totally
extended to the maximum distance so that the hose is
straight and the tank is as far from the smoker as it can
be.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright
position only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose
from damage from either foot or vehicle traffic.
If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off
at the supply cylinder and the cylinder should be
disconnected
from the appliance.
Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible
if
the cylinder is disconnected
and removed from the
appliance.
PRE-USE
PROCEDURES
Before you cook food in your smoker, it is important to
"season"
your smoker. Seasoning seals the paint and
interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring,
durability, and
overall performance. This is also referred to as the "break-
in" process.
If your smoker requires any touch-up paint on the inside of
the cabinet, the only time you should apply paint to the
inside is before the seasoning
process. Paint should not be
applied to the interior of your smoker after your smoker
has been used. Paint toxins may contaminate
your food.
However, if paint becomes necessary after use, see the
section in this manual concerning After Use Care and
Maintenance.
To season your smoker, simply use it as you normally
would; only do not cook any food. You will need to follow
all of the operating procedures
in the next few sections of
this manual.
Using your desired flavoring
woods and marinades, burn
your smoker at low temperature
(around 125°F [50°C]) for
45-60 minutes. Let the smoker cool, and clean out the used
water and wood.
Once seasoning
is complete, your smoker's interior will
have a durable, seasoned coating.
ADDING WATER
To add water before cooking, simply remove the water bowl
and fill it with water up to 1" (2.5cm) below the rim. Then
replace the bowl to the bottom of the rack.
To add water while the smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the
water bowl out beyond the rack.
Cooking Tips:
Line the water bowl with aluminum foil before each use.
This will make it easy to clean and help your water bowl
last longer.
To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean
watering can with a long spout.
