If your temperature
gauge seems to be out of calibration:
Remove the heat indicator from the door of the smoker
by loosening and removing the mounting nut from the
inside. There is a second nut mounted on the back of the
heat indicator that can be turned to adjust the heat
indicator needle. Set the needle to the current outdoor
ambient temperature
and re-mount the heat indicator to
the door of the smoker.
• To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet,
simply use a clamp cloth. Spray-washing
with a water
hose is not recommended.
All moisture should be wiped
away and not allowed to stand inside or on top of the
smoker. Carefully remove the grease pan, dispose the
grease, and wash thoroughly. Once cleaned, you may
prefer to lightly coat the interior of the smoker cabinet
with cooking oil or cooking spray.
If rust is present on the exterior surface of the smoker,
clean the area with steel wool or emery cloth and use
heavy duty, heat resistant paint.
NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the
smoker. If rust is present on the interior of the smoker,
clean it thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth and
lightly coat the area with cooking oil or cooking spray to
help minimize recurring rust.
• When an LP tank is not connected,
and to help prevent
dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the
hose/regulator,
hang the end of the hose/regulator
from
the side handle using the supplied S-hook.
• To protect your smoker from weather, always keep your
smoker covered while not in use.
Inspect the flames at the burner by looking through the
front access hole.A good flame should be blue with a
yellow tip 1" to 2" in length. If flames
are excessively
yellow and irregular, oil residue and food deposits may
be collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the burner
surface and the holes to improve the flames.
Bad flames
may also be caused by poor gas valve orifice-to-burner
attachment.
Always let the smoker cool before cleaning
or checking the assembly.
