WARNING
• Only use this smoker on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of
the smoker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.
• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the smoker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or
construction should be maintained at all times when smoker is in use. Do not place smoker under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.
• FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Do not operate smoker indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.
• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to
use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away
from smoker.
• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker box door open until covered with a light ash (approximately
20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in
smoker and may result in a flash fire or explosion when smoker box door is opened.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
• Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when
smoker is in use.
• Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.
• When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking”
section of this manual.
• To avoid overturning/spilling pan of hot liquid, never pull water pan bracket out more than 4”. Refer to the illustration in “Adding
Water During Cooking” section of this manual.
• Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
