WARNING
Only use this smoker and fryer attachment on a hard, level, noncombustible, 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/fryer attachment and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences,
buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when smoker and fryer attachment are in use. Do not place
smoker and fryer attachment under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.
For household use only. Do not use this smoker or fryer attachment for other than their intended purpose.
For outdoor use only. Do not operate smoker or fryer attachment indoors or in an enclosed area. In windy weather, place smoker
and fryer attachment in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
Do not leave smoker or fryer attachment unattended when hot or in use. Only adults are to operate this smoker and fryer
attachment; keep children and pets safely away. Carefully monitor all activity around cooker to avoid burns or other injuries.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products will cause an explosion
possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
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 manufacturers 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 and fryer attachment.
When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker lids and dampers 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 lid is opened.
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback or explosion may occur causing severe burns.
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
Never add charcoal and/or wood through firebox side door or firebox air vent. When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme
caution and follow instructions in Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking section of this manual.
When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support bracket. If lid is not resting against
the bracket, it could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.
The firebox lid will be extremely hot during use. Use caution when reaching into or under smoker. Always wear oven mitts or
gloves to protect your hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
Never move smoker or fryer attachment when they are in use or when they contain hot liquid, or hot coals or ashes.
Do not store or use smoker or fryer attachment near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may
be present.
Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.
Whether smoking or grilling, a metal bucket or tin can must be kept under the grease hole at all times to catch grease drippings
and or hot embers. Check grease and/or ash level in metal bucket often and empty or change when w full. Use extreme caution as
the smoker, metal bucket or tin can and its contents will be hot.
