Proper Care
& Maintenance
WARNING: Use extreme care when lifting basket out of pan. Always grip
pan handle with one hand while lifting basket with the other.
Failure to do so could create a situation where you pull the pan
off the burner spilling the contents onto yourself or someone
else. Always hang basket directly over pan as illustrated. This
allows hot liquid to drip back into the pan. Hanging the basket
in any other way could cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot
liquid. Always use hot pad to protect hands.
Step 9
When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane tank valve OFF
first, then turn the control knob OFF.
Step 10
Allow cooker to cool completely, then follow instructions in the ”After-Use
Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections on page 6 of this
manual.
• Cure your smoker periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust.
• Wash cooking grills and charcoal grate with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grills
and grate with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
• Clean inside and outside of smoker by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable
oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your smoker, clean and buff the affected area with steel
wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant paint.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned,
then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.

WARNING

Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). Store outdoors in a well ventilated, shaded area, away
from any heat source or open flame and away from children’s reach.
Turn the cooker "ON" and "OFF" with the propane tank valve; use the control knob ONLY to adjust the flame. Read all
warnings on or accompanying propane tank.
Disconnect the propane tank from the cooker when not in use. A safety plug should be placed in the propane tank valve.
• Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pan over an open flame; the bottom of
the pan could melt. Do not use plastic, ceramic or glassware. Any pan larger than the retaining ring will rest on top of the ring.
Use caution to avoid knocking pan from retaining ring.
• Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquid.
In some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required. If spill-over/boil-over occurs, check
to make sure flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could accumulate causing a highly flammable, very dangerous
situation. Allow gas to dissipate prior to relighting cooker.
• In case of grease fire, do not use water to extinguish flame. Turn gas OFF at propane tank and use fire extinguisher approved
for use with gas appliances or other appropriate means to extinguish flame.
• Only use replacement/accessory parts manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation. Repairs should be performed by The
Brinkmann Corporation.
• Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F in cooking chamber. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of the
firebox and cooking chamber. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your smoker. Extinguished coals
and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which
may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• After each use, clean the smoker thoroughly and reapply a light coat of oil to interior to prevent rusting. Cover the smoker to
protect it from the weather.
• Use caution when lifting or moving smoker to prevent strains and back injuries. Moving smoker may require the help of an
additional person.
• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.
• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not recommended and
may lead to personal injury or property damage.
• Store the smoker out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
• Do not attempt to service smoker other than normal maintenance as explained in “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care &
Maintenance” sections of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.
• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
