Lighting Procedure
Ignitor Lighting System:
Match Lighting:
1. Check all connections for leaks using the "soapy water”
test as explained on page 16.
2. Open the smoker cabinet door.
3. Check for any blockage to the venturi tube or burner.
Remove any foreign objects or matter.
4. Be sure the burner control knob is in the "OFF" position.
5. Open the LP cylinder valve 1 ½ turns by turning counter-
clockwise.
6. To light unit with the electronic ignitor, push in and turn
the burner control knob counter-clockwise to the high
setting.
7. Immediately push the ignitor button - you will hear rapid
clicks (you should see a small spark jumping from the
end of the electrode rod to the side of the burner). If the
burner doesn't light within 3 to 5 seconds, turn the
burner control knob off and wait five minutes before
repeating the steps again. If the burner still fails to light,
try match lighting the smoker using the instructions
noted below.
8. Once the burner is lit, then close the door to allow heat
to accumulate. The dampers can then be adjusted to the
desired setting to allow proper air flow and combustion.
Damper adjustment tips are listed on the next page.
1. Repeat steps 1 thru 5 of the Ignitor Lighting System
above.
2. Remove the Wood Chip Box and its stand from inside
the smoker. Light a paper match and drop it into the burn
chamber, making sure it falls next to the brass burner.
Quickly turn the control knob to the light position. If the
burner does not light within 4 or 5 seconds, turn the
control knob off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the process.
If the burner flame should go out during operation, immediately
turn off the gas at the burner control valve and cylinder. Wait
5 minutes before re-lighting the unit.
