Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555 In Washington, DC [phone], 10:00 am-4:00 pm EST.

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your appliance.
• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be cooked to 145^ F.
• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

General Appliance Cleaning

• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill cleaner with scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain the high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

Safety Precautions while cooking:

- The exterior surfaces of your smoker can become extremely hot during use. Be sure to wear insulated oven mitts or gloves before making adjustments to the Top Damper or when opening the Smoker door.

Water Level

- Watch water level. Always keep water in water pan (unless you wish to brown your food), Food can burn quickly if water completely evaporates. When using smoker, be very careful when adding water to the hot smoker.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner

assembly or if you have trouble igniting appliance.

1. Turn gas off at control knob and LP cylinder and disengage regulator from cylinder.

2. Remove the smoker drawer and water pan, shown A.

3. Remove the Electrode Wire from the Rotary Ignitor, shown B.

4. Remove 4 Control Panel screws and nuts. Shown C

5. Disengage Control Panel/control Valve from burner..

6. Slide Control Panel Assembly from unit, shown D.

7. Clean inner burner as recommended below, shown E.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tube. Use the one easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run hook through burner tube several times.

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

1. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

2. Attach electrode to burner.

3. Carefully replace control panel assembly

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tube must re-engage over valve

opening. See illustration, shown F.

1. Reverse steps for re-assembly.

Setup Instructions

Using Wood Chips or Chunks

- Dried aromatic wood chips or chunks need to be saturated with water, so that when placed in the water pan, a smoldering smoke will result. Wood chips or chunks can be soaked too long; however, 2 hours is adequate. As a rule of thumb, use wood chunks for smoking 3 or more hours and wood chips when smoking less than 3 hours. Start with 3 wood chunks or 1 12 cups of wood chips.

Water Reservoir

Wood Chips or Chunks

Spray inside door and body with nonstick vegetable oil based spray. Place water pan onto brackets in the smoker drawer. Using a 4 quart (one gallon) container fill the water pan 2/3 full with hot tap water. Do not overfill the water pan.

Water or Juice?

Placing water alone in the water pan is adequate; however, it is not the only viable choice. Fruit juice, cola, beer, wine, drained marinades and even the water in which the wood has soaked make flavorful sources. In addition, celery stalks, onions, carrots, apples, peppercorns and bay leaves are just a few of the other popular flavor sources to add to the water pan.

Before each use, inspect the interior lid and body surface areas for loose particle buildup. Clean away any loose or flaking residue so it will not fall onto food while being cooked.

Before cooking, coat cooking grates with oil or with a vegetable oil based spray. Using oven mitts, carefully place cooking grates into smoker. Larger cuts of meat or food that cook for long periods of time should be placed on the lower cooking grate. If you are cooking foods with several pieces, such as racks of ribs or Cornish hens, be sure to allow adequate spacing for even heat circulation. Using oven mitts, carefully insert upper cooking grate into smoker. Smaller food items require less cooking time and should be placed on the upper cooking grate. After filling the smoker, close the door and leave undisturbed until suggested minimum cooking time.

Disengage Venturi tube from Control Valve and slide Control Panel out.

Use Tool to remove debris from Venturi Tube.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a pipe with attached components and wiring (no visible text or symbols)

Meats that require more than 4 hours of cooking time to reach doneness may require additional water. The initial amount of hot water added (4 quarts) should last 4-6 hours. After 4-6 hours, check water level and add more hot water as necessary.

Use a meat thermometer for measuring the internal heat of any food. The appearance of smoked foods resembles no other method of cooking, particularly in light colored meats such as pork, turkey, chicken and Cornish hens. The outside will be pinkish-red while the inside when cooked to perfection, is often pink. The juices from fully cooked poultry will run clear when pierced with a fork. Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Shrimp should be resilient to the touch when done. Remove foods from smoker before carving. To brown meats, cook for an additional 12 hour or more with no water in water pan.

Performance of the smoker is dependent on ambient temperature and wind conditions. With temperature below 60^ F and winds of 5 MPH or more, the smoker can lose a significant amount of heat and it may not be possible to raise internal temperature of meat high enough to cook it in a reasonable time.

Your smoker is designed with a drawer that is used to hold the water pan. This drawer will allow you to keep a check on the water level in the smoker without having to open the door. Opening the door during cooking will allow heat to escape and will significantly increase cooking time.

You may use your smoker without water in the water pan. However DO NOT use the smoker without the water pan properly installed. To do so will allow grease and drippings from the food being cooked to drop through the unit and onto the floor or surface on which the units sits.

Brush poultry and naturally lean meats with cooking oil, butter or margarine before cooking.

When cooking more than one piece of meat, the cooking time is determined by the largest piece being cooked.

The meat bastes itself during cooking. No basting or turning is necessary while cooking in the smoker. For variety, marinade of barbeque sauce may be applied before placing into the smoker.

Resist the temptation to open the door during cooking time. Opening the door will cause a loss of heat, which will result in longer cooking times.

SPIDER ALERT!

SPIDER AND WEBS INSIDE BURNER

Black cylindrical object with a textured surface and small protrusions, resembling a pen or tool (no visible text or symbols)

If your appliance is getting hard to light or the flame is weak, check and clean the venturi's and burners.

Spiders or small insects are known to create "flashback" problems by building nests and laying eggs in the appliance venturi or burner obstructing the flow of gas. The back-up gas can ignite behind the control panel. This flashback can damage your appliance and cause injury. To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi tube assembly should be removed and cleaned when ever the appliance has been idle for an extended period of time.

Problem	Possible Cause	Prevention/Solution
Burner(s) will not light using ignitor.Continued on next page.	GAS ISSUES:•Trying to light wrong burner.•Burner not engaged with control valve.•Obstruction in burner.•No gas flow.•Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP cylinder.•Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not fully connected.ELECTRICAL ISSUES:•Electrode cracked or broken, “sparks at crack.”•Electrode tip not in proper position.•Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue.•Wires are loose or disconnected.•Wires are shorting (sparking) between ignitor and electrode.	•See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.•Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.•Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or other matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.•Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty, refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow” in Troubleshooting section.•Turn off knobs and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder.Reconnect and retry.•Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.•Replace electrode(s).Main Burners:•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if necessary.Sideburner (if featured):•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. the distance should be 1/8" to 3/16". Adjust if necessary.•Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.•Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.•Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
Burner will not light using ignitor.	Rotary knob rotates without clicking.Sparking between ignitor and electrode.	Replace knob.Inspect wire insulation and proper connection. Replace wire if insulation is broken.
Burner will not match light.	See “GAS ISSUES:” on previous page.Match will not reach.Improper method of match-lighting.	Use long-stem match (fireplace match).See “Match-Lighting” section of Use and Care.
Sudden drop in gas flow or low flame.	Out of gas.Excess flow valve on regulator tripped.Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.	Check for gas in LP cylinder.Turn off control knob, wait 30 seconds and light appliance. If flames are still low, turn off knob and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect regulator. Reconnect regulator and leak-test. Turn on LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds and then light appliance.Turn off knob and LP cylinder valve. Disconnect coupling nut from cylinder. Reconnect and retry.
Flames blow out.	Low on LP gas.Excess flow valve tripped.	Refill LP cylinder.Refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow” above.
Flare-up.	Grease buildup.Excessive fat in meat.Excessive cooking temperature.	Clean burner and inside of fryer body.Trim fat from meat before grilling.Adjust (lower) temperature accordingly.
Persistent grease fire.	Grease trapped by food buildup around burner system.	Turn knob to OFF. Turn gas off at LP cylinder. Let fire burn out. After fryer cools, remove and clean all parts.
Flashback...(fire in burner).	Burner is blocked.	Turn knob to OFF. Clean burner. See burner cleaning section of Use and Care.
Cooking slower than expected	Vapor LockValve not properly aligned to burnerHigh wind conditions	Turn off control knob and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder. Reconnect and retry.Loosen control panel and valve. Be sure valve is centered top to bottom and left to right in burner .
