LIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Igniter Lighting System:
1. Check all connections for leaks using the “soapy water” test as explained on page 21.
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 1-1/2 turn by turning counter-clockwise.
6. To light unit with the igniter, turn the burner control
knob to the High (Lighting Position) and then immediately,
rotate the igniter knob clockwise until it clicks (you should
see a small spark jumping from the end of the electrode
rod to the side of the burner). This spark should ignite
the gas coming through to the burner. Adjust your flame
down with the burn control knob to your desired setting.
If the burner doesn’t light within 3 to 5 seconds, turn the
burner control knob to “OFF”, and wait five (5) minutes.
CAUTION:
Some LP gas, being heavier than air, may
have settled near the burner during the initial
lighting attempt. Prior to attempting to relight the
burner, fan out the bottom of the cabinet of existing
air.
Then repeating the above lighting steps again.
If burner still fails to light, try match lighting the smoker
using the instructions noted below.
Once the burner is lit, then gently close the door to allow
heat to accumulate. The damper vents and chimney can
then be adjusted to the desired setting to allow proper
air flow and combustion. Damper vent adjustment tips
are listed on the next page.
Match Lighting
:
1. Repeats steps 1 through 5 of the Igniter Lighting
System above.
2. Remove the water pan and wood chip box (including
stand or frame) from the inside of the smoker. Light a
match and drop it into the burner chamber, making sure
it falls next to the brass burner. Quickly turn the control
knob to the High (Lighting Position). If the burner does
not light within 4 or 5 seconds, turn the burner control
knot to OFF, wait five (5) minutes, fan out the bottom
of the cabinet of existing air, then and repeat the process.
