AFTER USE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed only while the
smoker is turned off and completely cooled.
To clean, remove the water pan, wood chip box and cooking racks from the smoker. Clean with hot,
soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly. You may prefer to coat the water pan cooking racks lightly
with cooking oil or cooking spray.
Frequently check and clean the venturi tube and burner for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube
can lead to fire outside the smoker. Also make sure the smoker does not have any foreign objects
obstructing the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
If your heat indicator seems to be out of calibration. Remove the heat indicator from the door of the
smoker by loosening the push nut or wing nut from the inside. There is a second nut mounted on the
back of the heat indicator that can be turned to adjust the heat indicator needle. Set the needle to the
current outdoor ambient temperature and remount the heat indicator to the door of the smoker.
To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet, simply use a damp cloth. Spray washing with a
wate hose is not recommended. All moisture should be wiped away and not allowed to stand inside or
on top of the smoker. Carefully remove the grease pan, dispose of the grease and wash thoroughly.
Once cleaned, you may prefer to lightly coat he interior of the smoker cabinet with cooking oil or
cooking spray.
If rust is present on the exterior of the smoker, clean it thoroughly wth steel wool or emery cloth and
use heavy duty, heat resistant paint to cover affected area.
NEVER APPLY additional paint to the interior of the smoker. If rust is present on the interior of the
smoker, clean thoroughly with steel wool or emery cloth, and lightly coat the area with cooking oil or
cooking spray to minimize recurring rust.
When an LP tank is not connected, and to prevent dirt or other foreign particles from clogging the HVR,
hand the end of the HVR hose from the side handle using the supplied S hook.
Inspect the flames at the burner by looking through the
front access hole. A good flame should be blue with a
yellow tip and be 1”-2” in length. If flames are excessively
yellow and irregular, oil residue and/or food deposits may
be collecting on the burner. Try cleaning the burner
surfaces and the burner holes to improve the flames. Bad
flames may be also caused by poor HVR-to-venturi
attachment.
ALWAY allow the smoker to cool completely before cleaning
or checking the assembly.
