when the leg is installed on the smoker the wheel is to the outside. Secure the
acorn nut on the wheel shaft tight enough so that the wheel is free to move but
not wobble.
Installing the storage shelf
(4)
With the smoker laying on its side align the lower shelf with the holes in the
lower part of the legs. Note: the nut is pre-attached to the shelf so all you have
to do is locate and align the holes then screw the bolts into place.
HINT!! Do
not tighten any of the bolts holding the shelf into place until you have all of
the bolts in place. It is easier to install the lower shelf when the smoker box is
laying on its side
Installing the fire box
(5)
With the smoker standing up have someone hold the fire box and align the top
hole for the bolt. Slip the bolt in place and hand tighten the nut. Proceed in a
clockwise direction and install the remaining 4 bolts and nuts. After all of the
bolts and nuts are in place tighten them firmly.
(6)
The baffle on the ash door of the fire box has been installed in reverse to
prevent damage while shipping. Remove the baffle (one bolt & nut) and
reverse it so the baffle handle is to the outside. Remove the baffle locking bar
from the inside and install it to the outside so you can latch the baffle down.
Tighten the bolt and nut on the baffle and latch.
Installing the smoke stack
(7)
Slide the smoke stack into the hole on the side of the smoker where the handle
is located. There is a “set screw” located on the bottom of the smoker, smoke
stack receiver. Tighten it to secure the smoke stack firmly in place.
Installing the thermometer
(8)
If there is a plug in the thermometer hole in the smoker lid remove it. Screw
the thermometer into place making sure it is firm enough so it will not leak
smoke. There is no need to tighten it down hard with a wrench since it is not a
structural component and you might wish to remove it during the winter season.
Installing the charcoal grates and cooking grates
(9)
You have 3 charcoal grates and 3 cooking grates. The charcoal grates are the
smaller of the grates and need to be placed in the bottom of the smoking
chamber and in the bottom of the fire box. There are no tabs or positioning
bars for these charcoal grates. The cooking grates should be aligned on to the
positioning bars that run the length of the smoking chamber and the fire box
