Valve/pressure regulators are factory set to the correct
operating pressures. No attempts should be made to adjust
these settings!
1. The valve on the LP tank must be closed. See that the
knob is turned clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that the control knob on the smoker is turned off.
3. Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve and
coupling nut, if present.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into
the valve outlet. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve
outlet. The coupling nut connects to the large outside
threads on the valve outlet. Use care - do not cross thread
the connection.
5. Hand tighten the coupling nut clockwise until it comes
to a full stop. Firmly tighten by hand only. Do not use
tools.
CAUTION: In the connection process, the regulator side
of the connection will seal on the back check in the valve,
resulting in a slight resistance. The connection requires
about one-half to three-quarters additional turn to
complete the connection.
When setting up the smoker and tank, it is recommended
to have the tank and smoker on a line perpendicular to the
wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally
extended to the maximum distance so that the hose is
straight and the tank is as far from the smoker as it can be.
LP tanks are intended for operation in the upright position
only.
Care should be taken to protect the fuel supply hose from
damage from either foot or vehicle traffic.

Storage of the appliance indoors is only permissible if the
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
After all connections are completed, check all connections
and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
Mix dish soap with water; about 3:1 mix ratio.
With all valves closed, apply the soap solution to all gas
flow connections and fittings.
Open tank valve about 1-1/2 turn.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas
leak.
If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off the
valve and repair the leak or replace the defective part. Do
not use the smoker until all leaks are corrected.
