LP Gas Lighting Procedure
1. Check all connections for leaks using the leak test as
explained on page 18.
2. Open the smoker 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
by turning
counter-clockwise.
6. To light unit with the push-button igniter, push in and
turn the burner control knob counter-clockwise to the
HIGH/LIGHT setting.
7. Immediately push the igniter button to click it several
times (you should see a small spark jumping from the end
of the electrode rod to the side of the burner). If the
burner does not light within 3 to 5 seconds, turn the burner
control knob OFF and wait five minutes before repeating
the steps again. If burner still fails to light try match
lighting the smoker using the instructions noted below.
8. Once the burner is lit, then close the door to allow heat
to accumulate. The dampers can then be adjusted to the
desired setting to allow proper air flow and combustion.
Damper adjustment tips are listed on the next page.
To match light the burner, repeat steps 1 thru 5 of the
igniter lighting system above and continue with the
following procedure:
Remove the wood box and its stand from inside the
smoker. Strike a paper match and drop it into the
burn chamber, next to the burner.
Quickly turn the control knob to the light position. If the
burner does not light within 4 or 5 seconds, turn the
control knob off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the process.
If the burner flame is accidentally extinguished, turn the
control knob off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
