LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE SMOKER MUST NOT BE LIT UNTIL THE PRECEDING
PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY FOLLOWED.
1. Check the casting (steel burner) to make sure it is set up as per Figure 3 on page 10. Open the
main smoker door. Never light the burner with the smoker door closed. Never lean into the
smoker chamber while lighting. Locate the red plate embossed with HOT on the stack on top
of the cabinet. Turn the plate until it is fully exposed. This signals that the smoker is HOT while
in use.
2. Make certain that the control knob on the smoker is turned to the OFF position.
3. Open cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram (Figure 1).
4. There are multiple ways of lighting your smoker. Choose one of the following methods:
A. Piezo Ignition - Push and turn the control knob towards the “HIGH” position. Immediately
press the red ignitor button next to the control knob repeatedly until ignition occurs (see
Figure 2). When lighting the smoker, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the
control knob and cylinder valve off. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
B. Multi-Purpose Lighter/Paperbook Match - Push and turn the control knob towards the
“HIGH” position. Immediately place a lit multi-purpose lighter or paperbook match through
the hole on the side of the burner shroud as shown in Figure 3. When lighting the smoker, if
ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the control knob and cylinder valve off. Wait 5
minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
5. Check that the flame is blue and that the flames are emitted completely around the burner (see
Figure 4). If there is a yellow flame, or if some ports have no flame, this indicates there may be
an obstruction in the venturi tube or ports. Check the maintenance instructions on page 17 for
more information regarding a yellow flame or blockage.
6. Always monitor the flame throughout the cooking process. If at any point in the cooking process
the flame is accidentally extinguished, immediately turn the control knob and cylinder valve OFF.
Open main smoker door slowly, wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse and relight the smoker
according to the lighting instructions (#1-#5) in this section.
