LIGHTING PROCEDURES
IGNITOR LIGHTING SYSTEM
1. Check all connections for leaks using the “soapy water” test as explained in the “CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!” section of this manual.
2. Open the Smoker Cabinet 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 1-1/2 turns by turning counter-clockwise
6. To light unit with the Rotary Ignitor, push in and turn the Burner Control Knob counterclockwise to the high setting.
7. Immediately rotate the Ignitor Knob clockwise until you hear it click 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 doesn’t 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, 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 below.
MATCH LIGHTING
1. Follow steps 1 thru 5 of the “IGNITOR LIGHTING SYSTEM” instructions above.
2. Remove the Wood Chip Box and the Wood Chip Box Stand from inside the Smoker.
Light a paper match and drop it into the Burner Chamber, making sure it falls next
to the brass Burner.
FIGURE 1.
Quickly turn the Burner Control Knob to the light
position. If the Burner does not light within 4 to 5 seconds, turn the Burner Control
Knob off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the process.
DAMPER ADJUSTMENTS
.
For better performance, rotate the Smoker to where the front or back of the Cabinet is facing the wind. This allows the adjustment
of the Dampers to be more effective and accurate.
.
The Dampers should NEVER be fully closed.
.
Opening a side Damper allows more oxygen to be consumed by the fire, fueling the flames and causing an increase in temperature.
.
Opening the top Damper helps to exhaust both the heat and smoke.
.
The key to effective smoking is to watch your Heat Indicator on the Door and adjust the Dampers accordingly.
.
Temperature maintenance is best controlled by different Damper adjustment configurations.
. CAUTION: Keep the Dampers open a minimum of 10% at all times.
SHUTTING THE SMOKER OFF
CAUTION: The Smoker can become very hot while in use. Do not touch any portion of the Smoker except for the Door Handle and
Burner Control Knob. It may be necessary to use protective gloves.
.
Turn the Burner Control Knob off by pushing in and rotating clockwise. The Burner flame should then go out.
.
Turn off the LP cylinder valve by turning the knob clockwise until it stops.
.
Follow all warnings and safety precautions before removing meat from smoker or preparing the unit for storage. Please see “AFTER
USE SAFETY & MAINTENANCE” for proper storage procedures and the important warnings and safeguards.
