1. Using the Zip Tie, secure the Hose to underside of the Control Panel.
FIGURE 10
2. Tighten the zip tie so that there is no slack remaining. DO NOT over-tighten the
Zip Tie to help prevent the hose from coming into contact with the hot Burner
Chamber. OVER-TIGHTENING may restrict gas flow and could damage the
gas line.
3. Inspect the installation underneath the Smoker to ensure that the Hose is not
rubbing any portion of the Burner Chamber.
4. Carefully turn the Smoker upright onto its Legs.
ASSEMBLY STEP 5
DAMPER PLATE INSTALLATION
After all connections are completed, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
. With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dish washing detergent and water)
to all gas carrying connections and fittings.
. Open tank valve.
. Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak.
. If Leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, IMMEDIATELY shut off the valve and repair the
leak or replace the defective part. Do not use the Smoker until all leaks are corrected!
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS!
SET-UP TIPS
. 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.
. If the appliance is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the supply cylinder and the cylinder should be disconnected from the
appliance.
. Storage of the Smoker indoors is only permissible if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the Smoker.

able to rotate with little resistance.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 on the other 2 sides with the Dampers Plates.
