  DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

• WARNING

• Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this appliance. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area. Save these instructions.
  Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel.

• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of conscious-ness and death.

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold- or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.

• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of car-bon monoxide poisoning.

• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia or heart dis-ease.

• Your appliance must be operated outside on noncombustible flooring and away from combustible materials.

• WARNING

• • If operating your appliance on floors protected with a non-combustible, protective surface, the protective surface must be ap-proved for such use by local building or fire officials.
  • Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, or flammable liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from this appliance when in use.
  • DO NOT use this unit on or near combustible surfaces or structures such as wood decks, dry leaves or grass, vinyl or wood siding, etc.

SEE OWNERS MANUAL FOR IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

• Most surfaces on this unit are hot when in use. Use extreme caution.
• Keep others away from unit.
• Always wear protective clothing to prevent injury.
• Keep children and pets away.
• Do not move this unit during operation.
• Never substitute gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for charcoal starter. In some states, the use of char-coal starter is prohibited by law. In this case, paraf-fin-based starter cubes can be substituted for charcoal starter.
• Never use charcoal starter fluid with an electric start-er. After a charcoal fire appears extinguished, unconsumed embers can retain heat for up to 24 hours, and if exposed to fresh air, can burst into flame unexpectedly. Any such embers outside the firebox of the grill pose a fire hazard and can ignite combustible surfaces such as wooden decks.
• FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIGHTING CHARCOAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING HOT COALS TO PREVENT INJURY. ALWAYS LIGHT THE FIRE WITH THE GRILL LID OPEN

PREPARING TO USE YOUR SMOKER

Before cooking with your smoker, the following steps should be closely followed to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to your first foods.

1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil.
2. Build a small fire in the firebox using 4 lbs.(1.8 Kg) of charcoal, approximately 60 briiquettes, being sure not to lay coals against the walls of the firebox.
3. Close door. (Position damper and smokestack damper approximately at one quarter open.) This burn should be sustained for at least two hours, the lon-ger the better. Then, begin increasing temperature by opening the damper and smokestack damper halfway and adding more charcoal. Your smoker is now ready for use.

Rust can appear on the inside of your smoker. Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the protection of your unit. Exterior surfaces of smoker may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use of a commercially available black high temperature spray paint.

SMOKER MAINTENANCE

• Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry. Wipe out the interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels.
• When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which can lead to premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable oil will aid in the protection of your unit. Also, occasion-al touch up of the exterior paint will be required. Black, high-temperature spray paint is recommended.
• NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.
• Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles re-main on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recom-mended to clean cooking surfaces while the grill is hot.

COOKING TIPS

BUILDING YOUR FIRE

1. Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyra mid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate or ash pan. We recommend using 4 lbs.(1.8 Kg), approximately 60 briquettes, to start your fire. Add more briquettes as needed.

2. If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Always light the fire with the cooking chamber and firebox lids open. Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from char-coal lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
   Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing injury.

4. You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red glow (approximately 12 – 15 minutes).

5. Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly across the char-coal grate using a long-handled poker.

6.  Avoid laying coals on smoker walls.

SMOKING WITH WOOD CHIPS /WOOD CHUNKS

1. For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal bri-quettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or sev-eral wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors, and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have very different tastes.
   Experiment with different woods to determine your per-sonal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-cut wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.

   • Our Recommendations:
   • Chicken – Alder, Apple, Hickory, Mesquite
   • Beef – Hickory, Mesquite, Oak
   • Pork – Fruitwoods, Hickory, Oak
   • Lamb – Fruitwoods, Mesquite
   • Veal – Fruitwoods, Grapevines
   • Seafood – Alder, Mesquite
   • Vegetables – Mesquite

GRILLING

Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals are ready for grilling is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. Using caution, arrange the hot coals on your charcoal grate based on your desired method of cooking. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature of your fire:

•  If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
• Avoid laying the coals on the walls of the smoker.
• Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
• In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
• Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash over before adding more.
• Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking.
• Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take lon-ger. The meat’s internal temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times.
• Cold and thicker meats will take longer to cook.

FOOD SAFETY

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the out-door cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

1. Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat.
2. Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
3. Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacte-ria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
4. Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers prompt-ly.
