10. Use only on a level, stable non-combustible surface like
bricks, concrete or dirt. Do not use this appliance on
any surface that will burn or melt like wood, asphalt,
vinyl or plastic.
11. Make sure the grease bucket is in place before starting
the smoker.
12. In the event of a fire the dial should be turned to
shutdown, close the door, and leave it closed until the
fire goes out. After allowing the smoker to cool, follow
the cleaning instructions before the next use.
13. Use only food grade hardwood pellets manufactured for
use in pellet smokers. Using softwood or heating pellets
will void your warranty.
14. Do not allow the hopper to run out of pellets. Pellets
can be added at any time. The hopper will hold
approximately 15 pounds of pellets. The pellet usage
will vary greatly depending
as well as
cooking temperature.
15. It is recommended that you not store pellets in the
hopper for extended periods as they may absorb
moisture from the air and clog the auger.
16. Keep the door closed during cooking. The smoker is
the ambient temperature
on
designed to cook with the door closed.
17. Do not use accessories not specified for use with
appliance.
18. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to
start or freshen up a fire in this appliance. Keep all
such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.
19. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting door. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non combustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. When the ashes are disposed by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed they should be retained
in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
20. Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood
pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other
organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a
relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the walls of the smoker. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The smoker should be
inspected every 50 hours to determine when grease
and/or creosote build-up has occurred. When grease
or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to
reduce risk of fire.
Do not work on this smoker if it is plugged in. Electric
shock may occur resulting in death or serious injury.
