CARE AND MAINTENANCE

AFTER USE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
• Use caution when lifting and moving the smoker to avoid strain injuries.
Two people are recommended to lift or move the smoker.
• DO NOT store the smoker near gasoline or other combustible liquids or where
combustible vapors may be present. Keep the area around the smoker clear and free
of combustible materials and vapors.
• DO NOT store this smoker in an area accessible to children or pets. Store the
smoker in a dry, protected location.
• DO NOT allow anyone to conduct activities around the smoker following use until
it has cooled. It is hot during operation and remains hot for a period of time following use.
• DO NOT leave hot ashes unattended until the smoker cools completely.
• The smoker becomes extremely hot. Allow the smoker to cool completely before
handling. Allow the smoker to cool before removing and cleaning the grease pan.
• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy-duty aluminum foil and placing
them in a noncombustible container. If you must dispose of the ashes in less time
than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the wood chip box from the smoker with
heat resistant gloves, place the ashes in heavy-duty foil and soak them completely with
water before disposing of them in a noncombustible container. Always use protective oven
mitts or heat resistant gloves when accessing the inside of the smoker during and after use.
All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed while the smoker is turned
off and cooled.
To clean the inside and outside of the smoker cabinet, simply use a damp cloth.
Spray-washing with a water hose is not recommended. Moisture should be wiped away
and not allowed to stand inside or on top of the smoker. Once cleaned, you may prefer to
lightly coat the interior of the smoker cabinet with cooking oil or cooking spray.
If rust is present on the exterior surface of the smoker, clean the area with steel wool or
emery cloth and use heavy-duty, heat-resistant paint.
NEVER apply additional paint to the interior of the smoker.
