Brinkmann OUTDOOR GAS COOKER - Manual (Page 2)

• Use smoker only on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.). Never use on wooden or other
surface that can burn.
• Always use a drip pan/ash guard under smoker to protect surface from heat damage and/or discoloration and to catch
ashes, embers and drippings.
• Do not use smoker on a surface that could burn. A drip pan/ash guard will not prevent fires from occurring on a wooden
or other combustible surface. A drip pan/ash guard is designed for use with a smoker for easy clean up of drippings that
can cause discoloration of surface and to catch falling ashes and embers.
• Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the smoker and combustible construction should be maintained at all times when
this product is in use. Do not place smoker under a roof overhang or other combustible material.
• Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.
• Never move smoker when it is in use.
• For household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.

• Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary

• We advise that you have a fire extinguisher acceptable for use with gas products on hand. Refer to your local authority to
determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.
• When lifting the dome lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam or possible flame flare-ups. Always
lift off the smoker body by tilting the dome lid toward you to allow hot steam to escape away from your face. Should a
flare-up occur, replace the dome lid to smother flame. Do not use water to extinguish flame.
• Use extreme caution when adding liquid to water pan. Follow instructions in "Adding Water During Cooking" section of
this manual.
• Water pan should always be used when smoking. Do not allow liquid in water pan to completely evaporate. Check water
pan every 2 hours and add water if level is low (a sizzling sound may indicate a need for water). Follow instructions in
"Adding Water During Cooking" section of this manual.
