Brinkmann OUTDOOR GAS COOKER - Manual (Page 3)

• Use a sufficient amount of flavoring wood to avoid having to remove smoker body from base pan during the cooking
process. This will limit the danger of spilling hot liquid from the water pan which could cause serious bodily injury.
• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this smoker are not recommended and may
lead to personal injury and/or property damage.
• This outdoor gas smoker is designed for propane gas supply. Only cylinders marked “Propane” should be used. The
cylinder should be marked in accordance with the specifications for LP cylinders of the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) and incorporate a safety relief device having direct communications with the vapor space of the
cylinder.
• Always use the gas pressure regulator supplied with the smoker. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 11" water
column. Never connect an outdoor gas cooking appliance to an unregulated LP-gas supply.
• Check all gas connections by following directions in the “Gas Leak Testing” section of this manual. Never test for gas
leaks with a lighted match or open flame.
• When lighting the burner, always use long matches, a spark ignitor, or other means that will keep your hands, face and
hair a safe distance from the burner.
• Never add charcoal, lighter fluid, fuel or material of any kind, other than flavoring wood to the base pan where the burner
assembly and lava rocks are housed. Place wood chunks on lava rocks.
• When in use, place the propane tank a safe distance from smoker.
• Always use the propane tank valve to turn the smoker “ON” and “OFF”. Use the burner control knob to adjust flame
ONLY.
• Do not allow the gas hose to come into contact with any hot surfaces.
• Always disconnect the propane tank from the smoker when not in use.
• Always store propane tank outdoors in a well ventilated, shaded area, away from any gas burning apparatus. Do not
store indoors or in an enclosed area. A safety plug should be placed in the propane tank valve as an added precaution.
• Do not move smoker when water pan contains hot liquids. Hot liquid could spill from the pan causing severe burns.
• If a flame flare-up occurs while cooking, turn the regulator control knob to low and cover smoker with dome lid to limit
airflow and extinguish the flare-up. If flare-up does not extinguish, turn the propane tank valve OFF and leave dome lid
on smoker. Wait at least 5 minutes, remove dome lid and relight the smoker.
• Always allow hot water in water pan to cool completely before handling to avoid being burned or scalded.
• Allow smoker to cool completely before cleaning. Make sure embers are completely extinguished. Dispose of remaining
embers and ashes in a noncombustible container. Do not allow ashes to build up in smoker.
• Do not attempt to service smoker other than normal maintenance as explained in "After-Use Safety and Proper Care &
Maintenance" sections of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.
• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
