After all connections are completed, check all connections and fittings for leaks with a soap solution.
- With all valves closed, apply the leak check solution (50/50 mix of dishwashing detergent and water) to all gas carrying
connections and fittings.
- Open tank valve.
Presence of bubbles at areas of wet solution indicates a gas leak.
If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off the valve
and repair the leak or replace the defective part. Do not use the
smoker until all leaks are corrected.
When setting up the smoker and tank, it is recommended to have
the tank and smoker on a line perpendicular to the wind direction.
The gas hose/regulator assembly should be totally extended
to the maximum distance so that the hose is straight and the tank
is as far from the smoker as it can be.
