The instructions stated on gas cylinder tanks have to be followed when filling or transporting tanks.
Failure to do so could result in problems relating to overfilling, excessive venting release of gas and to
regulator freezing.

clockwise to a full stop.
. Check that the control knob on the smoker is turned off.

outlet. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. The
