WARNINGS This smoker is designed for outdoor use only. If used indoors, toxic fumes will accumulate and cause serious bodily injury or death. Do not add charcoal lighter fluid or charcoal impregnated with charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals. Cap starter fluid after use, and place a safe distance away from the barbecue. Do not use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile fl uids to ignite charcoal. If using charcoal lighter fluid, remove any fl uid that may have drained through the bottom vents, before lighting the charcoal. Do not leave infants, children, or pets unattended near a hot smoker. Do not attempt to move a hot smoker. Do not use this smoker within five feet of any combustible material. Do not use this smoker unless all parts are in place. Do not remove ashes until all coals are completely burned out and are fully extinguished. Do not wear clothing with loose flowing sleeves while lighting or using the smoker. Do not use smoker in high winds. Keep the smoker in a level position at all times. 5 5 Combustion by-products produced when using this product contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Remove the lid from the smoker while lighting and getting the coals started. Always put charcoal on top of the charcoal grate and not directly into the bottom of the bowl. Never touch the cooking or charcoal grate, or the smoker, to see if they are hot. Barbecue mitts or hot pads should always be used to protect hands while barbecuing or adjusting the vents. Use proper barbecue tools with long, heat-resistant handles. To extinguish the coals, place the lid on the bowl and close all vents. Do not use water, it will damage the porcelain finish. To control flare-ups, place lid on smoker. Do not use water. Handle and store hot electric starters carefully. Keep electrical cords away from the hot surfaces of the smoker. Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will obstruct the air flow, instead use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat when cooking by the Indirect Method. Using sharp objects to clean the cooking grate or remove ashes will damage the finish. Using abrasive cleaners on the cooking grate or the smoker itself will damage the finish. 6 6 1 Check Package Contents You should have received the parts listed at right.
