4.2 LP Gas Tank Connection
- Ensure the smoker's control knob is in the "OFF" position.
- Connect the regulator to the LP gas tank valve. Hand-tighten firmly.
- Open the LP gas tank valve slowly.
- Perform a leak test: Apply a soapy water solution to all gas connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, close the gas valve, tighten connections, and retest. Do not operate if leaks persist.
4.3 Initial Seasoning
Before first use, season your smoker to burn off manufacturing oils and prepare the interior surfaces. This process typically takes 2-3 hours.
- Light the smoker as described in Section 5.1.
- Set the temperature to approximately 250-300°F (121-149°C).
- Allow the smoker to run for 2-3 hours. You may notice a chemical smell initially; this is normal.
- After seasoning, turn off the smoker and allow it to cool completely.

- Push in and turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the "HIGH" position.
- Immediately press and hold the piezo igniter button until the burner ignites. You should hear a click and see a flame through the viewwindow.

- Once ignited, adjust the control knob to your desired temperature setting.

- Monitor the built-in thermometer for accurate readings.
- For cold smoking, set the burner to its lowest setting.
5.3 Using Wood Chips and Water Pan
