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.

The smoker uses a push-button piezo ignition system.
- Ensure the LP gas tank valve is open.
- 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 viewing venster.
- If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the ignition procedure.
- Once ignited, adjust the control knob to your desired temperature setting.
5.2 Temperatuurbeheer
The dual valve burner system allows for temperature control between 100°F and 350°F. The single control knob manages both the wood chip burner (3,500 BTU) and the cabinet temperature burner (10,000 BTU).
- Turn the control knob clockwise to decrease temperature and counter-clockwise to increase it.
- 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
- Houtskyfies: Fill the external wood chip drawer with your preferred wood chips. Soaking wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before use is recommended for consistent smoke production.
- Waterpan: Fill the water pan with water, juice, or other liquids to add moisture to your food and help regulate temperature. Monitor the water level during long cooks and refill as needed.

7. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |

| Inkonsekwente temperatuur | Low gas pressure; improper vent settings; external factors (wind, cold). | Ensure LP tank is not low; adjust top vent for airflow; shield smoker from wind; allow more time for temperature stabilization. |
| Insufficient smoke production | Dry wood chips; insufficient heat to wood chip burner. | Soak wood chips before use; ensure wood chip burner is receiving adequate gas flow (controlled by the main knob). |
| Gaslek bespeur | Loose connections; damaged hose/regulator. | Immediately turn off gas. Tighten all connections. If leak persists, do not use and contact customer support. |
