In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation when cooking with oil, cover cooking vessel and immediately turn off burner and gas supply. DO NOT MOVE cooker stand or cooking vessel. When cooking with oil/grease have BC or ABC type fire extinguisher readily accessible. Frying and Boiling

HOW TO USE COOKER

Determine Fill Line 1. Place food product in/on holder. 2. Place holder with food into empty cooking vessel. 3. Fill cooking vessel with water just until food product is completely submerged. There must be a minimum of 3 inches (8cm) between water level and top of cooking vessel. 4. Remove food product. Either mark water level on side of cooking vessel or measure amount of water inside vessel. 5. Use this measurement for amount of cooking oil needed. 6. Empty water and completely dry cooking vessel and food product.

WARNING
Do NOT allow oil to get hotter than 400F(200C). Failure to follow steps to determine fill line may cause an overflow of oil to occur resulting in death, serious injury or property damage.

SHOULD OIL/GREASE FIRE OCCUR:

Do NOT attempt to extinguish an oil/grease fire with water, IMMEDIATELY call your Fire Department. Personal safety is a priority. Type BC or ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain fire. You may also be able to smother fire using dirt, sand or baking soda. If fire occurs INSIDE POT follow these steps1. Turn off gas supply. 2. Wearing protective glove, take pot lid and cover pot. If fire occurs OUTSIDE POT, follow these steps1. Call Fire Department. 2. Attempt to extinguish fire using BC or ABC type fire extinguisher. 3. Turn off gas supply if possible.

COOKING WITH CHARCOAL WARNINGS

READ CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING ON FRONT COVER Read and follow all warnings and instructions on charcoal packaging. Never use charcoal as a heating fuel. Use only for cooking outdoors. Only use charcoal lighting fluid. Never use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile fluids to ignite charcoal. These fluids can explode causing injury or death. Lighter fluid should be capped immediately after use and placed a minimum of 25 feet (7.5m) from unit before lighting charcoal. As an alternative to lighter fluid, you may use solid fire starter or metal chimney charcoal starter. Never overfill charcoal bowl. This can cause serious injury as well as damage unit. Never add lighter fluid to existing HOT or warm coals. If using charcoal lighter fluid, allow charcoal to burn until covered with light ash. Then place upper smoker body on lower smoker body and cover with dome lid. Following this procedure keeps fumes from being trapped in unit which may result in a flash fire or explosion. It will also protect units finish. Fatty foods like hamburger can have excess grease that can cause flare ups. When cooking fatty foods, use caution when opening lid and during cooking to avoid being burned. Once charcoal is lit, do NOT touch to see if it is hot. Use extreme caution when removing smoker dome lid. Keep hands and body safe from possible flare-ups or hot steam. In the event of grease fire from food drippings, cover your smoker with dome lid to suffocate flames. Never leave HOT coals or ashes unattended. Dispose of cold ashes by placing in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container. Do NOT store unit with HOT ashes or charcoal inside. Store only when fire is completely out and all surfaces are cold.

Smoking Recipes
Smoked Ham 1 10-lb pre-cooked ham 1/4 cup crushed pineapple 1/2 cup honey 2 tablespoons soy sauce Combine pineapple, honey and soy sauce together. This is the basting mixture. Remove fat from ham. Score top of ham 1/4 deep. Put water bowl under middle grill rack. Do NOT add any liquid to bowl, this is a dry smoke recipe. Place ham on middle rack with scored side up. Place 2 - 3 wood chunks on charcoal or in flame disk bowl. Baste top of ham every hour with mixture. Cook 4 hours or until inside of ham is 140F. Smoked Turkey 6-8 lbs turkey 2 cups hickory or apple wood chips Soak wood chips in water for at least one hour. This helps wood to smolder and smoke rather than burn up. Rinse turkey and dry well. Fold wings close to body and skewer. Close both end openings with skewers and tie legs tightly together. Secure with holding forks. Place water bowl under grill rack being used. Put turkey on grill rack over a low, indirect heat. Throw 1/2 of drained wood chips on hot coals and keep other half to be used as needed. Cook for approximately 2 1/2 hours. Internal temperature should be 185F and leg should move easily in joint when done. Be sure to keep lid down and smoke in. Let turkey cool 10 minutes before carving.
