3. Setup and Installation
Replacing the gas burner and igniter in your Masterbuilt smoker is a straightforward process. Always ensure the smoker is cool, disconnected from the propane tank, and all gas valves are closed before beginning installation.
3.1 Safety Precautions
- Ensure the propane tank is disconnected and the gas supply is off.
- Allow the smoker to cool completely if it has been in use.
- Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, if necessary.
- Keep away from children under 3 years old.
3.2 Installation Steps
- Access the Burner Area: Depending on your Masterbuilt smoker model, you may need to remove the drip pan, water pan, and cooking grates to access the burner compartment.
- Disconnect Old Igniter: Carefully disconnect the wire from the old igniter button.
- Remove Old Burner: Locate the screws securing the old burner in place. Unscrew them and carefully remove the old burner. Note its orientation for reinstallation.
- Install New Burner: Position the new BISONCOOK gas burner in the same orientation as the old one. Secure it with the provided screws.
