OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER

OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE

1. The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/CAN/CGA-1.6, requires that appliances are to be used with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device (OPD).
2. The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some consumers have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders are "defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling stations may not be aware of this device and its effect on the purge/fill operation.
3. New OPDs coming onto the market have technology that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.

IDENTIFICATION

To identify these cylinders, the OPD handwheel has been standardized to the shape shown.

Diagram showing the OPD handwheel shape and a float mechanism inside a cylinder indicating "FILLING STOPS AT 80% FULL".

HOSE & REGULATOR

1. All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
2. The QCC® coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to prevent accidental activation.
3. The QCC® coupling incorporates a heat sensitive hand wheel that will cause the back check module in the QCC® cylinder valve to close when exposed to temperatures between 240° and 300°F. Should this occur, do not attempt to reconnect the hand wheel. Remove hose/regulator assembly and replace with a new one.
4. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and hose couplings comply with CGA Standard CAN 1.83. No modifications or substitutions should be attempted.
5. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow the hose to touch any hot surface, including the base casting of the barbecue.
6. Inspect the seal in the QCC® cylinder valve when replacing the LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more frequent. Replace the seal if there is any indication of cracks, creases, or abrasion.
7. Inspect the hose before each use of the barbecue. If the hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated.
8. For repair or replacement of the hose/regulator assembly, contact customer service at 1-800-265-2150 or info@omcbbq.com

CONNECTION

1. Be sure cylinder valve and appliance valves are "off".
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure base as per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place. Using other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until there is a positive stop. Do not use tools. Hand tighten only. When making the connection, hold the regulator in a straight line with the cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the connection.
4. Leak test connections. See "Leak Testing".
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open cylinder valve slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting Device is accidentally activated, turn off cylinder valve and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the device to reset, open cylinder valve slowly, then open the appliance valve.

DISCONNECTION

Always close LP cylinder valve and remove coupling nut before moving cylinder from specified operation position.

Leak Testing

All factory-made connections have been rigorously tested for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have loosened a gas fitting.

AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:

• Test all fittings for leaks before using your gas smoker.
• Test the cylinder valve for leaks each time the cylinder is filled.
• Test for leaks every time you connect a gas fitting.
• Do not smoke at any time while testing.
• Never test for leaks with a lit match or open flame.
• Test for leaks outdoors.

TO TEST FOR LEAKS:

1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
2. Be sure that cylinder valve and gas valves are "OFF."
3. Connect LP gas cylinder. See "Hose and Regulator."
4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part liquid detergent.
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.
6. Brush the soap solution on each connection.

A diagram illustrates the leak testing process, showing connections being brushed with soap solution.

7. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of the leak.
8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder "shut-off" valve, tighten the connection and retest.
9. If the leak persists, contact your gas smoker dealer for assistance. Do not attempt to operate appliance if a leak is present.

Venturi Tubes

Always keep venturi tubes clean. Blockages in the venture tubes caused by spiders, insects and nests can cause a flashback fire. In fact, although the smoker may still light, the backed up gas can ignite and cause a fire around the venture tubes at the control panel.

If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source immediately. Inspect and clean the venturi tubes (main burner, side burner, rear burner) if any of the following symptoms occur:

1. You smell gas.
2. Your smoker does not reach temperature.
3. Your gas smoker heats unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.

INSPECTING & CLEANING VENTURI TUBES

1. Turn off gas by closing the propane cylinder valve
2. When the smoker is cool, remove the burner fasteners. Proceed to lift the burner from the burner housing.
3. Clean the venturi tubes with a pipe cleaner or venture cleaning tool (Accessory #77310).
4. Lower the burner into position in the burner housing, making sure that the venturi tubes are correctly aligned and fitted on the orifices.
5. Secure burners with burner fasteners.

Diagrams illustrate venturi tubes, spiderwebs, burners, and a venturi cleaning brush. Another diagram shows the process of cleaning venturi tubes.

Lighting

CAUTION - Check your gas grill after lighting. All burner ports should show a 1in / 2.5cm flame on “HIGH.”

Operation

GETTING STARTED

Before cooking on your gas smoker for the first time, remove the grates, smoker pan, and water pan; wash thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry with a soft towel - don't air dry, and don't ever put in dishwasher.

Initial Burn-in

Before you start to cook on your Broil King® Smoke™™ Vertical Propane Smoker you have to burn off the protective residues from manufacturing. Light your smoker, as outlined on page 7: "lighting your smoker", and leave the burner on high for a minimum of 30 minutes. This will burn off any of the protective coating from manufacturing and begin the process of smoke-curing the internal components of the smoker. The more you use your smoker, the better the seasoning will be.

SMOKING TECHNIQUES

Smoking - Less than 275°f

This classic form of barbecue involves cooking of larger cuts of meat at low temperatures (less than 275°f (135°c) for a relatively long time (often 4+ hours). Using wood chips infuses slow cooked meats and other items with smoky barbecue flavor and yields incredibly tender results.

Smoke roasting – 275°f – 400°f

Also known as indirect grilling, this is similar setup to smoking; smoke roasting is an accelerated version of the same principles. It works well for more conventional roasts, chickens and items that are frequently oven roasted. The combination of smoke and cooking time creates great flavor in a shorter time than true smoking

CONTROLING TEMPERATURE

The Broil King® Smoke™™ Vertical Propane Smoker allows you to control cooking temperature by adjusting the control knob and exhaust dampers. Use barbecue mitts or hot pads to protect hands while cooking or adjusting the dampers.

Diagram showing adjustable dampers on the smoker.

CONTROLING MOISTURE

Water pan: Your vertical charcoal smoker is equipped with a water pan to keep food from drying out. Use water, juice, and other herbs and spices to create another layer of flavor as you use your smoker.

COOKING ACCESSORIES

Adjustable Racks:

The rails for holding the cooking grids and trays are fully adjustable, allowing for most efficient use of your cabinet smoker.

Rib / Roast Rack:

Your smoker includes a rib / roast rack that can be used in place of the stainless steel cooking grids. Maximize the space in your smoker by keeping ribs upright.

Stainless Steel Hooks:

Leave the upper rack in place, and use the 16 hooks provided to hang sausage, chicken pieces, whole fish, and other items.

Diagrams show adjustable racks, a rib/roast rack, and stainless steel hooks.

WOOD CHIPS

Pre-soak wood chips for 30 minutes before adding to smoker. Add wood chips after the main burner is lit, but before adding meat to the smoker. Do not place wood chips in the grease pan. Smoke flavor accumulates best on cool items that have moisture on the outside. Once the exterior of the item dries out, it will no longer take on smoke flavor.

For best results, try to maintain a temperature of 200°f to 300°f for most smoked meats. Always cook to the specified internal temperature for a given meat. That is the only way to ensure food safety.

Maintenance

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

The following components should be inspected and cleaned (as necessary) before every usage of your gas smoker to ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.

COOKING GRIDS

All OMC cooking grids are coated with a durable finish to protect the grids and reduce the tendency of food sticking to grids. With all OMC cooking grids instead of burning off your smoker after each usage, we recommend leaving food residue on grids and performing a Burn-Off (see below) before each use; this helps build up a protective layer of oil on the grids and will aid in preventing rust and deterioration.

SEASONING GRIDS

Cooking grids should be seasoned before every use by wiping or spraying them with vegetable or olive oil. Ensure that the whole surface of the grid is covered by a light layer of oil. This helps prevent rusting and deterioration. If rusting does occur, scrape it off gently with a scrub pad and season thoroughly. During longer periods of inactivity, grids should be seasoned, wiped dry then stored in a dry place. Before first usage and after periods of storage, grids should be washed dried with paper towel then wiped down thoroughly with vegetable or olive oil.

WATER PAN

After each cook, it will be necessary to empty the water pan. Wait for the smoker to completely cool. Carefully remove the water pan and dispose of cooking liquid and food residue. Wash the water pan with soap and water

SMOKER BOX

After each cook, it will be necessary to empty the smoker box. Wait for the smoker to completely cool. It is a good idea to douse wood chips with water to insure they are completely extinguished. Carefully remove the smoker box and dispose of spent wood chips residue. Wash the pan with soap and water

BURN-OFF

First make sure the water pan and smoker box has been emptied. Ignite the burners as per “Lighting" (page 7). Operate gas Smoker on HIGH with door closed for 10 min. or until smoking stops. Turn the gas source off then turn control knobs to OFF. When the smoker is completely cool. Clean the interior as necessary by scraping the sides and bottom of the cookbox and vacuuming or sweeping up debris.

ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

The following components should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year or after any period of storage over 30 days to ensure optimal performance, safety and efficiency.

BURNER

Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration. Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to eliminate any blockages. See "Venturi Tubes." (page 6) While the burner is removed, clean the interior of cookbox by scraping the sides and bottom of the cookbox and vacuuming.

HOSE

Inspect and replace if necessary. For propane see "Hose and Regulator." (page 5)

EXTERIOR FINISH

If white oxidation spots appear, wash the outside of the cookbox with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse the surfaces thoroughly then wipe them with a cloth dipped in cooking oil to restore the luster. For repair of paint scratches and scuffs, use a good quality HIGH temperature (600°F) spray paint for touch-up. Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect short term performance of your smoker.

STAINLESS STEEL

Wash with soap and water. Use stainless steel cleaner to polish and remove stains or marks. Weathering and extreme heat can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a tan color. This is discoloration and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

RESIN COMPONENTS

Wash with soap and water.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer, approved service center, or contact the factory for repairs or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use only original OMC replacement parts.

LEAK TEST

When reconnecting a gas cylinder on propane models, be sure to check for leaks. See "Leak Testing." (page 5)

COOKING GRIDS

To wash cooking grids, use a light detergent and water and then rinse and dry with paper towel; never air dry grids or use a dishwasher. For cast iron grids, thoroughly season (see left: "Cooking Grids") after washing.

Always keep your Broil King® Smoke™™ Vertical Propane Smoker covered when not in use - use Broil King® Cover # 67240
