I have an Electric smoker and it is showing an error code on control panel, what do I need to do?

If your unit shows and error, do not use and call our customer service department 1-800-321-3473.

Product Tips

How do I clean my smoker?

The cooking racks can be scrubbed with soap and water, but you do not want to scour the smoker because you will remove the seasoning that has been acquired with the use of the unit. You can take a putty knife or tool to scrape the piled up drippings and other debris out of the unit. Please be sure not to use any harsh cleaners on your unit.

Can I drill a hole for drainage in my fire pit?

There is no reason why a drain hole couldn’t be used, but it will void any warranty because the product is being modified. But we recommend that the fire pits are put away out of the weather so they don’t get water in them. Besides, if they do fill with water and it is on your deck, a drain hole will dump water and ashes all over your deck. Another option is to purchase a cover. We have custom covers to fit most of our fire pits.

Technical Questions

No our units require some assemble. This is normally completed within 30 minutes.

Why is there a humming noise coming from my regulator?

A humming or whistling noise sometimes comes from the regulator. If there is no smell of gas, this condition is NORMAL. Conditions that cause or affect this noise are: fullness of tank, temperature changes, barometric pressure and humidity. The regulator noises usually dissipate when the condition changes.
