Maintenance tips for your Patio Master outdoor smoker

• Scrape and brush debris off the cooking grates after you've finished smoking but while the grates are still hot.
• After the smoker cools completely, lightly coat the grates with cooking oil so food won't stick to the grates the next time you use the smoker.
• Empty the fire box and ash catcher of all charcoal and ash.
• Wipe down the outside of the smoker with a damp cloth.

How to safely light charcoal in your Patio Master outdoor smoker

• Keep children and bystanders away from the smoker while lighting and cooking with charcoal.
• Have a fire extinguisher handy while lighting charcoal and smoking.
• Pile the charcoal briquettes or chunks in a pyramid inside the smoker fire box.
• Douse the pile of briquettes or chunks with lighter fluid. Close the cap on the lighter fluid and move the lighter fluid a safe distance away from the smoker. Don't use gasoline, kerosene or other flammable liquids as a starter.
• Allow the lighter fluid to soak into the charcoal for a few minutes then carefully light the briquettes using a long match or barbeque grill lighter.
