WARNING
6. Propane gas is extremely flammable, follow these instructions:
•
•
Use only LP gas cylinders marked "Propane" which are U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) certified.
Always use the gas pressure regulator supplied with this product which is regulated for an outlet pressure of 15 PSI; the use
of other regulators or no regulator could result in dangerous gas leakage.
•
•
Check all gas connections by following directions in the "Gas Leak Testing" section of this manual. Never test for gas leaks
with a lighted match or open flame. Do not operate this cooker with a gas leak.
Propane is heavier than air and can accumulate in low places. Keep propane tank, at all times, in a well ventilated area. If you
smell gas – leave the area immediately and call for help.
•
•
•
Never use a hose that shows signs of cracking or damage. Replace hose every two years.
Do not use or store cooker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). Store outdoors in a well ventilated, shaded area, away
from any heat source or open flame and away from children’s reach.
•
•
Turn the cooker "OFF" with the propane tank valve; use the needle valves when lighting the burners and to adjust the flame.
Read all warnings on or accompanying propane tank.
Disconnect the propane tank from the cooker when not in use. A safety plug should be placed in the propane tank valve.
7. Keep hands, face and hair away from burner. Use long matches or long-nosed lighter to light the burner. Do not wear loose
clothing or allow long hair to hang freely while lighting or using cooker.
8. Only use flat bottom metal cookware and center evenly over burner. Never put an empty pan over an open flame; the bottom of
the pan could melt. Do not use plastic, ceramic or glassware. Any pan larger than 14 1/2" may not sit properly on burner stand
and could cause hot liquids to spill or overturn cooker.
9. Do not fill cookware beyond one-half full with liquid to allow room for the addition of food and to avoid boil-over of hot liquid. In
some cases, depending on the weight or size of food, even less liquid will be required. If spill-over/boil-over occurs, check to
make sure flame was not extinguished by liquid. Gas could accumulate causing a highly flammable, very dangerous situation.
Allow gas to dissipate prior to relighting cooker.
10. In case of grease fire, do not use water to extinguish flame. Turn gas OFF at propane tank and use fire extinguisher approved for
use with gas appliances or other appropriate means to extinguish flame.
11. Do not use this cooker on recreational vehicle or boat.
12. Do not use this cooker for other than its intended purpose.
13. Only use replacement/accessory parts manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation. Repairs should be performed by The
Brinkmann Corporation.
14. Properly dispose of all packaging materials.
USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR COOKER.
FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES IN
THIS MANUAL COULD RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
SAVE THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

GAS LEAK TESTING
THE GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST BE PERFORMED
EVERY TIME THE TANK IS CONNECTED TO COOKER.
WARNING
•
•
•
•
Gas leak testing must be performed outdoors in a well ventilated area.
During the gas leak testing procedure, always keep unit away from open flames, sparks or lit cigarettes.
Never use a flame to check for gas leaks.
Always use the propane tank valve to turn the unit OFF. The needle valves are used when lighting the burners and to adjust the
flame.
•
Never use a unit that has a gas leak. Contact The Brinkmann Corporation’s Customer Service Department for replacement parts
at 1-800-527-0717.
1. Make sure the propane tank valve and needle valves are
turned OFF.
Propane Tank Valve
Regulator
2. Make sure male SAE fitting is properly attached to air shutter
refer to "Assembly Instructions". Attach POL fitting to
tank using adjustable wrench and tighten by turning
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.
3. Prepare a soapy water solution (one part dishwashing liquid to
three parts water) to test for gas leaks in the hose and
connections. Apply a generous amount of the soapy mixture
to the regulator, POL fitting, control valve, the entire length of
hose and SAE fitting (located near the air shutter).
4. With the needle valves in the "OFF" position, open the propane
tank valve two full turns (counter-clockwise). Next, open the
needle valves fully and check for bubbles at control valve,
along the entire length of hose and at the SAE fitting. DO NOT
LEAVE GAS ON FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS. If soapy
mixture starts bubbling, gas is leaking through the connection
or hose. Turn the propane tank valve OFF and retighten the
connection that is leaking gas. Repeat procedure with soapy
mixture until gas no longer leaks. NEVER USE A FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. Turn the propane tank valve OFF
after each test.
Needle Valves
NOTE: POL fittings are made with a metal to
metal seal and must be made very tight
to prevent leaking. Make sure to not
cross-thread fittings while tightening.
Watch For Bubbles
5. Once all gas leaks have been sealed, WAIT AT LEAST 5
MINUTES FOR GAS FUMES TO DISSIPATE BEFORE LIGHTING
THE BURNER.
Carefully follow "Operating Instructions" to light the burner
and properly operate this unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PLACE THE COOKER OUTDOORS ON A HARD, LEVEL, NONCOMBUSTIBLE
SURFACE AWAY FROM ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. IN WINDY WEATHER,
THE COOKER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS
PROTECTED FROM THE WIND. GAS LEAK TESTING PROCEDURE MUST
BE PERFORMED EVERY TIME THE COOKER IS USED.
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR COOKER.
1. Make sure the needle valves are in the "OFF" position.
2. Fill metal cookware with desired amount of water or oil. Never fill pan
more than half way to allow room for addition of food and to avoid
boil-over of hot liquids. Never place an empty pan over an open flame.
Do not place pan on cooker at this time.
3. Open the propane tank valve two full turns.
4. Using a long match, hold the flame 2" above burner porthole. Open
the needle valve SLOWLY until the burner lights.
WARNING: If the burner does not light within 5
seconds, turn the propane tank valve and
needle valve OFF immediately. Wait at
least 5 minutes until gas fumes have
dissipated before attempting to light the
burner again.
5. After lighting the burner, open the needle valve until a large yellow
flame appears. Adjust the air shutter valve on the cooker until the
flame turns blue. Use the needle valve to adjust the flame accordingly.
6. To light the second burner, reduce the flame on the first, lit burner and
repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. Place pan with liquid on cooker. Any pan larger than 14 1/2" may not
sit properly on burner stand and could cause hot liquids to spill or
overturn cooker.
WARNING: Before proceeding read all safety
warnings and instructions carefully
before operating your cooker.
8. Bring liquid to the desired cooking temperature. For best results, use
a deep fry thermometer to check oil temperature. If oil begins to
smoke, reduce the flame to avoid igniting the oil. Never exceed 375°F
(190° C).
9. Use pan/pot with a cooking basket or strainer with handle to lower
food into hot liquid. Lower food into the pan slowly. Frozen foods
should be thawed to room temperature before placing in hot liquid.
The temperature of liquid will drop when food is added. Adjust the
flame to return to desired cooking temperature. When the desired
temperature is achieved, reduce the heat to maintain temperature.
5
INSTR-Outdoor Cooker.QXD 9/25/01 5:42 PM Page 7
10. Test food for doneness using a meat thermometer after removing from hot
liquid. Use caution as food will be very hot.
WARNING: Use extreme care when lifting basket out of pan.
Always grip pan handle with one hand while lifting
basket with the other. Failure to do so could
create a situation where you pull the pan off the
burner spilling the contents onto yourself or
someone else. Always hang basket directly over
pan as illustrated. This allows hot liquid to drip
back into the pan. Hanging the basket in any other
way could cause the pan to tip over, spilling hot
liquid.
11.When food is done, turn cooker OFF. Always turn propane tank valve OFF first,
then turn the needle valves OFF.
12. Allow cooker to cool completely, then follow instructions in the "After-Use
Safety" and "Proper Care & Maintenance" sections of this manual.
AFTER-USE SAFETY
WARNING

•
Always allow the cooker, pot and liquid to cool completely before handling.
Always disconnect the propane tank from cooker when not in use - a safety plug should be placed in the propane tank valve.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE
•
Before storing cooker, cover air shutter, top of burner assembly and POL fitting with plastic and secure with rubber bands to
prevent insects from nesting.
•
•
Cover and store cooker in a protected area away from children and pets.
Never store propane tank in an enclosed area (house, garage, etc.). Store outdoors in a well ventilated, shaded area away from
any heat source or open flame.
•
•
Due to the intense heat from burner, it is normal for paint burn off and discoloration to occur on cooker during the first few
uses.
To protect your stove from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use. We strongly
suggest storing the stove indoors in a shed, garage or storage room. Disconnect the LP tank and leave the LP tank outdoors.
•
•
Wash cooking grill with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Clean inside and outside of stove by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the
interior surface to prevent rusting.
•
If rust appears on the exterior surface of your stove, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth.
Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant paint.
