Hello,

The truth is that the user manual/instruction for your propane smoker is not available anywhere online. The manufacturers of this unit did not make it available. I went further searching and couldn't find any.

I would suggest you contact the manufacturer of this unit via phone or e-mail and request for the instruction/user manual from them. They might give it to you or direct you to a dealer where you can get the instruction/user manual.

This is the best you can do to get the instruction/user manual you are requesting for. Go to the propane smoker's website, check "Contact Us" and you would see their e-mail and phone number.

Below are some instructions that may help you with your propane smoker;

Set Up the Tank

The first thing to do in using your propane smoker is to connect the propane tank to the smoker. Open its valve by turning it in a clockwise direction. Next, you need to locate the wood chip box. Fill the box with any wood that you prefer, like hickory, mesquite or oak.

The wood chips when lit produce a smoky flavor that is absorbed by the food in the propane smoker. Each type of wood produces its own distinct flavor. Remember to soak the wood chips for at least an hour before using them so that they do not burn quickly. Soaking the wood chips also helps to create more smoke inside the propane smoker.

Fill the Water Box

After filling the wood chip box, you need to fill up the water box of the propane smoker. It is usually located right above the wood chip box. You can fill the water box with water or with sand. You can leave it empty, but it is best filled with water because the evaporation during the cooking process keeps the food from getting dry and tough.

When cooking with a propane smoker, moisture is important. Keep adding water when the level in the box is low. To add more flavor to your food, you can also add spices and seasonings to the water.

Cooking Time

The propane smoker is almost ready. All that is left to do is turn on the smoker and adjust the temperature. Most models have a rotary dial that controls the level of temperature in the smoker. The temperature depends on the type of food that will be cooked.

You should use a higher temperature for thick slices of meat and a lower temperature for thin slices of meat or for vegetables. Once you see smoke coming out of the smoker, it is time to put in your meat or vegetables. Cooking time depends on the kind of food being cooked and the thickness of the meat being smoked.

I hope this helps.

Good luck.

I would contact a propane distributor, They should be able to locate the part. I don't know where your at but the one in my area (Central Oregon is Ed Staub and Sons )

OK - you may not like this answer, but it is what is is :^)

Its common to find kits that convert propane to natural gas (NG) but not the other way around. This is because NG has less energy per square foot than propane, therefore, the holes in your NG grill controls and burners will be bigger to move more gas and get the BTU's you need.

When you convert from propane to NG, you can simply drill the holes bigger and remove the regulator. But the reverse is not practical because you can't make the holes in a NG grill smaller without buying all new burners and control knobs. I guess that's the bottom line - your "kit" is simply to replace the burners and controls with propane-specific parts. You might be better off to just buy a new grill by the time you go through all that. If you have a Weber, their web site has all the manuals and part numbers you would need.

Keep in mind that propane tanks are under higher pressure and you MUST have a regulator. I've heard of some people that simply slap a regulator on their NG grill, but you will not get even burning or proper performance (again because the holes will be too big). In my opinion, it's simply not worth the danger to you or your family.

Weber does not sell conversion kits, they say liability to high. You need to purchase new grill.
