1. This Big John unit is designed FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
2. Place the E-Z Way Roaster Oven on a level area clear of combustible materials. Using the adjustable drop leg, slightly elevate the tongue of the trailer so the grease will drain towards the rear of the unit. A grease tube runs out the rear of the unit, and a container must be placed under the drain to collect the drippings.
3. Securely connect regulator to propane cylinder and test for leaks according to the instructions in the PROPANE SAFETY section of these instructions. Cylinder should always be turned OFF and have the safety plug installed when transporting or not in use.
4. The stainless steel tray has two different size handles. Position the large handle side of the tray towards the rear end of the unit. If the tray is not installed correctly, the hood will not close. Do not force the lid closed. Check the tray and reposition.

Operation

1. Open main cylinder valve.
2. The E-Z Way Roaster is equipped with a manual control valve attached to a thermocouple. A placard with operating instructions is located on the control valve housing. Read them now.
3. To light the E-Z Way Roaster:
   1. Turn Control to Pilot Position.
   2. Depress dial - hold for one (1) minute
   3. Press electronic ignitor, holding dial down, until pilot lights.
   4. Keep dial depressed for 1 minute - release and turn dial counterclockwise to full ON position.
   5. Turn control to adjust the flame.
   6. If pilot fails to ignite, retry steps 2 & 3.
   7. After burner ignites, allow the roaster 10 to 15 minutes to heat up to your selected cooking temperature.
   8. If using the E-Z Way to reheat foods or as a griddle, plug the grease drain and remove the grill rack. Place food directly on the inside stainless steel pan. If roasting or smoking meat, use the grill rack provided. We suggest roasting and smoking at 225º to 275º F. A meat thermometer should be used to insure the finished product is thoroughly cooked.
   9. Authentic, smoked barbecue flavor is obtained by using the wood smoke trough. The most effective way to use the smoker trough is to use wood chips that have been soaked in water for at least 24 hours prior to use. Big John has an assortment of smoking pellets available. Give us a call.
      
4. To turn off:
   1. Rotate knob clockwise to pilot position.
   2. Press down and turn to OFF position.

• The E-Z Way requires you to use a 2" ball. The latch must be down and secured. Safety chains are included and must be used.
• Check with your State Department of Transportation concerning lighting and licensing of the unit. Light kits for the E-Z Way area available.
• We suggest that the wing nut and clamp for the wood trough be kept snug when not in use. It is also very important to have this clamping device secured when traveling.
• Secure the latches on the hood prior to transporting.

• The air mixer and orifice assembly need to be cleaned periodically to insure that the proper amount of propane is entering the unit. If a reduction in operating temperature is noticed, the following steps should be immediately performed:
  A. Carefully unscrew the orifice from the air mixer assembly.
  B. Clean the opening of the orifice using a 7/64" drill bit, or a pipe cleaner.
  C. Using some type of air pressure, remove any foreign objects from inside the air mixer

• Never use or store cylinders indoors.
• Keep main cylinder valve securely closed when not in use. WARNING: Propane tank valves are designed to work completely open and/or completely closed. Never just crack the valve.
• Always position the LP cylinder so that the connection between the valves and the regulator will not cause sharp bends in the hose.
• The POL connector on the regulator screws in to the valve outlet of a 30 lb. cylinder, by turning counterclockwise (to the left) only.
• Make sure the connector is free from scratches or nicks which can cause leaks.
• There are two (2) types of connectors (see Diagram A and Diagram B)
• DISCONNECTING AND TRANSPORTING CYLINDERS FOR REFILLING:
  1. Turn off all control knobs and close the main cylinder valve.
  2. Place cylinder plug snugly in the main cylinder valve outlet.
  3. Always transport and store LP cylinders in a secured, upright position.
  4. Never keep propane cylinders in a hot car or truck. Heat could cause the relief valve to discharge propane and create a dangerous situation.
• RECONNECTING A FILLED 30 lb. CYLINDER:
  • Remove the main cylinder valve plug.
  • Thread the POL Connector snugly into the main cylinder valve by turning counterclockwise (to the left).
  • What you do next depends on whether you have a soft nose connector with a rubber ring or a hard nose connector:
• WITH A SOFTNOSE CONNECTOR (DIAGRAM A):
  If there is a hand wheel, tighten firmly by hand, or use a wrench. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. The rubber O ring must be in place on soft nose POL connectors, otherwise it may not seat and form a good seal.
• WITH A HARDNOSE CONNECTOR (DIAGRAM B):
  Use 8" adjustable wrench. Tighten firmly but do not use excessive force.
• Always test for leaks according to the diagram below.
• If you suspect a problem, have your grill or tank serviced by a qualified propane dealer.
