STANDARDS AND CODES INFORMATION
Your Weber Gas Barbecue is a portable outdoor cooking
appliance. With the Weber Gas Barbecue you can grill,
barbecue, roast and bake with results that are difficult to
duplicate with indoor kitchen appliances. The closed lid
and Flavorizer Bars produce that "outdoor" flavor in the
food.
■ After a period of storage and/or nonuse the Weber
Gas Grill should be checked for gas leaks and any
obstructions in the burner tubes before using. Refer
to Maintenance Section.
■ Check that the areas under the control panel and the
bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct
the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
The Weber Gas Barbecue is portable so you can easily
change its location in your yard or on your patio.
Portability means you can take your Weber Gas
Barbecue with you if you move.
■ The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked
for any obstructions. Refer to Maintenance Section.
Operating Area
The natural gas supply is easy to use and gives you more
cooking control than charcoal fuel.

supply is being tested at high pressures. This
appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
■ Check that the areas under the control panel and the
bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct
the flow of combustion or ventilation air. (See
Maintenance Section.)

necessarily comply with the Canadian Installation codes,
particularly with piping above and below ground. In Canada
the installation of this appliance must comply with local
codes and/or Standard CAN/CGA-B149.1 (Installation
Code for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment).
■ Turn off your Weber Gas Barbecue when the gas
supply is being tested at low pressures. This appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at the
pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

USING THE STEAM-N-CHIPS SMOKER
The Steam-N-Chips Smoker cooks with both Weber
FireSpice Wood Chips and Chunks. For best results with
faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc.,
ƽDANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid in the
Steam-N-Chips Smoker to ignite the wood.
This will cause serious bodily injury.
we recommend using the FireSpice Chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods
such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend
using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain
experience in using your Steam-N-Chips Smoker, we
encourage you to experiment with different combinations of
FireSpice Chips and Chunks to find the smoke flavor that
best suits your taste.
Cleaning the Steam-N-Chips Smoker
Before each use, empty the Steam-N-Chips Smoker of
ash to allow proper air flow. Accomplish this by lightly
tapping the sides of the smoker and stirring the ashes so
that they sift through the bottom and fall into the bottom
tray of your barbecue. Remove bottom tray and empty.
To use the Steam-N-Chips Smoker
Note - Smoking will leave a "smoke" residue on the
surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed
and will not affect the function of the Steam-N-Chips
Smoker. To a lesser degree a "smoke" residue will
accumulate on the inside of your Weber Gas Barbecue.
This residue need not be removed and will not adversely
affect the function of your Weber Gas Barbecue.
As a starting point, place a handful of FireSpice Chips or a
few FireSpice Chunks in the bottom of the smoker body.
Figure 4. Since the chunks vary in size, place as many as
you can in the smoker allowing room for the water pan. As
you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the
amount of wood to suit your taste. Fill water pan, place it in
the smoker and close the smoker lid.

Light the barbecue and preheat with all burners on HIGH,
lid down, for 10 minutes or until the thermometer registers
500°F - 550°F. Adjust the burners for cooking; MOM or
LOL will be your best settings for long duration smoking.
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as
long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill
the smoker with FireSpice Chips and/or Chunks and refill
the water pan with water. The Steam-N-Chips Smoker may
be used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and fish
recipes in the gas barbecue cookbook. Cook with the lid
down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.
Note - After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to
15 minutes to start again.

MAINTENANCE
Spider Stopper Guards
ƽDANGER
Your Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance,
is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in
the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the
normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of
the air shutter. Figure 5. This could result in a fire in and
around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing
serious damage to your barbecue.
Failure to correct these symptoms may
result in a fire which can cause serious bodily
injury or death and cause damage to property.
Inspection and Cleaning of the Spider
Stopper Guards
Venturi
To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control
panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their
outside surfaces. If they are dirty, brush off the outside
surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle
brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there
are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in
the fit around the burners or valves.

The Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits tightly
around the air shutter section of the burner tube and the

We recommend that you inspect the Spider Stopper
Guards at least once a year. Also inspect and clean the
Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following
symptoms should ever occur.
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames
appearing yellow and lazy.
2. Barbecue does not reach temperature.
3. Barbecue heats unevenly.
4. One or more of the burners do not ignite.
