OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Adding water and wood to the smoker:
1. Open top drawer for access to the water pan and wood chip box.
2. Add water to water pan and fill up to 1 in. below the rim.
3. To add wood, lift the wood chip box lid completely off and add wood to the box.
Note: The amount and type of wood used is entirely up to you. It is recommended to start with
small amounts of wood initially.
4. Once the water and wood is added, SLOWLY and STEADILY push the top drawer closed until it
comes to a complete stop. Then set the temperature and timer to begin smoking.
Note: DO NOT set temperature and timer until the water and wood are loaded and both drawers
and door are completely closed.
Checking water and wood during operation:
• To check water while the smoker is in operation and HOT, SLOWLY open the top drawer to prevent
any splashing of remaining water in water pan. Replenish water as need - BE CAREFUL NOT to
touch any part of the interior of the drawer or door, the wood chip box or the water pan with bare
skin. Then SLOWLY and CAREFULLY push the top drawer closed until it comes to a complete
stop.
• To check wood while the smoker is in operation and HOT, SLOWLY open the top drawer to prevent
any splashing of remaining water in water pan. Use a heat-resistant oven glove or mitt to
CAREFULLY open the wood chip box lid. Once the lid is open, using a long-handle utensil, stir the
remaining wood ashes flat and carefully add wood. BE CAREFUL NOT to touch any part of the
interior of the drawer or door, the wood chip box or the water pan with bare skin. Then SLOWLY
and CAREFULLY push the top drawer closed until it comes to a complete stop.
Damper vent adjustments:
The key to effective smoking is via temperature maintenance that is controlled by a steady
temperature setting and by applying different damper vent adjustments.
• Damper vent with guard (F) helps to exhaust both heat and smoke.
• Damper vent with guard (F) SHOULD NEVER BE COMPLETELY CLOSED during the smoker operation.
Completely closing the damper vent with guard (F) can cause a dangerous build up of pressure inside
the cooking chamber.
• To maintain lower temperatures, keep damper vent with guard (F) partially to fully open. Note that
this will allow the heat and the smoke to escape at the same time.
• To maintain high temperatures, damper vent with guard (F) should be positioned from its smallest
opening to partially open. This will keep in both heat and smoke during the operation.
