dial to OFF and unplug power cord from outlet.
*Allow excess grease to drain into grease tray.
Tips For Successful Smoking:
1.
This is a slow smoker... allow sufficient time for cooking.
2.
Pre-season smoker prior to first use. See PRE-SEASON INSTRUCTIONS.
3.
Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.
4.
DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
5.
Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and cause uneven
cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking
pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even cooking. Never use glass, plastic or ceramic cookware in unit.
6.
Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
7.
Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to be emptied
periodically during cooking.
8.
Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes heat to escape and may cause wood chip to
flare up. Closing the door will stabilize the temperature and stop flare up.
9.
When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18° C), and
time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked, use a meat thermometer to test internal temperature.
10. CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew.
See HOW TO CLEAN AND STORE SMOKER instructions.
CAUTION:
When door is opened, a flare up may occur. Should wood chips flare up, immediately close door and vent, wait for wood
chips to burn down, then open door again. Do not spray with water.
Tips For Using Wood Chips
1.
There can be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through seams and turn the inside of
smoker black. This is normal.
2.
Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor Never use more than 1 cup of wood
chips at a time. Never use wood chunks.
3.
Wood chips should be level with top rim of wood chip bowl.
4.
You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke.
Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense smoke.
5.
If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature. After 8 to 10 minutes or when wood chips begin to
smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
6.
Check wood chip bowl periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as needed.
7.
Do not leave old wood ashes in the wood chip bowl. Once ashes are cold, empty bowl. Bowl should be cleaned out
prior to, and after each use to prevent ash buildup.
How To Use Water Bowl
1.
Wait until smoker reaches desired temperature.
2.
Fill water bowl with water, or liquids like apple or pineapple juice.
3.
You can also add slices of fruit, onions, or fresh dried herbs into the water to blend subtle flavors into your smoked food.
Tip: For chicken, or other foods high in moisture, little or no liquid is needed.
