in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind and keep the smoker away from open windows or doors to prevent smoke

CURING YOUR SMOKER:
Before first use, cure your smoker to minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the smoker of paint odor that can impart
unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared.

abrasive material, these products will leave a film on the glass, and when heated, makes the glass dirty, quicker and can bake on.

same circuit as the smoker.
