Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor
cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful
bacteria, follow these four basic steps:
Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy
water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.
Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-
eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean
platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.
Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.
Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.
How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly
• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns
very fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a
meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe
internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual
signs of doneness.
• We recommend food to be at least 4.4°C before cooking
in your appliance.
• Whole poultry should reach 74° C. Juices should run
clear and flesh should not be pink.
• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be
cooked to 71° C.
• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking
later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food
temperatures.
Cleaning your smoker:
Excess build up of burned grease and food particles will reduce
the smoker's cooking performance. To obtain optimum
performance:
Clean the interior and exterior at least once a season,more
•
often with heavy use.
Best results are obtained by brushing particle buildup
•
downward toward the bottom of smoker.
Using a mild detergent or hot soapy water, moderately scrub
•
interior surfaces of the smoker with a plastic or bristle brush.
