USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like
steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer wood chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and
turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker,
we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks
to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.
TO USE THE SMOKER
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet
wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larger
chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1). As you gain experience in smoking,
increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.
Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.
Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker Burner
After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to "LOW".
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you
require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and /or chunks. Keep the
lid of the grill closed while cooking.
Note: After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again.
The smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry and fish recipes. Cook with the lid
down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.
Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the
wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.
LIGHTING THE SMOKER BURNER
Failure to open the lid while igniting the grill, or not waiting
5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the grill does not light,
may result in an explosive flare-up which can cause serious
bodily injury or death.
SMOKER BURNER SNAP IGNITION
Note: The control knob snap igniter creates a spark from the igniter electrode to the
burner lighting tube. You generate the energy for the spark by pushing in the control
knob and turning to "START/HI". This will ignite the smoker burner.
WARNING: Check hose before each use of grill for nicks,
cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be
damaged in any way, do not use the grill. Replace using only

CLEANING THE SMOKER
Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.
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 smoker. To a lesser degree a
"smoke" residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not
be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill.
* The grill illustrated may have slight
differences than the model purchased.
