OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ADDING WOOD CHIPS
To add wood chips before cooking, wrap the desired amount of wood chips in aluminum foil and
place directly onto the charcoal. Poke holes on the top of the foil wrapping to allow smoke to escape.
Wood chips can also be placed directly onto the charcoal without aluminum foil. The amount and type
of wood you use is entirely dependent on the desired amount of flavor.
To add wood chips while cooking, follow the directions below.
