Using The Electric Smoker; First Use - Curing The Smoker; Start-Up Procedure - Pit Boss MEMPHIS ULTIMATE 2.0 Manuel De L'utilisateur

With today's lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, a factor to consider is the importance of reducing
fat intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as smoking.
As the Electric Smoker uses natural wood chips, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for
high sugar-based sauces.
FIRST USE – CURING THE SMOKER
Before using the Electric Smoker for the first time, it is important to cure the smoker to minimize damage to the finishing and rid
it of any foreign matter.
1. Remove the Water Pan and any fuel from the Wood Chip Tray.
2. Close the Air Dampers located on the backside of the Smoker Cabinet. Open the Smoker Door and clean the inside glass
using a vinegar/water solution and paper towel.
IMPORTANT: Do not use an oven cleaner, glass cleaner, or abrasive material, as these products will leave a
film on the glass, and when heated, it will make the glass dirty quicker and can will residue will bake on to
the glass.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
4. Start the Electric Smoker and operate at the highest temperature with the Smoker Door closed for 20 to 30 minutes to
burn-off the unit.

START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Open the Smoker Door and carefully ¾ fill the Water Pan with water or marinade.
IMPORTANT: Do not fill completely or overfill the water pan, as this could damage your electrical element
and/or parts while the smoker is in use.
2. Adjust the Cooking Grids to the desired height for the foods you intend to smoke. Once satisfied with the height of your
grids, close the Smoker Door.
3. Remove the Wood Chip Tray from the front-bottom of the Cart. Open the Wood Chip Tray lid, add wood chips, then slide
back into the front of the cart.
NOTE: We recommend using wood chips, not wood chunks, as wood chips are smaller and easier to fit
inside the wood chip tray. Do not use wood pellets in the Wood Chip Tray.
4. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
5. With the Smoker Door closed, turn the Smoker Control Knob to turn on the electric element inside the Smoker. Open the
Air Dampers located on the backside of the Smoker Cabinet.
6. Preheat your Smoker. The Smoker will begin to produce smoke while preheating.
7. After preheating is complete, you will notice that your wood chips will be smoking. You are ready to enjoy your Smoker
at your desired time and temperature! Slide out and place food on the cooking grids, leaving room between each item to
allow smoke and moisture to circulate evenly.
IMPORTANT: When selecting a low temperature setting after preheating, allow time for the Smoker
temperature to decrease and stabilize at the new desired temperature.
