IMPORTANT: Before use, clean and inspect the
entire smoker.
• Place and fill the wood chip box with flavoring wood
chips and place the water pan/wood chip box tray in
the appropriate location of the smoker as instructed
in the assembly section of this instruction manual.
The amount and type of wood(s) you use is entirely
up to you. Checking and adding wood to the wood
chip box is covered on page 9 of this manual.
• Place the water pan/wood chip box tray in the
appropriate location of the smoker as instructed in
the assembly instructions then carefully fill the water
pan with water (or similar liquid like beer or apple
juice) up to 1 in. below the water pan rim. DO NOT
overfill or allow water to overflow from the water
pan. Checking and adding water to the water pan is
covered on page 9 of this manual.
• Insert or adjust the smoking racks to the desired
positions. For better access to the food with tongs
or spatulas:
1. Use only the smoking racks needed for your
smoking.
2. Be sure the grids of the smoking racks run
front-to-back as shown in the assembly section.
Smoking tip: Coating the smoking rack(s) with
cooking oil or spray before placing meat will help
in after-use clean up.
• Place the food on the smoking racks in a single
layer with space between each piece. This will allow
smoke and hot moisture to circulate evenly around
the food pieces.
CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are
to be performed only while the smoker is turned off,
completely cooled and unplugged from the
electrical source.
• To clean, remove the water pan/wood chip box tray
and cooking racks from the smoker. Clean with hot,
soapy water and rinse and dry thoroughly. To make
cleaning easier, you may prefer to coat the cooking
racks lightly with a cooking oil or cooking spray
before each use.
• To clean the inside and outside of the smoker
cabinet, simply use a damp cloth. Spray washing
with a water hose is not recommended. All moisture
should be wiped away and not allowed to stay
inside or on top of the smoker.
• After the ashes are completely cool, remove
the water pan/wood chip box tray with lid and
thoroughly clean out all wood ashes and unburned
wood, and wipe the box clean of any residue.

Cooking Instructions

• Depending on the meat and size, smoking for
two to three hours at the ideal constant cooking
temperature of 225º to 250º F will get the best
results. For more tender and heavily smoked meat,
a temperature of 220º to 240º F and smoking four
to six hours (or longer) may be preferred. If time is
critical, a higher temperature range is recommended.
One common time measurement used is to allow 45
– 60 minutes smoking time per pound of meat.
Note: This will vary for bone-in and boneless meats.
