OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cooking Tip: Damper Adjustments
WARNING: The dampers on the smoker body and the handle on the smoke stack housing
may become very hot while cooking. Always wear a heat resistant glove when adjusting.
• For best performance, rotate the smoker so that the front or back of the body is facing the wind.
This allows the adjustment of the dampers to be more effective and accurate.
• The two dampers on smoker body should never be fully closed.
• Opening the damper of the smoke stack housing helps to exhaust both the heat and smoke.
• The key to effective smoking is to watch your heat indicator on the door and adjust the
dampers accordingly.
• Temperature maintenance is best controlled by different damper adjustment configurations.
