Choosing Securing

Bolt Position

1. Set the Sidekick Smoker on your side burner. Position the magnetic legs (11) on the side burner so that the Sidekick Smoker is level. You may need a small level for accuracy (See Fig 8). If the Sidekick Smoker position is not level, move the magnetic legs along the “L” slot and/or adjust the height of the legs until the Sidekick Smoker sits level.

2. The Securing Bolt is used to secure your Sidekick Smoker to the side shelf of your gas BBQ. It replaces one of the magnetic legs. Some side shelves have access in the shelf that allows the bolt to mount through the side shelf and allow it to be secured. If there is no access, choose a location (preferibly to the rear of the BBQ).

Remove the Sidekick Smoker and drill a 8 mm (5/16”) diameter hole.

Prepare smoker for use

VEDLIKEHOLD

Read all safety warnings and use and care instructions

carefully before operating the Sidekick Smoker!

Ensure the Sidekick Smoker is clear of any combustible material. Ensure the Sidekick Smoker is away from any open windows or doors to prevent

smoke from entering your home. Position the gas BBQ so the Sidekick Smoker is protected from the wind.

1. Ensure your side burner is in good working order (refer to gas BBQ owners manual) and the automatic ignition

is working properly.

2. In some cases the steel grate that is positioned over your side burner must be removed to ensure proper

ﬁt. The side burner lid must be removed to gain the necessary clearance required (refer to gas BBQ owners manual).

3. The center of the Sidekick Smoker must be positioned directly over the center of your side burner. Measure

from the center of your side burner and ensure you have 13 cm clear to the rear and 13 cm clear to the front of the side burner.

4. Now measure from the center of the side burner and ensure you have 16 cm clear from right side and 16 cm

clear to the left side.

5. Place the Sidekick Smoker over the side burner of your gas BBQ. Measure the distance from the top of your

side burner to the bottom of the Sidekick Smoker. Ensure there is a minimum of 5 cm from the top of the side burner to the bottom of the Sidekick Smoker.

6. Ensure the Sidekick Smoker is level with the 4 magnetic legs making ﬁrm contact with the steel portion of

the side shelf. Remove the Sidekick Smoker and lay it on its back on a smooth non abrasive surface. Tighten the adjustable legs using an adjustable wrench or pliers. Reposition the Sidekick Smoker over the side burner and again ensure it is level and there is a minimum of 5 cm between the bottom of the side burner and the Sidekick Smoker. Return the shelves, water tray and smoking tray to the Sidekick Smoker.

7. With the door of the Sidekick Smoker open, light the side burner. Once the burner is lit, close the door and

turn the latch to the locked position.

8. Allow the Sidekick Smoker to heat for approximately 15 minutes. This initial heating period is designed to burn

oﬀ any dirt or grease accumulated during manufacturing. After the initial heating period is complete, turn of the side burner and allow the Sidekick Smoker to completely cool.

You are now ready to use your Sidekick Smoker!

BEFORE USE:

“Seasoning” the Sidekick Smoker should be done before the ﬁrst time you use it. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil, any kind will do, to the inside including the grids. Turn on to medium heat and open the vents so they are 2/3 open. Leave on for 1 hour. You should not have to “season” your Sidekick Smoker again. To protect your Sidekick Smoker from rust, cover the unit when not in use. Always ensure the Sidekick Smoker has adequately cooled before covering.

CLEANING

To clean the grids wait until they are cool to the touch, than wipe with paper towels to remove excess build-up. To further clean them place warm soapy water and gently wash. Do not place in dishwasher or oven. After each use when the trays are cool to the touch remove them and clean out the ashes and water tray. Always ensure that ashes are properly extinguished!

Tips when cooking

TIPS I BRUK

Cooking Time

When cooking meat or ﬁsh be sure to check their internal temperature with a food thermometer! The food thermometer should be placed in the thickest part of the food away from bone, fat and gristle. When touching the thermometer use an oven mitt because it can get hot! Don’t forget to clean the thermometer in hot soapy water after every use!

The Sidekick Smoker lets you prepare your food in 5 diﬀerent ways!

Smoking:

The Sidekick Smoker lets you easily add a wonderful smokey ﬂavour to your dishes. In minutes you can transform a dull pork chop, roast or ﬁlet of salmon to a deliscious meal. During hot smoking you exose your ingredients to both smoke and heat by using quality smoke chips and water. Smoking is nice way of adding ﬂavour to your food as well as preserving it.

Roasting:

Turn you side burner into an outdoor oven. The Sidekick Smoker precise temperature control gives you the same oppurtunities you have with a stove and works perfectly as a “slow cooker”.

Baking:

The Sidekick Smoker provides terriﬁc consistent heating temperatures to deliver the perfect cooking environment. It works great whether you are making a New York Cheesecake or cornbread muﬃns.

Steaming:

The Sidekick Smoke provides good peak heating temperatures to deliver an intense steam eﬀect when quick cooking vegetables or shellﬁsh. It is also perfect if you are preheating spareribs before grilling them on low temperature.

Warming:

The best solution when cooking for a crowd! The Sidekick Smoker will keep everything warm and its damp air control system prevents food from drying out. Keep your ribs, roasts and hotdogs juicy and warm your plates before serving.
