• Water pan should always be used when smoking. Do not
allow liquid in water pan to completely evaporate. Check
water pan every 2 hours and add water if level is low (a
sizzling sound may indicate a need for water). Follow
instructions in Step 8 of “Smoking” section of this
manual.

• Use caution when assembling or operating your smoker
to avoid cuts or scrapes from sharp edges of metal parts.

• Never add charcoal, lighter fluid, fuel or material of any
kind, other than flavoring wood to the wood chip pan.

exposed to moisture. Do not clean electric element with a
water spray or the like. Failure to adhere to this safety
