• "Preseason" smoker prior to first use. See page 8.

• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.

• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.

• Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking

time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even cooking. Please see manual for more detail.

• Close air damper on top of unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fish or jerky, open air damper to release moisture.

• Temperature reading on control panel will fluctuate + or - 10 to 15 degrees as smoker cycles on and off.

When ready to smoke remove ham from dish and stud with cloves. Place ham in preheated 225°F (107°C) smoker. Cook for about 2-3 hours. Baste with syrup mixture at least 2 times during cooking time. Before last hour of smoking, decorate ham with canned pineapple and cherries and baste. Internal temperature of ham should be at

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT USING SMOKER

PARTS LIST

• Maximum temperature setting is 275°F (135°C).

• Wood chip loader and wood chip holder MUST be in place when using smoker. This minimizes the chance of wood flare ups.

• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor. See “Wood Smoking Guide for Meats” section in this manual.

• Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray when full. Grease tray may need to be emptied periodically during cooking.

• Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes heat to escape and may cause wood to flare up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop flare up.

• Do not leave old wood ashes in the wood tray. Once ashes are cold empty tray. Tray should be cleaned out prior to and after each use to prevent ash buildup.

• This is a smoker. There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door, door latch can be adjusted to further tighten door seal against body.
