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 ﬁ sh or jerky, open air damper to release moisture.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT USING SMOKER

ASSEMBLY

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

• Do NOT move unit across uneven surfaces.

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

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

• Check grease tray on back of unit often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets 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 ﬂ are up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop ﬂ are 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.

• To adjust door latch, loosen hex nut on door latch. Turn hook clockwise to tighten as shown. Secure hex nut ﬁ rmly against door latch.

• Opening smoker door during cooking process may extend cooking time due to heat loss.

• When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m), additional cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a meat thermometer to test internal temperature.

• BEFORE ASSEMBLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

• ASSEMBLE UNIT ON A CLEAN, FLAT SURFACE.

• TOOL NEEDED: PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWDRIVER
