GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SAFE USE OF SMOKER:
1. Do not burn trash, leaves, paper, cardboard or plywood in the smoker.
The use of seasoned hardwood is recommended. Avoid using softwood
such as pine or cedar because they are likely to throw sparks.
2. Keep all screws and nuts tight to be sure smoker is in safe working
conditions. Inspect on regular basis to ensure that the smoker is
operational.
NOTE: After repeated use, a discoloration of the metal may occur.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Burning charcoal gives off carbon monoxide, which has no
odor and can kill you. DO NOT burn charcoal inside homes,
vehicles or tents. Use only in well ventilated areas.

•When the outside temperature is cooler than 65°F
and the altitude is above 3,500 feet, we suggest
adding more cooking time. (If you are not sure the
meal is cooked, use a meat thermometer to test the
meat.)
•Do not lift your smoker lid during the smoking
process to check food. This will extend you cooking
time due to heat escape.
•If you are using only 1 grill rack, use the upper grill
rack for better results. If you need to use both grill
racks place the meat that requires the least cooking
time on the top grill rack.
