Thank you for your smoker purchase!! With very little maintenance and knowledge of common features, your new
smoker will last you many trouble-free years of enjoyment. Please review the information below for a list of simple
recommendations for successfully operating the smoker.

§ It is recommended to season your new smoker before the first use. This will improve your cooking experience and the

desired taste of the food. Remove all packing materials from inside and outside of the smoker.

§ Place two pieces of the sample wood into the wood box. Completely close the wood box lid and slide over the heating

element (It will only slide back in the smoker one way).

§ Remove the shelves, then close and latch the door of the smoker. It is recommended to cover the top of the wood box lid

with aluminum foil and also the bottom of the smoker. Set the temperature control to 250° and let your smoker run for three
to four hours completely empty.

PLEASE NOTE: Make sure the wood box lid is completely closed prior to smoker use

Never use the smoker without the wood box completely inserted into position over the heating element

§ Before loading the smoker with food, we recommend you cover the top of the wood box lid with aluminum foil and also the

bottom of the smoker. You will find a small drain hole located in the bottom of the smoker, do not cover or block this
drain hole. It is important to keep this drain hole open so drippings will drain out into the drip pan.

§ You will need to attach the casters prior to sliding the drip pan in place under the smoker. You should remove the foil and

replace with new foil after each use. Remove any grease or scale from the interior of your smoker on a regular basis to
prevent flare-ups or fire.

§ Regular cleaning of the removable shelves and side rails in a dishwasher is recommended.

§ DO NOT pre-heat your smoker, as the LED light only comes on when the heating element is on. It is normal to see the

light cycle on and off during smoker use.

§ DO NOT use an extension cord as it can compromise the performance of the smoker

§ Be careful when you are emptying the wood box, it is extremely hot and could cause severe burns. Always douse the

wood box with water after removing from the smoker to insure the ashes are completely out. Never place hot ashes in the
trash as this could cause a fire.

§ Our electric smokers have a pressure applied latch system to close and are extremely efficient. In most cases you will

notice more smoke coming from the vent on top of the smoker in the first hour of use, this is normal. The amount of smoke
will diminish the longer you are smoking.

§ Once you have started the smoker DO NOT try to add more wood during the smoking process. NOTE: the wood box is

extremely hot and can cause a serious burn if touched.

§ As a rule…use LESS wood versus MORE when loading the wood box. Too much wood can cause your food to be over

smoked, leaving it with a bitter or burnt taste. Yes, your new smoker is just this easy to use and enjoy!!

§ Set the controller to run at 250°, for 4 hours:

ü Power-up the unit (plug it in)
ü Press Set once
ü Use the +/- button to set “250” in the right window
ü Press Set again, and use the +/- button to select t in the right window
ü Press Set again, and use the +/- button to select 4.0 in the right window
ü Continue pressing Set to cycle through steps C02-C06. When the two windows show a temperature and time, the

program is running. Look for the green light, above the right window to be lit.

ü You should see smoke begin in 10-15 minutes

§ Please note, green lite indicates heating element is on, red light indicates how much time has elapsed in right screen
