1. Follow the "Lighting Instructions".
2. With the charcoal burning well, refer to "Flavoring Wood" section for recommend-
ed amount of wood to use. To prevent flavoring wood from burning too quickly,
soak
in water for 5 minutes or wrap each piece of wood in foil and tear several (8-10)
small holes in foil. Using long cooking tongs, carefully place flavoring wood on
top of hot charcoal.
3. Place the empty water pan inside the chamber (third level from the top of smoker).
Position water pan so it is resting securely on the three 2 4" bolts.
4. Carefully fill the water pan with warm water or marinade. A full pan holds
4 quarts/1 gallon of water and will last for approximately 3-4 hours when cooking
on low. Do not overfill and allow water to overflow from water pan.
CAUTION: Use caution when filling water pan to avoid burns to hands and fingers.
WARNING: Never allow water to completely evaporate from the water pan.
5. Place a cooking grill on the same level, directly above the water pan. Place the
remaining cooking grills on top two levels.
6. Place food on the cooking grills in a single layer with space between each piece.
This will allow smoke and moist heat to circulate evenly around all pieces.
7. Close and latch the door. Allow food to cook. After 3-4 hours of cooking, check
water and charcoal level. Add water and/or charcoal if level is low. Follow instruc-
tions for "Adding Water During Cooking" and "Adding Charcoal/Wood
During Cooking".
NOTE: During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to open door to check
food. Opening the door will allow heat to escape, making additional cooking
time necessary.
8. Allow smoker to cool completely before handling. Follow instructions in the "After-
Use Safety and Proper Care & Maintenance" sections of this manual.
1. Remove all three cooking grills.
2. Follow the "Lighting Instructions". When grilling, 4-5 pounds of charcoal is suffi-
cient.

placed if smoking food. NOTE: Do not use the water pan during grilling.
4. Place food on the cooking grill in a single layer with space between each piece. This
