Prior to first use, cure your smoker to minimize damage to the exterior
finish as well as rid the smoker of paint odor that can impart unnatural
flavors to the first meal prepared. Cure your smoker periodically
throughout the year to protect against rust.
1. Remove water pan from smoker and leave out during curing process.
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the smoker, dome lid and cooking
grill's with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat lava rock
pan, lava rock or electric element.
NOTE: Do not use flavoring wood while curing your smoker.
2. With the dome lid on smoker, plug the smoker into electric outlet.
WARNING: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120-volts
which is GFCI protected at 15 or 20 amps. If in doubt, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not operate this smoker with any
other appliance or electrical device on the same circuit.
3. Cure smoker for three hours, then unplug smoker from electric outlet.
Allow smoker to cool completely. It is important that the exterior of the
smoker is not scraped or rubbed during the curing and cooling
process.
IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must
be cured periodically and covered at all times when not in
use. A smoker cover may be ordered directly from
Brinkmann by calling 1-800-468-5252.
FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE PLUGGING SMOKER INTO ELECTRIC OUTLET.

element.
