SMOKER BURNER IGNITION
&
USAGE
USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like
steaks, burgers, and chops, etc .. we recommend using finer wood chips because they
1gnite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken, and
turkeys. etc .. we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
prov1de smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker,
we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chu nks
to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet
wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few larg er
chunks in the bohom of the smoker body (1 ). As you gain e xperience in smoking,
increase or decrease the amount of wood to su1t your taste.
Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food. Ught
the smoker burner by following the instruc tions for "SMOKER BURNER IGNITION."
Alter wood starts to smolder. turn control knob to LOW.
Smoke will start in approximately tO minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you
require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and/or chunks. Keep the lid
of the grill closed while cooking.
Note: Aher refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again. The
smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry, and fish recipes. Cook with the lid down
according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.
&
DANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the
wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.
CLEANING THE SMOKER
Before each use. empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow.
Note: Smoking will/eave a "smoke"residue on the surfac e of the smoker. This residue
cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree, a
"smoke"residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill. This residue need not be
removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill. •
