Page 14: Using The Smoker Box
Using The Smoker Box: The smoker box is what enables you to add delicious smoke flavor to your foods. Your SmartChef app allows you to add wood chips during the cook with its “add chips” function. Tapping the “add chips” button will initiate a high temp cycle which will fire up your chips and get the smoke going. - Page 15 What Flavor Should I Use? There are many wood chip types that result in different flavors. Choosing a particular flavor may take some trial and error but the chart below explains which woods will provide a more heavy, full flavor and which will provide a more mild, light flavor. This is a good starting point on your way to choosing your favorite flavors.
