Cooking with your Smoker
There are two methods of cooking with your new smoker:
• By Time - Cook your meat for a designated amount of time
(see "cooking with the timer")
• By Meat Temperature - Cook your meat until its internal temperature
hits a designated temperature. (see "cooking with meat probe")
Here, we will explain how to use these functions as well as explain a
few basics of setting up your cook.
Preheating
Preheating warms up the chamber and gets your wood chips
smoking so that your meat starts getting that delicious smoke
flavor the second you put it in the smoker.
NOTE:
Always preheat smoker with smoker box in place, including
wood chips if being used.
