Check water level periodically and add water if low. For
best results and to retain heat, avoid opening the door
of the smoker while in use. When the door must be
opened, only open it briefly. The smoker will quickly
resume cooking temperature after the door is closed.
•
Always use a meat probe thermometer to ensure food
is fully cooked before removing it from the smoker.
•
After each use, and after the smoker is cooled,
carefully remove the grease pan from the bottom of the
smoker, empty the grease, and clean the grease pan.
