Cooking tips to remember
• Both cooking grills may be used for food at the
same time. If only using one cooking grill, we
recommend that you use the top cooking grill for
easier access to your food.
• Adding extra food to the smoker will decrease the
temperature inside and additional cooking time
may be required.
• Always cook with the lid on the smoker.
• Resist the temptation to lift the lid during cooking.
Each time the lid is removed, it will take 3 to 5
minutes for the temperature to recover.
• External temperatures and location will affect
how your smoker performs. Adjust your cooking
times accordingly.
• Remember to occasionally check the water level
in the water pan, especially if you notice the
temperature inside the smoker signiicantly rising.
Always use warm water to replenish the water
pan. Use the front door to access the water pan.
• Smoking is truly an adventure. Once you are
familiar with how your smoker works, we
encourage you to experiment with different
cooking temperatures, woods and meats. It's a
good idea to keep a smoking journal (found at
the end of this book) while experimenting. Write
down ingredients, wood quantities, combinations,
and results so you can repeat successes or tweak
your method if required.
Maintaining your Smokey Mountain Cooker™
To keep your Smokey Mountain Cooker looking
and cooking at its best, there are a few simple
maintenance tips you need to follow. If you clean
and maintain your new smoker on the inside and
the outside, your cooker will look and perform like
new for years.
It is a good idea to give your smoker a thorough
clean about once a year.
1. Make sure the smoker is cool and coals are totally
extinguished.
2. Remove the cooking grills and charcoal grate.
3. Remove any ashes.
4. Wash your smoker with a mild detergent or mild
degreasing cleaner. We recommend Weber® All
Purpose Cleaner for the inside and outside of your
smoker and water pan.
