  • Page 12 Anatomy of the Kalamazoo Smoker Cabinet CHARCOAL CHUTE DOOR: The charcoal is loaded into the charcoal chute through the charcoal chute door. Once the smoker has been started, the charcoal chute door must remain closed and tightly sealed. You will notice the door is held closed by very strong magnets.
  • Page 13 FIRE CHAMBER: The fire chamber is behind the fire door and is the area where the charcoal is burning. FIRE DOOR LATCH: When the fire door is raised into the open position, the fire door latch keeps it from closing. Release the latch to close the fire door. Wear insulated protective gloves when operating the fire door latch.
  • Page 14 PIT DOOR: The insulated pit door helps maintain the efficiency of the smoker. PIT DOOR GASKET (PREVIOUS PAGE): The pit door gasket seals the pit. Inspect the gasket occasionally to maintain proper smoker operation. The gasket is easily replaced without the need for special tools. VENTILATED DOOR: The ventilated door covers the fire side of the smoker cabinet.
  • Page 15 BLOWER DAMPER: The blower damper limits the air supplied to the fire, particularly when the blower is not blowing. The damper should be fully open when starting the pit, but can be partially closed to limit the pit temperature while smoking. PIT TEMPERATURE PROBE: The pit temperature probe is needed to monitor the temperature of the pit.

  • Page 18 How Does the Smoker Work? The Kalamazoo Smoker Cabinet is a sophisticated, gravity-fed charcoal smoker. The heat comes from a real charcoal fire, and flavorful smoke comes from just a few wood chunks. The smoker is extremely efficient because it is a sealed and insulated system. Just seven pounds of charcoal will keep the pit at 225°F for up to 16 hours.

  • Page 19: Safely Opening The Fire Door

    Working with the Fire Door and Ash Pan Safely Operating the Fire Door ƒ Wear protective, dry, insulated gloves when touching the fire door or ball valve. ƒ To open the door, smoothly lift up the ball valve (not the handle) with a gloved hand. Lift all the way until the fire door is caught on the fire door latch.

  • Page 20: Lighting The Smoker

    Before Lighting Your Smoker Each Time Ensure the smoker is clear of combustible materials, liquids, gasses and vapors, including alcohol, gasoline, aerosol containers and dry goods. Keep electrical cords from being in contact with hot areas of the smoker. Safely dispose of any ash in the ash pan, and reposition the empty ash pan behind the fire door. Do not use the smoker with overly loose-fitting clothing, especially loose sleeves that may come in contact with the hot surfaces.
  • Page 21 Lighting Method Two, Empty Charcoal Chute (Alternate): Follow steps one through six for “Before Lighting Your Smoker.” Close the fire door to keep charcoal from spilling out. Place a small amount of charcoal (about 1/2 pound) in a charcoal chimney starter. Follow the chimney starter instructions to get the charcoal started.

  • Page 22: Season The Smoker Before First Use

    LIGHTING METHOD THREE Clean and Season the Smoker Before First Use To remove contaminants that may alter the flavor of your food, we recommend a thorough cleaning, followed by a short burn (without food) to season your smoker. Use a solution of dish soap and water to wash the pit shelves, heat diffuser and grease pan. Rinse thoroughly and reinstall in the smoker.

  • Page 23: Cooking In The Smoker

    How to Use Water when Smoking (Optional): Water is not necessary in the Kalamazoo Smoker Cabinet. Smoked meats will turn out moist and tender without any need for a water pan. However, if you would like to use water in the smoker, you have three options for doing so: ƒ...

  • Page 24: Using The Pit Computer

    Using the Pit Computer The included pit computer is ideal for use with the Kalamazoo Smoker Cabinet. For complete instructions on using the interface, setting temperatures and changing modes, please consult the user manual that came with the computer. Noteworthy Features: The pit computer uses a temperature probe to monitor the temperature inside the pit.
  • Page 25 If using the food temperature probe, route the thermometer (GREEN) end through the small grommet hole in the gutter. Push the jack end up through the oblong cable hole in the computer bracket. Gently press the air outlet end of the blower into the open end of the ball valve pipe.

  • Page 29 Not-So-Basic Barbecue Rub This aromatic barbecue rub combines sweet and savory with a surprising finish of cinnamon and allspice. The recipe omits some of the usual suspects, such as onion, garlic and thyme in favor of these earthy flavors more commonly associated with non-barbecue dishes. Great on ribs and other flavorful meats.
  • Page 30 KalamazooGourmet.com...
  • Page 31 Triple S Rub (Smoky Seasoned Salt) This rub should be a staple in your pantry. It is a particularly good rub for smoked chicken wings, but we also like it with fish or rubbed on the outside skins of potatoes with some butter before wrapping them in foil and baking them.

  • Page 33 Onion Marmalade Barbecue Sauce Layers of flavor are the key to a great barbecue sauce. This one is rich and chunky, with a base of sweet, caramelized onions. A hit of red wine vinegar balances the sweetness, and barley malt syrup is the ingredient that will keep them guessing. This sauce is worth the time investment.

  • Page 37 Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches 8 HO UR S SMO KIN G TIME Nothing can beat the flavor of a good pulled pork sandwich. And, amazingly, pulled pork is just about the easiest of the classic barbecue favorites to make. The cooking time, temperature and smoke are very forgiving because a pork shoulder roast can handle almost anything you throw at it.

  • Page 43 Smoked Turkey 5 HO UR S SMO KIN G TIME An overnight brine helps create a more succulent and flavorful turkey. This brine is particularly flavorful, and the hints of orange, cloves and cinnamon really shine through. But the real key to elevating the flavor to the next level is smoking the turkey. This infuses the bird with an incredible smoky wood flavor.

    Installation 1.800.868.1699...
  • Page 46 Freestanding Smoker Cabinet Dimensions The freestanding smoker cabinet rolls on heavy-duty casters and requires no installation. Simply connect to a single-outlet outdoor-rated extension cord to power the included pit computer. The extension cord routes through the bottom of the cabinet. Do not use below an unprotected combustible surface.
  • Page 47 Freestanding Smoker Countertop Dimensions The freestanding smoker cabinet normally includes a pre-installed solid surface porcelain countertop. If you have ordered the unit without a factory-installed countertop, use the dimensions below to have your own top fabricated. ƒ Countertop material must be noncombustible and heat-resistant ƒ...
  • Page 48 The built-in smoker cabinet stands on heavy-duty stainless steel levelling legs with 1 1/2 inches of height adjustment. The smoker cabinet is intended for installation as part of the Kalamazoo outdoor kitchen cabinetry collection. If installing another type of surround or system, the structure must be a non-combustible construction.
  • Page 49 Built-in Smoker Cutout Dimensions For installation into masonry or other non-combustible surrounds, see cutout dimensions below. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES: ƒ The space between the right side of the upper structure that protrudes through the countertop and the right side of the main cabinet body is only one inch wide. This is not enough for a typical countertop section.
  • Page 50 Installing with the Kalamazoo Cabinetry Collection The built-in Kalamazoo Smoker Cabinet is built to the same specifications as the Kalamazoo Weather-tight Outdoor Kitchen Cabinetry Collection and can be installed as part of this system. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES: ƒ The space between the right side of the upper structure that protrudes through the countertop and the right side of the main cabinet body is only one inch wide.
  • Page 51 (if any levelling leg adjust freely and is not under tension, it is not bearing the load of the cabinet). If installing optional toe-kicks, route the client-supplied outdoor-rated single-outlet extension cord in through the hole in the bottom of the cabinet. Clip all toe kicks to the legs. See the Kalamazoo Outdoor Kitchen Installation Instructions for more detail.
