  • Page 16: Using The Smoker

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS USING THE SMOKER The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using fi ner wood chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time.
