1. There is very little difference in temperature and cooking times between the
Tips for Better Cookouts and Longer Smoker Life
upper and lower cooking grid. The food that requires the least amount of
cooking time should be placed on the upper cooking grid.
2. To get the best results with your smoker, remember to keep the water pan
filled with water or other liquids, keep your charcoal hot and keep the lid
closed.
3. To reduce flare-ups, keep smoker clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat)
and avoid cooking on very high temperatures.
4. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and
indirect cook or place on upper cooking levels.
5. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of
forks and turn foods over just once during cooking.
6. When indirect cooking roasts and larger cuts of meat, place meat onto a
roasting rack inside a heavy gauge metal pan.
7. Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality smoker brush
designed for your grid material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove
the build-up while grids are hot.
8. Allow smoker to fully cool after every use. Then protect clean cooking grids
with a light coat of cooking oil, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces
with a suitable kitchen cleaner and protect surfaces with a quality cover that
properly fits your smoker.
9. Watch barbecue themed TV shows or purchase related barbecue cookbooks
to learn helpful and interesting tips.
