OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS UNDERSTANDING AIRFLOW The heart of your smoker lies in the relationship between the Air Intake Pipes and the Chimney dampers. Opening the dampers allows more air to flow through the body of the smoker, allowing the charcoal to burn very hot and create firey embers. To cook at lower temperatures, keep the Air Intake Pipes and the Chimney dampers open only a small distance, allowing for minimal airflow and maximum heat retention in the Barrel Body of the smoker.
Pit Boss® hardwood pellets produce less than 1% of ash, an entire 40 lb (18 kg) bag of pellets will only turn into half a cup of ash, which makes clean up a breeze.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the Charcoal Basket. CARE & MAINTENANCE Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your smoker: 1.
