Operating Instructions - Pit Boss 2 Series Assembly And Operation Manual

Smoker is intended for outdoor use only and should be used on a hard, level, non- combustible surface away
from roof overhangs and/or any combustible material. Do not use smoker on wooden surface or any other
surface that could burn. Place the smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind and keep the
smoker away from open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your home.
Curing Your Smoker:
Before first use, cure your smoker to minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the smoker of paint
odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared.
Note: We recommend lining the water pan and wood chip pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
1. Remove water pan from smoker and do not use flavoring wood while curing your smoker. Coat all interior
surfaces of the smoker cabinet, side rack and cooking grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil
spray.
Note: DO NOT coat the electric element and the controller.
2. Plug the smoker into electric outlet.
Warning: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120 volts which is GFCI protected at 15 or 20 amps. If in doubt, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not operate any other appliances or electrical devices on the same circuit as the smoker.
3. Using your desired flavoring woods and water/marinades, burn your smoker at approximately 300°F for
45-60 minutes. Let the smoker cool and then clean out the used water/marinade and wood.
This process will allow the heat to burn off any dust or residue left during the manufacturing process.
Read all safety warnings and instructions before operating your smoker.
1. Open door and remove wire rack that supports the wood chip pan and water pan.
2. Remove lid from the wood chip pan and add wood chips. We recommend the use of wood chips, not wood
chunks. Replace the wood chip pan lid and slide back into smoker.
3. Carefully fill water pan with water or your choice or marinade to 3/4 full. Do not fill completely or water
may overflow during use.
4. Remove cooking grids and adjust the wire cooking grid support brackets to the desired height for the
items you are smoking.
5. Place food on cooking grid(s) in a single layer and leave room between each piece to allow smoke and
moisture to circulate evenly. Slide cooking grid into the wire cooking grid support brackets. Repeat steps
for each cooking grid that is used.
6. Close door and plug the smoker into electric outlet.
Warning: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120-volts that is GFCI protected at 15 or 20 amps. If you are not sure the
outlet is suitable, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate this smoker on the same circuit with any other appliance or
electrical device.
