SMOKING TIPS
•
Slow Cooker Vessel is for slow cooking only, and not to be used when smoking.
•
Cover Smoking Chamber Lid with aluminum foil before smoking for easy cleanup.
•
To add flavoring and keep meats moist, marinate, brine or use a dry rub prior to smoking.
•
When smoking nuts or cheese, add aluminum foil to the Smoking Rack to prevent food
from slipping onto the bottom or cheeses from dripping.
•
Do not soak wood chips before smoking. Soaking will lengthen the time for the wood chips
to start smoking.
•
Meat should be placed fat side up on the Smoking Rack, with meaty side down.
•
Foods closest to the Smoking Chamber may be darker when compared to other areas of
food on other Smoking Racks.
•
Do not open Lid while smoking. Opening Lid will allow smoke to escape or change the
time.
•
No need to turn food over. Food should be smoked and/or cooked evenly.
•
For better ribs, remove the paper-thin membrane on the bone side of ribs. The membrane
can get tough and harder to eat.
•
For best results, place food on the second rack if cooking small amounts, with no food on
the bottom rack.
•
If cooking on all racks, arrange food around the Smoking Chamber for best results, and not
directly over the Chamber.
