WOOD CHIP LOADER

• Wood chip loader and wood chip tray MUST be in place when using smoker. This minimizes the chance of wood flare ups.
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor.
• Before starting smoker, place ½ cup of wood chips in chip loader. Never use more than ½ cup of wood chips at a time. Never use wood chunks or wood pellets.
• Insert wood chip loader into smoker. Wood chips should be level with top rim of wood chip loader.
• Turn handle clockwise in direction of arrow mark on smoker to unload wood chips. Wood chips will drop into wood chip tray. Turn handle counterclockwise to upright position and leave wood chip loader in place.
• If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature to 275°. After 8 to 10 minutes, or when wood chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
• You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense smoke.
• Check wood chip tray periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as needed.
• Do not leave old ashes in the wood chip tray. Once ashes are cold, empty tray. Tray should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash buildup.

ADDING MORE WOOD DURING SMOKING PROCESS:
NOTE: Never add more than ½ cup (1 filled chip loader) at a time. Additional chips should not be added until any previously added chips have ceased generating smoke.

• Pull wood chip loader from smoker.
• Place wood chips in wood chip loader and insert into smoker.
• Turn handle clockwise in direction of arrow mark on smoker to unload wood chips. Wood chips will drop into wood chip tray.
• Temperature may spike briefly after wood chips are added. It will stabilize after a short time. Do not adjust temperature setting.

• Keep smoker door closed when adding wood chips. A flare up may occur when door is opened. If wood chips flare up, immediately close door and vent, wait for wood chips to burn down, then open door again. Do not spray with water.
• Wood chip loader will be HOT even if handle is not.
• Never use wood chunks or wood pellets

PRE-SEASONING

PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE. Some smoke may appear during this time, this is normal.

1. Make sure water bowl is in place WITHOUT WATER.
2. Set temperature to 275°F (135°C) and run smoker for 3 hours.
3. Add 1/2 cup of wood chips to the wood chip loader during the last 45 minutes to complete pre-seasoning.
4. Shut down and allow to cool.

LOADING FOOD INTO SMOKER

• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at desired cooking temperature before loading food.
• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
• Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even cooking.
• Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes heat to escape, may extend cooking time, and may cause wood chips to flare up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop flare up.
• There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door, the door latch can be adjusted to further tighten the door seal against the body.
• To adjust door latch, loosen hex nut on door latch. Turn hook clockwise to tighten as shown. Secure hex nut firmly against door latch (see diagram).
• Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to be emptied periodically during cooking.

WATER BOWL

• Wait until smoker reaches desired temperature.
• Fill water bowl to fill line with water or liquids like apple or pineapple juice.
• You may also add slices of fruit, onions or fresh dried herbs into the water to blend different subtle flavors into your smoked food.
  Tip: For chicken or other foods high in moisture, little or no liquid is needed.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

ALWAYS MAKE SURE SMOKER IS COOL TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.

• Be sure to clean smoker after each use. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew.
• For rack supports, racks, water bowl and drip pan use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• For wood chip tray and wood chip loader, clean frequently to remove ash build up, residue and dust.
• Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container.
• For the interior, glass in door (if featured), and exterior of smoker, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not use a cleaning agent. Make sure to dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, store smoker in a covered and dry area.
• Check your smoker periodically to avoid possible rust and corrosion due to moisture buildup.
