Adding Water During Cooking; Cooking Tips - Brinkmann ALL IN ONE Owners Manual Assembly And Operating Instructions

1. Check the water level in water pan if the complete cooking process will
take longer than 3 hours. A low water level can be detected by listening
for the sound of water simmering.
2. Lift the dome lid off the smoker body. Tilt the dome lid toward you to
allow heat and steam to escape away from your face. Use caution
since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact
with fire. Inspect the water level in the pan.
3. If water level is low, add water to water pan. If food is on top cooking
grill only, water may be added to the water pan by moving food aside
on cooking grill and pouring water down through the cooking grill.
Pour slowly to avoid splashing or over-filling.
If using both cooking grills, wear oven mitts and remove food and the
top cooking grill. Move food aside on the lower cooking grill and pour
water into water pan through the lower cooking grill. Pour slowly to
avoid splashing or over-filling.
4. Carefully fill water pan with warm water or marinade to 1" below the
rim. A full pan holds 4 quarts/1 gallon of water and will last 2-3 hours.
Do not overfill and allow water to overflow from water pan.
5. Set the top cooking grill on the upper support brackets and place food
back on the cooking grill.
6. Place the dome lid on smoker body and allow food to continue
cooking.
• There is very little difference in temperature and cooking time between
top and bottom grill levels. When cooking different types or cuts of
meat at the same time, place the meat that requires the least cooking
time on the top cooking grill so that it may be easily removed first. If
only one cooking grill is required, use the upper grill level for best
results.
• During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to lift dome lid to
check food. Lifting the dome lid allows heat to escape, making
additional cooking time necessary.
• We strongly recommend using a meat thermometer to determine the
proper degree of doneness. Many variables (outside cooking
temperature, amount of charcoal, the number of times the dome lid is
removed, proximity of food to heat source, etc.) will affect actual
cooking times. When using a meat thermometer, place probe midway
into the thickest part of the meat, making sure that it does not touch
any fat or bone. Allow five minutes for the thermometer to register
temperature properly.
