Troubleshooting, cont’d How do I know when the meat is smoked? You can identify that your meat is fully smoked by the distinctive color that develops as a result of the carbon compounds combining with the meat pigments. Also, the cures that are used will give smoked meat a red color.
Cleaning and Maintenance Your smokehouse has been designed to give you years of trouble-free service, provided that it is properly maintained. After each use, unplug the smokehouse and allow it to cool. Do not try to clean it while it is still hot. Wipe it down with a good cleaner or detergent. If possible, avoid scouring the surface as this will mar the finish and promote sticking in sub- sequent uses.
