A simple wall vent fan is adequate in many locations. Fasten no pipes to oven vent. An optional vent hood for your smoker is available from COOKSHACK. The stainless steel Smokehood incorporates a removable grease filter and an exhaust fan. It mounts directly on top of the smoker and removes the smoke vented during normal smoke/cooking.
You may use any fruit or nut hardwood in your smoker, as long as it has good flavoring abilities. The most popular woods for smoking are hickory, mesquite and apple. Any of these will work in your smoker and are available from Cookshack. Other regional favorites are alder, beech, cherry, apple, pecan, maple, oak, buttonwood, and mangrove.
When smoking thick items, such as turkeys or large hams, remove alternate grills. When hang-smoking ribs, remove all except the top and bottom grills, and raise side racks to highest position. Cookshack Model 150/160 SmartSmoker Oven...

Always disconnect the oven from its electrical supply before cleaning or servicing. Your Cookshack smoker must be kept clean. Loose grease and scale should be removed regularly to prevent buildup, which may cause strong fumes. It is desirable to allow seasoned coating, such as that found on a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, to remain on the oven walls.
Periodically check electrical plug and wire for any type of wear or damage. Twice annually put two drops of lightweight oil on the hinge pins to prevent binding. Check casters for free movement. Cookshack Model 150/160 SmartSmoker Oven...
