USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking foods like	S-650
steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using fi ner wood chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and		(1)
turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker,
we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks
to fi nd the smoke fl avor that best suits your taste.

To Use the Smoker
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
(Wet wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips or a few
larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1). As you gain experience in smoking,
increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste.
Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.
