Using the Steam-N-Chips Smoker

The Steam-N-Chips Smoker cooks with both Weber FireSpice Wood Chips and Chunks. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using the FireSpice Chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your Steam-N-Chips Smoker, we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of FireSpice Chips and Chunks to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.

To use the Steam-N-Chips Smoker

As a starting point, place a handful of FireSpice Chips or a few FireSpice Chunks in the bottom of the smoker body. Figure 4. Since the chunks vary in size, place as many as you can in the smoker allowing room for the water pan. As you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste. Fill water pan, place it in the smoker and close the smoker lid.

Light the barbecue and preheat with all burners on HIGH, lid down, for 10 minutes or until the thermometer registers 500°F - 550°F. Adjust the burners for cooking; MOM or LOL will be your best settings for long duration smoking. Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with FireSpice Chips and/or Chunks and refill the water pan with water. The Steam-N-Chips Smoker may be used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and fish recipes in the gas barbecue cookbook. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.

Note - After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again.

DANGER

Do not use any flammable fluid in the Steam-N-Chips Smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.

Cleaning the Steam-N-Chips Smoker

Before each use, empty the Steam-N-Chips Smoker of ash to allow proper air flow. Accomplish this by lightly tapping the sides of the smoker and stirring the ashes so that they sift through the bottom and fall into the bottom tray of your barbecue. Remove bottom tray and empty.

Note - Smoking will leave a "smoke" residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the Steam-N-Chips Smoker. To a lesser degree a "smoke" residue will accumulate on the inside of your Weber Gas Barbecue. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your Weber Gas Barbecue.
