Check the water level in water pan if the complete cooking process takes longer than 2 hours. A low water level can be detected by listening for the sound of water sizzling. Water can be added to the water pan through the smoker box door. Use caution and follow instructions carefully.

WARNING: Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the door, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

Step 1

Stand back and carefully open smoker box door allowing 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 pan.

WARNING: To avoid overturning/spilling pan of hot liquid, never pull water pan bracket out more than 4”. (See illustration)

Step 2

If water level is low, extra water or marinade will need to be added to water pan. Wearing oven mitts/gloves, slide out water pan bracket no more than 4”.

Step 3

Fill water pan to 1” below the rim. Pour slowly to avoid splashing or over-filling.

Step 4

Carefully slide water pan bracket in completely, close smoker box door and allow food to continue cooking.

Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.
