Use and Care

Important Safeguards:

•When lifting lid off body avoid interference between lid rest hardware and cooking grate handle.

•Watch water level. Always keep water in water pan (unless you wish to brown your food), Food can burn quickly if water completely evaporates. When using smoker, be very careful when adding water to hot smoker.

•Use cooking mitts at all times as smoker will become very hot. Avoid hot surfaces by using handles at all times.

•Do not move smoker while unit is hot. Hot water and/or burning charcoal may cause serious bodily injury if spilled from smoker. Use utmost care when adding water or charcoal to smoker. Clean smoker only after completely cooled.

Using Wood Chips Or Chunks

Dried aromatic wood chips or chunks need to be saturated with water, so that when placed directly on hot charcoal briquets a smoldering smoke will result. Wood chips or chunks can be soaked too long; however, 2 hours is adequate. As a rule of thumb, use wood chunks for smoking 3 or more hours and wood chips when smoking less than 3 hours. Start with 3 wood chunks or 1-1/2 cups of wood chips.
