Cooking Tips

If using both cooking grills, wear oven mitts to remove food and the top cooking grill. Move food aside on the lower cooking grill and pour water into water pan through the lower cooking grill. Pour slowly to avoid splashing or overfilling.

4.Set the top cooking grill on the upper support brackets and place food back on the cooking grill.

5.Place the dome lid on smoker body. Plug smoker back into electric outlet and allow food to continue cooking.

OPTION 2: Adding Water Through the Side Door

1.Unplug the smoker from electric outlet.

2.Stand back and carefully open side door. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. Inspect the water level in pan.

3.If water level is low, add water to water pan. Stand back and carefully add water using a funnel or a container with a spout. Fill water pan to 1" below the rim. Pour slowly to avoid splashing or overfilling.

4.Close side door and plug smoker back into electric outlet. Allow food to continue cooking.

Variation in flavor can be achieved by adding wine, soft drinks, herbs, spices, bits of citrus peel, fruit juice, onion or marinades to the water pan.

Brush poultry and naturally lean meats with cooking oil, butter or margarine before cooking.

Meat should be completely thawed before cooking.

When cooking more than one piece of meat, the cooking time is determined by the largest single piece being cooked.

The meat bastes itself while cooking in the smoker. No basting or turning is necessary after the meat is placed on the grill. For added variety, barbecue sauce or marinade may be applied on meat before placing on grill.

There is very little difference in temperature and cooking time between top and bottom grill levels. When cooking different types or cuts of meat at the same time, place the meat that requires the least cooking time on the top cooking grill so that it may be easily removed first. If only one cooking grill is required, use the upper grill level for best results.

During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to lift dome lid to check food. Lifting the dome lid allows heat to escape, making additional cooking time necessary.

Always use a meat thermometer to determine the proper degree of doneness. Many variables (outdoor temperature, the number of times the dome lid is removed, proximity of food to heat source, etc.) will affect actual cooking times. When using a meat thermometer, place probe midway into the thickest part of the meat, making sure that it does not touch any fat or bone. Allow five minutes for the thermometer to register temperature properly.
