SMOKER BURNER IGNITION & USAGE
USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips.. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers, and chops, etc.., we recommend using finer wood chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster.. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken, and1 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 find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste..
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. Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for“SMOKER BURNER IGNITION.” After wood starts to smolder, turn control knob to LOW.
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes.. If you require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with wood chips and/or chunks.. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking..
Note: After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again.The smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry, and fish recipes. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.
mDANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury. ◆
CLEANING THE SMOKER
Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow..
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 smoker.To a lesser degree, a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas grill.This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas grill. ◆
