Cooking Tips - Smoker Box

• To produce more smoke and prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood chips in a separate

bowl of water for at least 0 minutes.

• To add wood chips before cooking, ll the smoker box with your choice of avored chips

(remove wood chips from water rst). The amount and type of wood you use is entirely up

to you. Once the box is lled with the desired amount, close the lid and place the cooking

grids in the proper position on the grill.

• Tips: Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.

• Allow grill to heat up before placing your food on the grill. This will allow time for the wood

chips to begin to smoke.

• Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. These will produce an unpleasant

avor.

• Do not try to add more wood chips while cooking. It is recommended that you allow grill to

cool before replacing wood chips or handling the cooking grates which may still be hot.
