GETTING STARTED BEFORE LIGHTING A) The smoker should be placed on a level, heat proof, non-combustible surface away from buildings and out of general traffic path. The smoker is for outdoor use only and not recommended for use on outdoor carpeted surfaces. B) Remove the lid and center section before lighting the charcoal briquettes. Weber recommends the use of charcoal briquettes (1) with your Weber® Smokey Mountain Cooker™ smoker. Lump charcoal or heat beads are not recommended.
GETTING STARTED SMOKING INSTRUCTIONS 3 A) Place the center section (1) on the bottom section (2). Place the water pan (3) in position on the lower brackets in the center section. 1 2 B) Using an appropriate container, fill the water pan to capacity. Position the lower cooking grate directly above the water pan. ! WARNING: Do not spill any water into the hot coals. This can cause steam and ash to rise and could cause serious bodily injury or death.
GETTING STARTED F) The water in the smoker is used to keep the temperature low. Check the water level every 3 – 4 hours. If you notice the temperatures going up in the smoker, refill the pan with hot water. G) Because raw meat is more porous than cooked meat it absorbs more wood smoke at the beginning of the smoking process. To add more wood, open the side door and, using tongs, set the chips/chunks on top of the burning coals, and then close the door.

SMOKING GUIDE Different hardwoods will impart a variety of flavors. It is best to do some experimenting to find the type of hardwood, or combination of hardwoods, that you like best. Start with the lowest amount of wood chunks; more can be added to suit your own taste. WOOD TYPE Experiment with different varieties of wood and amounts used. You can also add bay leaves, garlic cloves, mint leaves, orange or lemon peel and various spices to charcoal for added flavor.
