5.6 Using the Smoker
• Add wood chips to bowl portion (inner ring) of water/wood chip bowl. If you presoak wood chips for 30 minutes in
water, drain, and then add to wood chip bowl, wood chips will last longer before burning up
• Fill the rest of the tray with water-this will add moisture to the air to keep food from drying out. Water also helps
maintain a consistent air temperature. Add juice, beer, or vinegar to the water bowl to add additional avor to whatever
you’re smoking as the liquid evaporates
TURNING THE SMOKER OFF
• Follow lighting instructions to light smoker
• Close smoker doors and let smoker heat to desired temperature before adding food
• Wood chips are necessary to provide smoke
• Keep doors closed at all times except when adding wood chips or water or adding/removing/checking on food.
Opening doors will lose smoke and heat and can cause the wood to are up
• Adjust control knob and air vent to control temperature (if temperature is getting too high even after making
adjustments-add more water to water tray)
• Open lower door to slide water/wood chip bowl out to rell
• Clean out wood chip bowl after each use to prevent ash buildup
• It is normal for smoke to quickly create a brown/black buildup along the inside of the smoker
