6. DO NOT overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and
cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat
circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even cooking.
7. For best results, rotate racks between the top and bottom positions during cooking.
8. Adjust smoker settings, regulator control knob and air dampers, to desired cooking temperature.
• Close all air dampers on unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fi sh or jerky,
open air dampers to release moisture.
9. If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature to 275°. After 8 to 10 minutes or when wood
chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
10. Use caution when cooking on windy days to ensure the fl ame does not blow out. If you suspect or experience
a fl ame blow out, fi rst open the door to check the fl ame and follow the IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS to re-ignite
the burner if needed. Adjust the regulator control knob setting for a higher fl ame to prevent further blow outs.
Never ignite smoker with the door closed.
11. Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
12. Once cooking is complete turn unit OFF, see IGNITION INSTRUCTIONS for turning off unit, remove the gas
cylinder and then follow CLEANING and STORING INSTRUCTIONS. CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will
extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew.
