When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m),
additional cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a meat
thermometer to test internal temperature.
•
Opening smoker door during cooking process may extend cooking time due to heat loss.

MASTERBUILT TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SMOKING
• This is a slow smoker… allow suffi cient time for cooking. Smoker is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• Pre-season smoker prior to fi rst use. See PRE-SEASON INSTRUCTIONS.
• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.
• If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature to high. After 8 to 10 minutes or when wood
chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
• You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more
intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less
intense smoke.
• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
• 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. Never use glass,
plastic or ceramic cookware in unit.
• Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
• CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew. See
HOW TO CLEAN AND STORE SMOKER instructions.
ENJOY!
Be sure to clean smoker after each use. Make sure your smoker is unplugged and completely cool.
For rack supports, racks, water bowl and drip pan use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
For wood chip bowl, clean frequently to remove ash build up, residue and dust.
Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a non-
combustible container.
For the exterior of smoker, simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Do not use a cleaning agent. Make sure to
dry thoroughly.
After cleaning, store smoker in a covered and dry area.
When not in frequent use and using a cover, remember to check your smoker periodically to avoid possible
rust and corrosion due to moisture buildup.
