TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

LET’S GET STARTED!
• This is a slow smoker… allow suffi cient time for cooking. Smoker is for OUTDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. • “Pre-season” smoker prior to fi rst use. See PRE-SEASON
INSTRUCTIONS.
• Pre-heat smoker for 15 to 30 minutes at max temperature before loading food. • 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. • Close air damper on back of unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fi sh or jerky, open air damper to release
moisture. • Store smoker in a dry area after use. • Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times. • CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent rust, mold and mildew. Note: 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.
ENJOY!
