The following are a few important facts, ps and techniques to achieve great smoking results. There are
probably as many theories on the best smoking method as there are chefs using them. With that in mind,
consider the following factors when deciding which method best fits your needs.
The Memphis Grill’s smoking mode range is 180° to 295°F. (*minimum temperature varies by model)
If you wish to smoke at lower temperatures both the Memphis Elite and Pro are calibrated to allow you to
go as low as 180° F. Whensmokingatthelowertemperaturesit’scricalthatyouuseapremiumfood

*Creosote is a gummy, foul smelling, corrosive and flammable substance that, if no precauons are taken, will coat the
insides of everything it passes through. It is formed when gases given off in the burning process combine and condense.
Typically the gases leave the burn chamber with the smoke. However if restricted too much or If the smoke is cooled below
225°, the gases can liquefy, forming creosote.
