COOKING INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Before each use, clean and inspect the hose and connection to the LP gas cylinder. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced before the smoker is used. Refer to the “leak test” instructions. • Fill the wood chip tray with wood chips that have been soaked in water at least 15 minutes and place the trays inside the smoker. • Carefully fill the water pan with water or marinade 3/4 full.

Smoking Guidelines, Tips & Recipes TIPS & TECHNIQUES Types of wood to use for smoke: • Always use a hardwood that has been seasoned for at least 6 months. • We recommend using Pecan, Hickory, Oak, Apple, Alder or Mesquite. • Never use any resin woods like Pine or Cedar. Note: It is necessary to soak the wood prior to smoking. In a gas smoker, soaking the wood chips will prolong the life of the wood chips. It will also help prevent your wood chips from catching fire.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE EACH USE: CAUTION: All care and maintenance procedures are to be performed only while the smoker is turned off and cooled. • Clean the water pans and cooking grids with hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. You may prefer to coat the water pans and cooking grids lightly with cooking oil or cooking spray. • Frequently check and clean the venturi and burner for insects and insect nests.
COOKING GUIDELINES Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you different results based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time. Practice makes perfect. The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-after Pink Ring) on your meats.
