A meat thermometer can determine the proper amount of doneness.
Place the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat for 5 minutes to register the temperature immediately after
removing from smoker. Make sure it is not touching the bone.

1. Once the cooker is lit according to the lighting and operating Instructions on page 17, set the flame intensity
to the desired setting. When smoking with propane, the heat intensity will remain constant.
2. Use the thermometer to monitor the temperature of the smoker. If it falls lower than the desired
temperature, turn up the flame intensity by adjusting the manual valve. Adjust the damper(s) more open to
reduce heat or closed to increase heat.
3. When checking food for doneness, open the front door approximately 1-2 inches (2.5-5.0cm) and
check for flare-up before opening door completely. Quick introduction of oxygen to the cooking
chamber could lead to possible flare-up. Opening the doors adds cooking time to the food. When
the outside temperature drops below 60˚ F (16˚ C), we suggest adding more cooking time.
4. Use caution and exercise care when installing or removing the water and wood chip pans. note: when opening
rear access door, move gas cylinder to side of smoker (hinge side) in order to open door fully. when the
door is closed return the cylinder to the position as listed in Figure 2, pg. 15.
Use caution and exercise care when placing or removing food from the smoker cabinet. Racks can not be
installed or removed from the smoking chamber with food placed on them. Carefully remove food from racks
when cooking time has passed. Always wear well insulated oven mitts or use pot holders for protection from hot
surfaces.
5. See below chart for estimated cooking times. Variations will result depending upon the distance of
the food to the flame, amount of food in the smoker and the number of times the doors are opened
during cooking. a 1lb. (16.4 oz) lp gas cylinder will give you approximately two hours of normal cooking
with this appliance. when referencing the below smoking chart for cooking times, please plan your
supplies accordingly.
