Using the Smoke-It-Tray

The Smoke-It-Tray

uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking

foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using fi ner wood chips
because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts,
chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood chips because they ignite
slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using
your Smoke-It-Tray

, we encourage you to experiment with different types of wood

chips and chunks to fi nd the smoke fl avor that best suits your taste.

To use the Smoke-It-Tray

As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
(Wet wood will produce more smoke fl avor.) Place a handful of wood chips in the
bottom of the Smoke-It-Tray

. As you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease

the amount of wood to suit your taste.
Note: Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.

ƽ WARNING

Make sure that grill is off and cool before handling cooking
grate and/or Smoke-It-Tray
