COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Before each use, clean and inspect the hose and the connection to the LP cylinder. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear,
cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced before the Smoker is used. Refer to the “CHECK FOR GAS LEAK” instructions in the LP tank
connection portion of this manual.
1. Fill the Smoking Box / Wood Chip Box with flavored wood chips and place the Wood Chip Box inside the Smoker as instructed in the
assembly section of this manual.
2. Place the Water Bowl inside the Smoker in the lowest rack position as explained in the “ASSEMBLY STEP 8” section of this
manual. Carefully fill the Water Bowl with water or marinade up to 1 inch below the rim. A full bowl will last for approximately 2-3
hours. Do not overfill or allow water to overflow from the Water Bowl.
3. Insert or adjust the Cooking Racks into the desired rack positions. For better access to the food with tongs or spatulas, make sure
the Racks run from front to back as explained in the “ASSEMBLY STEP 8” section of this manual.
4. You are now ready to light the Burner. Refer to “LIGHTING PROCEDURES” In this manual. The heat from the Burner will allow the
wood chips to burn, causing the flavoring smoke to accumulate. Adjust the Dampers to control the heat.
5. Place the food on the Cooking Racks in a single layer with space between each piece. This will allow smoke and hot moisture to
circulate evenly around all the food pieces.
6. Smoking for 2 to 3 hours at the ideal constant cooking temperature of 225°F to 250°F will get the best results. This temperature is
according to the Heat Indicator mounted on the front of the Smoker. For more tender and heavily smoked meat, a lower
temperature may be preferred. If time is critical, a higher temperature range is recommended.
7. Check water level periodically and add water if low. Never allow the water to completely evaporate. Check the water level at least
every 2 hours or as necessary. For best results and to retain heat, avoid opening the Door of the Smoker while in use. When the
Door must be opened, only open it briefly. The Smoker will quickly resume cooking temperature after the Door is closed.
8. Always use a meat probe thermometer (not included) to ensure food is fully cooked before removing it from the Smoker.
