The operation section provides basic guidelines for
lighting and using your smoker. Cooking temperatures,
times, and methods may vary depending on personal
preference, weather conditions, etc.
The thermometer provides an overall, average temperature
reading. The temp. will slightly vary amongst the interior
of the smoker (top, center, bottom, sides, rear).
ADDING ADDITIONAL CHARCOAL / WOOD CHIPS
DURING COOKING
It is recommended that all charcoal and wood chips are
loaded into the chambers, as instructed in the PRE-HEATING,
SMOKING START UP & LOADING section. However, if
additional amounts are required during cooking; FIRST
COMPLETELY CLOSE THE AIR SHUTTERS, then add
carefully and with proper hand protection. Re-open the air
shutters as needed after done loading.
CAUTION: OPENING THE FIREBOX DOOR WILL
INTRODUCE A FLOW OF OXYGEN TO THE
CHARCOAL AND MAY CAUSE A FLARE-UP!
When opening the door; open slowly to carefully
allow heat and steam to escape. Use caution and
keep hands, face, and body at a safe distance.
OVERHEATING
Should the smoker temperature rise higher than the
desired cooking temperature; please follow these tips
to slowly reduce:
• Completely close the two ash door air shutters. (If the
ash door air shutters are left closed for too long a
period; the fi re may completely turn out.)
• Completely close the chimneys.
• Fully open the front door air shutter.
If the smoker is high above the cooking temperature and a
quicker temperature reduction is neccesary;
• Crack open the door by setting the latches on the second
notch, as seen in Fig. 16-2.
Important: Use caution when handling as surfaces may
be HOT.
