WARNING

LET’S GET STARTED!
• This is a slow smoker…allow suffi cient time for cooking. Smoker is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• “Preseason” smoker prior to fi rst use. See page 12.
• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.
• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
• Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking
time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure
proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even
cooking. Please see manual for more detail.
• Close air damper on side of unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fi sh or jerky,
open air damper to release moisture.
• Temperature reading on control panel will fl uctuate + or - 10 to 15 degrees as smoker cycles on
and off.
• Store smoker in a dry area after use.
• Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
• CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew.
ENJOY!
• Maximum temperature setting is 275°F (135°C).
• Do NOT move unit across uneven surfaces.
• Rear handle is NOT for lifting.
• Wood chip loader and wood chip tray MUST be in place when using smoker. This minimizes the
chance of wood fl are ups.
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke fl avor.
• Check grease tray often during cooking. Empty grease tray before it gets full. Grease tray may need to
be emptied periodically during cooking.
• Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes heat to escape and may
cause wood to fl are up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop fl are up.
• Do not leave old wood ashes in the wood chip tray. Once ashes are cold, empty tray. Tray should be
cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash buildup.
• Glass in door is tempered and will not break under normal operation.
• This is a smoker. There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape
through seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around
door, door latch can be adjusted to further tighten door seal against body.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT USING SMOKER
For grate supports, smoking racks, water bowl and drip pan use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
For wood chip tray and wood chip loader, clean frequently to remove ash build up, residue and dust.
Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in aluminum foil, soaking with water and discarding in a
non-combustible container.
For the interior, glass in door, meat probe, and exterior of smoker simply wipe down with a damp cloth. Do
not use a cleaning agent. Make sure to dry thoroughly.
Door seal and inside seam that seal attaches to MUST be cleaned with a damp cloth after each use to
keep seal in proper working condition.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED AND COOL
TO THE TOUCH BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING.
HOW TO CLEAN SMOKER
• To adjust door latch, loosen hex nut on door latch. Turn hook
clockwise to tighten as shown. Secure hex nut fi rmly against
door latch.
• Opening smoker door during cooking process may extend cooking
time due to heat loss.
• When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or
altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m), additional cooking time may
be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a
meat thermometer to test internal temperature.
