IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT USING SMOKER

• Maximum temperature setting is 135°C.

• Wood chip loader and wood chip tray MUST be in place when using smoker. This minimizes the chance of wood flare-ups.

• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor.

• Check grease tray on back of unit 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 flare up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop flare 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 build-up.

• 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.

• Opening smoker door during cooking process may extend cooking time due to heat loss.

• When outside temperature is cooler than 18°C and/or altitude is above 1067 m, additional cooking time may be required. To ensure that meat is completely cooked use a meat thermometer to test internal temperature.
