How to Use the Electric Smoker

1.  Place the food material on the racks ensuring there is space between the pieces for good heat circulation.
2.  Place the drip tray on the bottom rack.
3.  Place wood chips in the Chip Bowl and place the chip bowl in the tripod bracket. 4 Close the front door, ensuring that the magnetic catches are holding the door CLOSED.
4.  Adjust the exhaust vent to the desired position.
5.  Plug in the power cord and turn the on/off switch to the “on” position. The switch will turn green showing that the smoker is now heating.

Smoking Time
The smoking time is difficult to specify by the manufacturer. The unit is designed for outdoor use and outside temperature and wind conditions can greatly affect the time required to smoke a product. Low temperature and strong wind will increase the time required. Also, the house current, whether or not an extension cord is being used, and the amount of product being smoked will have an effect on the length of time required to smoke the products.

HELPFUL HINTS

Drip tray
This electric smoker is not a water smoker – you do not need to add water unless you want to steam your food. The drip tray catches the grease and drippings from the food you are smoking.

Chip bowl
This unit uses an 1600W heater for quicker heat-up and more consistent smoking. The chip bowl should always be placed in the tripod bracket, not directly on the heating element, to ensure the unit is operating as designed.

Wood chips
The smoke from the wood chips adds flavor to the food. Any kind of aromatic hardwood, such as mesquite, apple, cheery, pecan, or hickory can be used. Wood chips work much better than the larger chunks. Use only a handful of chips – too much smoke leaves a strong aftertaste.

Grease Absorbent
The drip tray will NOT catch all the grease and food drippings – that not caught by the drip tray will be collected on the bottom plate. For ease of clean-up, a thin layer of grease absorbent should be placed in the bottom of the smoker. Use granular oil absorbent material (like that used to soak up oil on a garage floor). Do NOT use a scented kitty litter or any other chemically treated material. The grease absorbent material should be replaced after using the smoker 5 or 6 times.

CARE AND CLEANING

•  Always disconnect the unit before cleaning.
•  Clean the unit using a small amount of water and mild soap or baking soda with a sponge or scrub brush.
•  The electrical box and on/off switch are watertight, so a small amount of water sprayed or wiped on these surfaces will not be detrimental to the unit.
•  The racks, chip bowl, drip tray, and hanging hooks can be removed and washed in a sink.
