ASSEMBLY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS**

WARNING
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

WARNING

Only use this smoker on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the smoker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.
Proper clearance of 10 feet between the smoker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when smoker is in use. Do not place smoker under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.
For household use only. Do not use this smoker for other than its intended purpose.
For outdoor use only. Do not operate smoker indoors or in an enclosed area. In windy weather, place smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products will cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from smoker.
When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with smoker lid and dampers open until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in smoker and may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback or explosion may occur causing severe burns.
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
Never add charcoal and/or wood through firebox side door or firebox air vent. When adding charcoal and/or wood, use extreme caution and follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.
When opening lid, make sure it is pushed all the way back so it rests against the lid support bracket. If lid is not resting against the bracket, it could fall back to a closed position and cause bodily injury.
The firebox lid will be extremely hot during use. Use caution when reaching into or under smoker. Always wear oven mitts or gloves to protect your hands from burns. Avoid touching hot surfaces.
Place smoker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when smoker is in use. Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.
Never move smoker when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes.
Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
Use caution when assembling and operating your smoker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.
Whether smoking or grilling, a metal bucket or tin can must be kept under the grease hole at all times to catch grease drippings and or hot embers. Check grease and/or ash level in metal bucket often and empty or change when w full. Use extreme caution as the smoker, metal bucket or tin can and its contents will be hot.
When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid, air vent and damper to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.
Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
To avoid catching fire, do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely while using smoker.
Close lid and all dampers to suffocate flame/charcoal when finished cooking.
Never leave coals and ashes in smoker unattended. Before smoker can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from smoker. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
Do not exceed a temperature of 400°F in cooking chamber. Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of the firebox and cooking chamber. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your smoker. Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
After each use, clean the smoker thoroughly and reapply a light coat of oil to interior to prevent rusting. Cover the smoker to protect it from the weather.
Use caution when lifting or moving smoker to prevent strains and back injuries. Moving smoker may require the help of an additional person.
We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.
Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this particular product are not recommended and may lead to personal injury or property damage.
Store the smoker out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.
Do not attempt to service smoker other than normal maintenance as explained in “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance” sections on page 12 of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.
Properly dispose of all packaging material.

USE CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

Curing Your Smoker

Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Stillwater, follow the instructions below carefully to cure smoker. Curing your smoker will minimize rust and damage to the exterior finish as well as rid smoker of paint odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared on your Stillwater.

Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the smoker including cooking grills and charcoal grates with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Step 2
Place a charcoal grate in firebox. Place cooking grills in cooking chamber.
Step 3
Place a metal bucket on bracket under grease hole. A metal bucket must be placed under grease hole at all times.
Step 4
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire in the firebox.
You may use charcoal and/or wood as fuel in the Stillwater (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual).
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with once the curing process has been completed. Open the firebox air vent approximately 1″ to 2″ and smokestack damper halfway. When charcoal is burning strong, carefully place the hot coals in center of firebox.
WARNING: Keep hot coals away from the firebox air vent to prevent coals from falling out.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 7.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8 to 10 pounds of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed.
Place the charcoal in center of firebox.
WARNING : Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid as a flash may occur. This will cause charcoal to burn hot enough to damage paint finish. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.
Step 5
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open, wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the smoker.
Step 6
Open the firebox air vent approximately 1″ to 2″ and smokestack damper half way. With firebox lid open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). Charcoal lighting fluid must be allowed to completely burn off prior to closing firebox lid.
WARNING : Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in smoker and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.

Step 7
With coals burning strong in the firebox, close the lid. Use a temperature gauge to monitor temperature. A temperature of approximately 250°F in the cooking chamber is desired.
Maintain this temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
Step 8
Increase the temperature to approximately 350°F to 400°F. This can be achieved by opening the firebox air vent and smokestack damper and adding more charcoal and/or wood (see “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual). Maintain this temperature for 1 hour then allow unit to cool completely.
NOTE : Never exceed a temperature of 400°F in cooking chamber.
It is important that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT : Cure your smoker periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust.
YOUR STILLWATER IS NOW CURED AND READY FOR USE.

Smoke Cooking Tips

During the smoking process, avoid the temptation to open lids to check food. Opening the lids allows heat and smoke to escape, making additional cooking time necessary.
Food closest to the firebox will cook and brown faster. Rotate food midway through the cooking cycle. If food is excessively browned or flavored with smoke, wrap food in aluminum foil after the first few hours of smoking. This will allow food to continue cooking without further browning or smoke flavoring.
When cooking fish or extra lean cuts of meat, you may want to try water smoking to keep the food moist. Before starting a fire in firebox, place charcoal grate in cooking chamber. Use a flat bottom metal pan that is shallow enough to fit between the charcoal grate and cooking grill as a water pan. Set the metal pan on charcoal grate under food and cooking grill and fill with water or marinade until q full.
CAUTION : Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Liquid in water pan will be extremely hot and can scald or burn.
Always allow liquid to cool completely before handling. Do not allow liquid to completely evaporate from water pan.
Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from smoker. A meat thermometer may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling 1-800-468-5252.

Flavoring Wood

To obtain your favorite smoke flavor, experiment by using chunks, sticks or chips of flavor producing wood such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke flavoring.
Do not use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
Sticks of wood 8″ to 12” long and 2″ to 3″ thick work best. A lot of wood is not required to obtain a good smoke flavor. A recommended amount for the Stillwater is 5 to 6 sticks of wood. Experiment by using more wood for stronger smoke flavor or less wood for milder smoke flavor.
Additional flavoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking process. However, it may be necessary when cooking very large pieces of food. Follow instructions and cautions in the “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual to avoid injury while adding wood.

Regulating Heat

To increase heat and air circulation, fully open firebox air vent and smokestack damper. If increased air circulation does not raise temperature sufficiently, more wood and/or charcoal may be needed. Follow instructions in “Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking” section of this manual.
To maintain the temperature, more wood and/or charcoal may need to be added during the cooking cycle.
NOTE: Dry wood burns hotter than charcoal, so you may want to increase the ratio of wood to charcoal to increase the cooking temperature. Hardwood such as oak, hickory, mesquite, fruit and nut wood are an excellent fuel because of their burning rate. When using wood as fuel, make sure the wood is seasoned and dry. DO NOT use resinous wood such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase cooking temperature.

Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking

Place remaining coals and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and completely saturate with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
With a garden hose, completely wet surface beneath and around the smoker to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
Allow metal bucket and its contents to cool completely before removing. Dispose of contents properly.
Cover and store smoker in a protected area away from children and pets.

Proper Care & Maintenance

Cure your smoker periodically throughout the year to protect against excessive rust.
Wash cooking grills and charcoal grate with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat grills and grate with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray.
Clean inside and outside of smoker by wiping off with a damp cloth.
Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to the interior surface to prevent rusting.
If rust appears on the exterior surface of your smoker, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-temperature resistant paint.
Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray to minimize rusting.
