Preparing and Using Your Smoker
Before cooking with your Smoker, the following steps should be closely
followed to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to
properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic
flavors to your first foods. 1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills
and grates with vegetable cooking oil. 2. Build a small fire on the fire
grate, being sure not to lay coals against the walls. 3. Close door. (Position
Smoke Chamber dampers and Lid damper approximately at one quarter open.) This
burn should be sustained for at least two hours, the longer the better. Then,
begin increasing temperature by opening the dampers halfway and adding more
charcoal. Your Smoker is now ready for use. Rust can appear on the inside of
your smoker. Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on interior surfaces
will aid in the protection of your unit. Exterior surfaces of smoker may need
occasional touch up. We recommend the use of a commercially available black
high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT ! GRILLING
Wood is recommended, however charcoal or a combination of both may be used as
the fuel source for grilling, with the fuel source placed and ignited on the
fire grate. Do not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire
with no more than 4 pounds of charcoal (approximately 60 briquets) and adding
more as needed during cooking. After allowing the fire to burn down, place the
cooking grills in the smoker. Failure to read and follow instructions for
lighting charcoal may result in serious personal injury and/or property
damage. GRILL MAINTENANCE Frequency of cleanup is determined by how much your
smoker is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before cleaning
inside of smoker. Inside surfaces may be cleaned with a strong solution of
detergent and water applied with a scrub brush. Thoroughly rinse with water
and allow to air dry before using again. SMOKING AND SLOW COOKING If using the
Smoker as a smoker or slow cooker, build your fire on top of the fire grate in
the smoke chamber. Either charcoal or wood may be used, but wood is the
recommended fuel for it’s rate of burn and the flavor it imparts to the food
being cooked. Most seasoned hardwoods are good for smoking such as hickory,
mesquite, pecan, oak, and many other fruit woods. The firebox will accommodate
most split fireplace size logs (12″). Bark should be avoided or burned off
first as it contains a high acid content and imparts an acid flavor. After
allowing the fire to burn down, close the doors and control the temperature
and smoke with the dampers located on the firebox and Lid. Smoke is contained
within the chambers, which will reduce burn while imparting more smoke flavor.
Do not operate the Smoker with temperatures exceeding 450 degrees in the
smoker chamber. Place the food in the smoker chamber and monitor the
temperature. Cooking and smoking are taking place using indirect heat. There
is no need to worry about a grease fire flareup ruining the food. Do not place
food within 6″ of the opening from the firebox into the smoker chamber. A
general rule of thumb for cooking is about 1 hour per pound for smoking large
cuts of meat. Refer to a cook book for specific cuts of meats. Limit the
number of times you open the smoker chamber door as this will allow heat to
escape and extend the cooking time. HELPFUL HINTS · If food seems to be
getting too smoky or brown before the cooking time is finished, cover it
loosely with heavy duty aluminum foil. · Remove the ash after each use. ·
Covered side dishes can be warmed in smoker chamber. · To prevent flareups,
brush meat lightly with oil before grilling.
