NEVER OPERATE THIS SMOKER UNDER ANY OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION. MAINTAIN A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 10 FEET FROM OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION, WALLS OR RAILS.

WARNING:
ELECTRIC POWER CORD IS A TRIP HAZARD

MASTERBUILT TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SMOKING

• This is a slow smoker… allow sufficient time for cooking.
• Pre-season smoker prior to first use. See PRE-SEASON INSTRUCTIONS.
• 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. Never use glass, plastic or ceramic cookware in unit.
• Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
• Check drip tray often during cooking. Empty drip tray before it gets full. Drip 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 stabilize the temperature and stop flare up.
• When outside temperature is cooler than 65° F (18° C), and/or altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067 m),0 additional cooking time may be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked, use a meat thermometer to test internal temperature.
• CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and mildew. See HOW TO CLEAN AND STORE SMOKER instructions.

CAUTION

When door is opened, a flare up may occur. Should wood chips flare up, immediately close door and vent, wait for wood chips to burn down, then open door again. Do not spray with water.

TIPS FOR USING WOOD CHIPS

• there will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape through seams and turn0 the inside of smoker black. This is normal.
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor. Never use more than 1 cup of wood chips at a time. Never use wood chunks.
• Wood chips should be level with top rim of wood chip bowl.
• You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense smoke.
• If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature. After 8 to 10 minutes or when wood chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
• Check wood chip bowl periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as needed.
• Do not leave old wood ashes in the wood chip bowl. Once ashes are cold, empty bowl. Bowl should be cleaned out prior to, and after each use to prevent ash buildup.

HOW TO USE WATER BOWL

1. Wait until smoker reaches desired temperature.
2. Fill water bowl with water, or liquids like apple or pineapple juice.
3. You can also add slices of fruit, onions, or fresh dried herbs into the water to blend subtle flavors into your smoked food.
   Tip: For chicken, or other foods high in moisture, little or no liquid is needed.

1. Make sure water bowl is in place WITHOUT WATER.
2. Set the temperature to highest setting and run unit for 3 hours.
3. To complete pre-seasoning, during last 45 minutes, add 1/2 cup of wood chips in wood chip bowl.
4. Shut down and allow to cool. Some smoke may appear during this time. This is normal.

HOW TO CLEAN AND STORE SMOKER

• For rack supports, racks, water bowl, and drip tray, use a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• For wood chip bowl, clean frequently to remove ash build up, residue, and dust.
