ASSEMBLY STEP 3

CONTROL PANEL / HVR SYSTEM / IGNITOR INSTALLATION

SEASONING YOUR SMOKER

Before you cook food in your Smoker, it is important to “season” your Smoker. Seasoning seals the paint and interior of your Smoker to

enhance avoring, durability, and overall performance. This is also referred to as the “break -in” Process.

To season your Smoker, simply use it as you normally would, only do not cook any food. You will need to follow all of the operating

procedures in the next few sections of this manual.

Using your desired avoring woods and marinades, burn your Smoker at low temperature (around 175°F) for 45-60 Minutes. Let the

Smoker cool, and clean out the used water and wood.

Once the seasoning is complete, your Smoker’s interior will have a durable, seasoned coating.

ADDING WATER TO YOUR SMOKER

To add water BEFORE cooking, simply remove the Water Bowl and ll it with water up to 1” below the rim. Then replace the Water

Bowl to the bottom of the Rack.

To add water WHILE the Smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the Water Bowl out beyond the Rack! The water and the Water Bowl will be

extremely HOT!

To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can or jug with a long spout.

Line the Water Bowl with aluminum foil before each use. This will make it easier to clean and extend the life of the Water Bowl.

ADDING WOOD/CHARCOAL TO YOUR SMOKER

To add wood chips BEFORE cooking, simply ll the Wood Chip Box with your choice of avoring hardwood chips. The amount and

type of wood you use is entirely up to you. One full box is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once the Wood Chip Box

is lled, place the Wood Chip Box Lid on top of the Wood Chip Box and set the Wood Chip Box in the Smoker.

To add wood chips WHILE cooking, we recommend using tongs or long handled pliers to remove the Wood Chip Box Lid and to

place the pieces into the Wood Chip Box without removing it. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED to remove the Wood Chip Box while

the Smoker is in operation.

CAUTION: The Wood Chip Box and the Wood Chip Box Lid get very HOT! Avoid handling them while in use. ALWAYS wear

protective oven mitts when handling hot components!

WOOD FLAVOR CHOICES FOR YOUR SMOKER

Small wood chips work best inside the Wood Chip Box. Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most

fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke avoring. Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. These usually produce

unpleasant avoring. Let your taste be your guide – experiment with different types and quantities of wood chunks, chips, or sticks. You

can even mix woods.

To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood chips in a separate bowl of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap

the chips in perforated aluminum foil. Most smoke avoring occurs within the rst hour of cooking. Adding wood chips after the rst hour is

typically not necessary unless extra smoke avoring is desired.

NOTE: To catch drippings that may come from the bottom of the Smoker, place a metal tray underneath.
