Step 6
Place the main body and hood onto the base pan and make sure the
main body and base pan are lined up properly to lock the three latches.
Open the top air vent.
Step 7
With coals burning strong, close the hood and allow the temperature
to reach 250˚ F on the temperature gauge. You may have to close the
bottom air shutter down to achieve this temperature. Maintain this
temperature for 2 hours.
Step 8
Increase the temperature to approximately 300-400˚ F. This can be
achieved by opening the bottom and top air shutters 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
the unit to cool completely.
NOTE: Never exceed a temperature of 450˚ F in cooking chamber. It
is important that the exterior of the smoker is not scraped or
rubbed during the curing process.
YOUR SMOKER IS NOW CURED AND READY FOR USE.
Step 1
Fill the charcoal pan with the approximate amount of charcoal (20 lbs.
maximum). Pile the charcoal towards the center of the charcoal grate.
Step 2
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid and follow the instructions on the
lighting fluid container. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from
the smoker.
NOTE: If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use
charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do
not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or any other flammable
material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacture's
warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product.
Step 3
Use a long-neck lighter or matches to light charcoal.
Step 4
The charcoal is ready when grey ash is beginning to form on the top
of coals. Spread the coals evenly over the charcoal grate with a pair of
tongs or a long handled metal tool.
Step 5
With coals burning well, carefully add wood chunks using long cooking
tongs (see "Flavoring Wood" and "Adding Charcoal/Wood During
Cooking" sections of this manual).
