• "Pre-season" smoker prior to fi rst use. See page 19.
• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.

• 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. Please see manual for
more detail.
• Close air damper on top of unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fi sh or
jerky, open air damper to release moisture.
• Store smoker in a dry area after use.
