Step 3
After 20-25 minutes, charcoal should be ready for cooking and/or adding woodchips. Refer to the
next section before adding wood chips to pre-lit charcoal.
DANGER: Closing the smoker body door and offset lid during the lighting procedure could
trap fumes from the charcoal lighting fluid in the smoker boxes and may result in a flash-
fire or explosion when door is opened, resulting in property loss, personal injury or death.
Never attempt to add more lighting fluid to the charcoal once it has been lit.
ADDING WOOD CHIPS (BEFORE AND DURING COOKING)
WARNING: Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact
with fire. When opening the door, keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam
and flame flare-ups.
Presoaked Wood Chips
Soak the desired amount of chips in water for 30 minutes. Wrap the wood chips in aluminum foil
and poke holes on the top of the foil wrapping. FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW BEFORE ADDING
PRESOAKED WOOD CHIPS.
Dry Wood Chips
Dry wood chips can be placed directly onto the pre-lit charcoal with or without aluminum foil.
FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW BEFORE ADDING DRY WOOD CHIPS.
The amount and type of wood used is entirely dependent on the desired amount of flavor. Refer to
the chart on the next page for tips on paring wood chips with various food types.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open the offset lid allowing heat and steam to escape away from your face.
Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. Wood can
be added by either removing the cooking grates with flame retardant oven mitts/gloves OR using the
side pull out tray.
Step 2
Wearing flame retardant oven mitts/gloves, use long metal cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes
on hot coals. Use the long metal cooking tongs to add wood chips (and/or charcoal) to directly onto
the charcoal, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may
occur causing severe burns.
Step 3
Allow the ashes to completely cool before reusing or cleaning the smoker.
