Getting Started - Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 14" Guia Del Propietario

BEFORE LIGHTING
 Do not use smoker on any table.
A) The smoker should be placed on a level, heat proof, non-combustible surface away
from buildings and out of general traffic path. The smoker is for outdoor use only
and not recommended for use on outdoor carpeted surfaces.
B) Ensure that ashes have been removed from bottom bowl and that the charcoal grate
and charcoal chamber are in place.
C) Remove the lid and center section before lighting the charcoal briquettes. Weber
recommends the use of charcoal briquettes (1) with your Weber
Cooker™ Smoker. Lump charcoal or heat beads are not recommended.
 Never use charcoal impregnated with charcoal lighter fluid.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious bodily
injury, death, or fire, as well as damage to property.
D) Open all vents on the bottom of the bowl (2).
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
A) Fill charcoal chamber with the amount of charcoal recommended in the Smoking
Guide. Heap charcoal in the center of the charcoal grate. Carefully distribute 4-5
paraffin cubes into the charcoal mound and light using a long-neck lighter or
matches (1).
 Never use charcoal impregnated with charcoal lighter fluid.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious bodily
injury, death, or fire, as well as damage to property.
B) The charcoal is ready when gray ash is beginning to form on the top coals. Spread
the coals evenly over the charcoal grate, with a pair of tongs or long-handled metal
tool.
C) Add 3-4 chunks of dry hardwood on top of the hot coals (2). More can be added if you
prefer a stronger smoke flavor.
(See Cooking Tips & Smoking Guide for more information.)
SMOKING INSTRUCTIONS
A) Place the center section (1) on the bottom section (2). Place the water pan (3) in
position on the lower brackets in the center section.
B) Using an appropriate container, fill the water pan to capacity (4). Position the lower
cooking grate directly above the water pan.
 WARNING: Do not spill any water into the hot coals. This can
cause steam and ash to rise and could cause serious bodily
injury or death.
C) If you are cooking on both the upper and lower cooking grates, place food to be
smoked on the lower grate first (5). Position the upper grate on the top brackets and
place food to be smoked on the upper grate (6).
