Smoking
Follow these steps before plugging smoker into electric outlet.
1.
Remove dome lid and smoker body from base pan.
2.
Place flavoring wood on the wood pan and place it near the electric element. Refer to „Flavoring Wood"
section. NOTE: Do not place the flavoring wood directly on the electric element. This could cause flame
flare-up and failure of the electric element.
3.
Place empty water pan inside smoker body on the lower support brackets. Position water pan so rim is
resting securely on notched out step of all three support brackets.
4.
Place the smoker body on base pan, making sure the water pan is still in place.
5.
Carefully, fill water pan with warm water or marinade to 1" below the rim. A full pan holds 4 quarts of
water and will last for approximately 2-3 hours. Do not overfill or allow water to overflow from water pan.
6.
Place a cooking grill on the lower support brackets directly above the water pan.
7.
Place food on the cooking grill in a single layer with space between each piece. This will allow smoke and
moist heat to circulate evenly around all pieces.
8.
Place the other cooking grill on the upper support brackets. Make sure the rim is resting securely on not-
ched out step of all three support brackets. Place food on the cooking grill.
9.
With the dome lid on smoker, plug the smoker into electric outlet.
10. Allow food to cook. After 2-3 hours of cooking, check water level and add water if level is low. Follow
instructions in the „Adding Water During Cooking" section of this manual.
11.
Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food is fully cooked before removing from smoker.
12. After cooking, always unplug the smoker from electric outlet. Allow smoker to cool completely, then
clean it.
Flavoring Wood
To obtain your favorite smoke flavor, experiment by using chunks, sticks or chips of flavor producing wood such
as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite. Most fruit or nut tree wood may be used for smoke flavoring. Do
not use resinous woods such as pine as it will produce an unpleasant taste.
