Seasoning the Smoker (Before Initial Use)
To season your smoker, follow these steps WITHOUT the use of food:
1. Place desired flavoring woods in wood chip box and fill to 3/4 full. DO NOT put water
in water bowl.
2. With the smoker door closed, turn the smoker on by pressing the Power button ( ) .
3. Press the Temperature button ( ) and use the "UP" or "DOWN" to set the cook temperature
to 275° F (135° C).
4. Press the Timer button ( ) and use the "UP" or "DOWN" buttons to set the time to 2 hours (02:00)
5. Once seasoning is complete, the smoker's interior will have a durable, seasoned coating.
6. Allow the ashes to completely cool before cleaning out the wood chip box.
The smoker becomes HOT during use. Use heat resistant gloves while accessing the
inside of the smoker.
Using the Wood Chip Box:
The wood chip box is designed to provide a sustainable amount of smoke and flavor during the cooking
process. Fill the box at least 1/2 to 3/4 full with desired wood chips or wood pellets. Anything more
or less than this amount may not create the appropriate amount of smoke for adding flavor. Refer
to Page 19 for the types of wood chips that are recommended for various foods. To add more wood
chips or pellets during the cooking process, unlatch the bottom drawer and slowly pull out the drawer
until the wood chip box is accessible. The amount of new wood chips will depend on cooking time
and the amount remaining in the wood chip box. Using heat-resistant gloves, place enough wood
chips to fill the box 3/4 full. Do not remove the burnt chips or ashes until after the cooking process is
complete. Do not over fill the box. Slowly close the drawer and secure with both latches. Do not use
wood chunks or charcoal. NOTE: The use of wood chips or wood pellets is not required during the
cooking process.
NOTE: Always operate the smoker with the wood chip box in place – regardless of whether or not
wood chips are used.
Using the Water Bowl:
The water bowl diffuses direct heat between the food and the burner element. The use of water in the
bowl is not required, but the water bowl MUST be in place during operation. To use the bowl, fill to
at least 3/4 full with warm water, before turning on the smoker. Cold water may prolong the cooking
process. Do not overfill the water bowl. Doing so may cause the water to splash inside the smoker.
To replenish the water level during the cooking process, unlatch the bottom drawer and slowly pull
out the drawer until the water bowl is accessible. Using heat-resistant gloves, fill the water bowl to at
least 3/4 full with warm water. Slowly close the drawer and secure with both latches.
