Check the water level in water pan if the complete cooking process takes
longer than 2 hours. A low water level can be detected by listening for the
sound of water sizzling. Water can be added to the water pan through the
smoker box door. Use caution and follow instructions carefully.
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.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open smoker box door 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. Inspect the water level in pan.
WARNING: To avoid overturning/spilling pan of hot liquid, never pull water
pan bracket out more than 4". (See illustration)
Step 2
If water level is low, extra water or marinade will need to be added to water
pan. Wearing oven mitts/gloves, slide out water pan bracket no more than
4".

filling.

allow food to continue cooking.
Additional charcoal and/or wood may be required to maintain or increase
cooking temperature.
