Frequently Asked Questions - Flintstone Steel Klarstein

How do I use the Flintstone Steel electric smoker?

Place the food on the racks with space between them. Install the drip tray and the wood chip bowl filled with wood chips. Close the door, adjust the vent, plug in and turn on the appliance. The smoker will start smoking within 10 to 20 minutes. Turn off and let cool after use.

What types of wood chips should I use?

Use aromatic white wood chips like mesquite, apple, blueberry, pecan, or hickory. Fine chips work better than large pieces. Only use a handful to avoid an overly strong taste.

Should I add water to the drip tray?

No, this smoker is not a water smoker. The drip tray is used to collect fat and broth. If you want to steam, you can add a little water, but it is not necessary.

How do I clean the smoker?

Disassemble all removable parts (racks, wood chip bowl, drip tray, hooks). Wash them with mild soapy water or bicarbonate of soda with a sponge. The electric housing can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the housing.

What are the important safety precautions?

Never use the appliance indoors due to the risk of carbon monoxide. Use it only outdoors, in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials. Do not touch hot surfaces. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby.

Why is my smoker taking a long time to heat up?

Smoking times can vary depending on outside temperature, wind, and food quantity. In cold or windy weather, smoking will take longer. Preheat for 20 to 30 minutes before adding food.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, if it has a ground plug and sufficient power (at least equal to the appliance). For outdoor use, the extension cord must bear the marking 'W' or 'suitable for use with outdoor equipment'.

What should I do if the power cord is damaged?

The cord must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service department, or a qualified person to avoid danger. Do not use the appliance with a damaged cord.

How do I know if the smoker is on?

The on/off switch lights up green when the appliance is operating, indicating it is heating.

Can I smoke large quantities of food at once?

It is not recommended to overload the appliance. Leave space between food items on the racks to ensure good heat circulation and even smoking. Large quantities may increase smoking time.

OPERATION

WARNING

Carbon monoxide hazard! Burning wood gives off carbon monoxide gas, which can cause sickness & death do not this unit inside homes, vehicles, garages, or any enclosed areas. Use only in outdoor areas that are well ventilated.

How to Use the Electric Smoker

1 Place the food material on the racks ensuring there is space between the pieces for good heat circulation.
2 Place the drip tray on the bottom rack.
3 Place wood chips in the Chip Bowl and place the chip bowl in the tripod bracket.
4 Close the front door, ensuring that the magnetic catches are holding the door closed.

5 Adjust the exhaust vent to the desired position.
6 Plug in the power cord and turn the on/off switch to the "on" position. The switch will turn green showing that the smoker is now heating.
7 Depending on the amount and type of wood chips used, the smoker will start smoking within from 10 - 20 minutes.
8 When you are finished smoking, turn the unit off and allow it to cool down before storing it in a covered area.

Smoking Time

The smoking time is difficult to specify by the manufacturer. The unit is designed for outdoor use and outside temperature and wind conditions can greatly affect the time required to smoke a product. Low temperature and strong wind will increase the time required.

Also, the house current, whether or not an extension cord is being used, and the amount of product being smoked will have an effect on the length of time required to smoke the products.

HELPFUL HINTS

Drip tray

This electric smoker is not a water smoker - you do not need to add water unless you want to steam your food. The drip tray catches the grease and drippings from the food you are smoking.

Chip bowl

This unit uses an 1600W heater for quicker heat-up and more consistent smoking. The chip bowl should always be placed in the tripod bracket, not directly on the heating element, to ensure the unit is operating as designed.

Wood chips

The smoke from the wood chips adds flavor to the food. Any kind of aromatic hardwood, such as mesquite, apple, cheery, pecan, or hickory can be used. Wood chips work much better than the larger chunks. Use only a handful of chips – too much smoke leaves a strong aftertaste.

Grease Absorbent

The drip tray will NOT catch all the grease and food drippings – that not caught by the drip tray will be collected on the bottom plate. For ease of clean-up, a thin layer of grease absorbent should be placed in the bottom of the smoker. Use granular oil absorbent material (like that used to soak up oil on a garage floor). Do NOT use a scented kitty litter or any other chemically treated material. The grease absorbent material should be replaced after using the smoker 5 or 6 times.

CARE AND CLEANING

Always disconnect the unit before cleaning.
- Clean the unit using a small amount of water and mild soap or baking soda with a sponge or scrub brush.
- The electrical box and on/off switch are watertight, so a small amount of water sprayed or wiped on these surfaces will not be detrimental to the unit.
- The racks, chip bowl, drip tray, and hanging hooks can be removed and washed in a sink.
