WARNING

After a charcoal fire appears extinguished, unconsumed embers can retain heat for up to 24 hours, and if exposed to fresh air, can burst into flame unexpectedly. Any such embers outside the firebox of the grill pose a fire hazard and can ignite combustible surfaces such as wooden decks.

3ft. 3ft.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR SMOKER

Before cooking with your smoker, the following steps should be closely followed to cure the finish and burn off the oils used in manufacturing. Failure to follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic flavors to your first foods.

1. Build a small fire on the charcoal grate using no more than 2 lbs. of charcoal briquets.
2. Place Smoke Chamber and Lid assemblies on the Bottom Chamber.
3. Close the door and position the inlet damper to setting 2 or 3. This burn should be sustained for at least 2 hours. Then adjust the lower damper setting to 5.

SMOKER MAINTENANCE

Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the smoker is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels.

When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect and hold moisture, which can lead to premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable oil will aid in the protection of your unit. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.

Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to smoking or grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while the unit is hot.

COOKING TIPS

Building Your Fire

1. Stack charcoal briquets or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate. We recommend no more than 2 lbs. (approximately 30 briquets) to start your fire, adding more as needed.
2. We do not recommend using charcoal lighter fluid. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Always light the fire with the smoke chamber and lid removed. Leave open until the briquets are fully lit. If using lighter fluid, failure to do this could trap fumes in the smoker and may result in a flash fire when the lid or door is opened.
4. Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing injury.
5. You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquets ashes over and produces a red glow (approximately 12-15 minutes).
6. Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquets in a pile or spread them evenly across the charcoal grate using long-handled poker.
7. Always use the smoker with the charcoal grate ring installed to avoid hot coals laying against the smoker walls.

SMOKING AND SLOW COOKING

Remove the smoke chamber and lid from the firebowl and build your fire on top of the fire grate. Either charcoal or wood may be used, but wood is the recommended fuel for it's rate of burn and the flavor it imparts to the food being cooked. Most seasoned hardwoods are good for smoking such as hickory, mesquite, pecan, oak, and many other fruit woods. Bark should be avoided or burned off first as it contains a high acid content and imparts an acrid flavor.

After allowing the fire to burn down, replace the smoke chamber and lid and control the temperature and smoke with the dampers located on the lid and firebowl. Smoke is contained within the chambers, which will reduce burn while imparting more smoke flavor. Do not operate the Smoker with temperatures exceeding 350 degrees in the smoker chamber. Place the food in the smoker chamber and monitor the temperature. A general rule of thumb for cooking is about 1 hour per pound for smoking large cuts of meat. Refer to a cook book for specific cuts of meat. Limit the number of times you open the smoker chamber door as this will allow heat to escape and extend the cooking time.

SMOKING WITH WOOD CHIPS/WOOD CHUNKS

For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors, and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have very different tastes. Experiment with different woods to determine your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-cut wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.

Our Recommendations:

Chicken - Alder, Apple, Hickory, Mesquite

Beef - Hickory, Mesquite, Oak

Pork - Fruitwoods, Hickory, Oak

Lamb - Fruitwoods, Mesquite

Veal - Fruitwoods, Grapevines

Seafood - Alder, Mesquite

Vegetables – Mesquite

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat.

Separate: Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking. Grilling can be affected by many external conditions. In cold weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking temperature, and grilling may take longer. The meat's internal temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times. Cold and thicker meats will take longer to cook.

Internal Meat Temperatures

Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside. Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached safe internal temperatures.

USDA Recommended Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures
Beef, Veal, Lamb, Steak, Roasts, & Whole Pork (with a 3 minute rest time)	145°F
Fish 145°F
Beef, Veal, Lamb, and Pork – Ground 160°F
Egg Dishes 160°F
Turkey, Chicken & Duck Whole, Pieces & Ground 165°F

Please refer to the USDA for complete, up-to-date information. Our internal temperature chart is based on USDA standards for meat doneness. Check it out at www.isitdoneyet.gov
