TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE TO EAT, FOOD MUST BE COOKED TO THE MINIMUM INTERNAL
TEMPERATURES LISTED IN THE TABLE BELOW.
• This is a slow smoker…allow sufficient time for cooking. Smoker is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• "Preseason" smoker prior to first use. See page 8.
• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.
• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
• Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking
time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure
proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even
cooking. Please see manual for more detail.
• Close air damper on top of unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as fish or jerky,
open air damper to release moisture.
• Temperature reading on control panel will fluctuate + or - 10 to 15 degrees as smoker cycles on
and off.
• Store smoker in a dry area after use.
• Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.
• CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and
mildew.
