Operating Instructions  

Warning

: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120 volts which is GFCI protected at 15 or 20 

amps. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate any other appliances or electrical 
devices on the same circuit as the smoker. 

 

This smoker is intended for outdoor use only. Use only on a hard, level, non-combustible surface away 

from roof overhangs and/or any combustible material. DO NOT user this smoker on wooden surfaces or 
any other surface that could burn. Place the smoker in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind 
and keep the smoker away from open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your home. 

 

Curing Your Smoker

 

This process will allow the heat to burn off any dust or residue left during the manufacturing process. 

 

Before first use, cure your smoker to minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as rid your smoker of 

any paint odor that could transmit unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared. 

 

Note: We recommend lining the wood chip pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Do not use wood 

chips during the first four hours of curing your smoker. 

 

1.

 

Coat all interior surfaces of the smoker cabinet, side rack, and cooking grates with vegetable

 

oil or vegetable oil spray.

 

2.

 

Plug the smoker into an electrical outlet.

 

3.

 

Turn the smoker on medium for 4 hours.

 

4.

 

In the last 45 minutes add approximately 6 ounces of wood in the smoker box.

 

Place a

 

container of water on the grates to ensure even heating.

 

5.

 

Let the smoker cool.

 

 

Operating Instructions  

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

 

1.

 

Open the door and remove the wire rack that supports the smoker box.
