Cooking with your Smoker 

There are two methods of cooking with your new smoker: 

• By Time -

 Cook your meat for a designated amount of time 

 

(see “cooking with the timer”) 

• By Meat Temperature -

 Cook your meat until its internal temperature 

hits a designated temperature.  (see “cooking with meat probe”)

Here, we will explain how to use these functions as well as explain a 

few basics of setting up your cook.

Preheating

Preheating warms up the chamber and gets your wood chips 

smoking so that your meat starts getting that delicious smoke 

flavor the second you put it in the smoker.  

NOTE: 

Always preheat smoker with smoker box in place, including 

wood chips if being used.

Setting the Preheat Cycle

•  Press the Temp Button.

•  Press and hold the “UP” or “DOWN“ button to raise or lower 

until the letters “PH” is displayed. Release the button. “PH” is 

blinking.

•  Press the Temp Button again. The display will no longer blink 

indicating that the “PH” is set.

•  The display will show “PH”, no temperature will be shown 

during the Preheat cycle.

•  The appliance will automatically start the Preheating process.

•  The Preheat cycle will run for 40 minutes.

•  After the 40 minute preheat cycle ends:

1.  The appliance will automatically reduce the interior  

 

 temperature.

2.  The display will blink “00:00” (no temp will be displayed).

3.  An audible beep will sound - 3 beeps initially and then 3   

 

beeps once every 30 seconds thereafter.

•  You can then use the Temp Button, Meat Probe Button or Time 

Button to start using the smoker.

NOTE: 

The appliance will automatically turn off if 60 minutes has 

passed after the initial 40 minute Preheat cycle has been completed 

(40 minute P 1 hour = 100 total minutes) and a cook has not 

been started.

IMPORTANT:

 

Always cook with both the water pan and smoker box in place, 

whether or not they are filled.

Setting the Cooking Temperature

No matter how you want to cook you’re going to need to know how 

to set your cooking temperature.
