Real wood chips will smoke for 45 minutes in the smoke
box. Wood pellets will smoke almost twice as long. When
refilling the smoke box, leave a few burning embers to help
start the new chips or pellets smoking. If you have no
embers left or want to start with a full box of fresh chips or
pellets, simply fill no higher than the top of the smoker box
and preheat on HIGH for approximately 15 minutes or until
they begin to smoke. Don’t forget to turn the Power Level
back to the original setting. The 15 minutes of cook time
on HIGH will not affect your overall cooking results.
It is normal for some smoke to leak out around the edges
of the smoker box on LOW. If burner is left on HIGH
setting, wood chips will burn too fast and an excessive
amount of smoke will escape around the edges of the
smoker box.
