Preparing The Oven For Cooking
1. Check that Wood Box Housing is placed over Heating Elements and pushed all the way to the back of the
oven. Place properly loaded Wood Boxes in oven as shown. Do not remove the Wood Boxes from the oven
during cooking cycle.
2. Line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil and
punch a hole in the foil corresponding to the drain hole.
Cover the Deflector with foil for easy cleaning. Discard
the foil after each cooking and replace with fresh foil.
3. Place drain pan beneath the drain holes located in oven
bottom and in the trough at bottom front of the smoker.
This drip pan should be emptied after each cooking.
4. Notice that the grills in your smoker can be rearranged
to accommodate different sizes of meat.
5. When smoking thick items, such as turkeys or large
hams, remove alternate grills.
6. When hang-smoking ribs, remove all except the top and
bottom grills, and raise side racks to highest position.
CAUTION - Operation of a dirty oven may create a fire hazard. Do not allow debris to accumulate in oven interior
or on oven grills. Such debris may create a fire hazard! Follow all shutdown and cleaning instructions carefully
IMPORTANT: Do not operate oven without Wood Box Housing and Wood Boxes in proper position.
