Smoker Oven Maximum Load Capacity
IMPORTANT: Do not overload your smoker. Use the Smoker Oven Maximum Load Capacity chart below to
determine the maximum capacity of your smoker.
Capacities are based on 3 lb. ribs, 8—10 lbs. heavy cuts, and 3 lb. chickens. Capacities are specifically limited by the
amount of heat available.
Loading the Oven With Meat
1. Keep meat approximately 1" away from the back and side oven walls at all times.
2. Arrange meat with fewer cuts on lower grills. Heavy loading of bottom grills will block heat and prevent smoke
from traveling to the top of the oven. This will result in undercooked meat on upper grills. (Allowances are made
for loading arrangements when oven capacities are calculated.)
3. Load only half full the first time you cook, and gradually increase to a full load with successive batches. Monitor
closely to determine what cooking time and load amount produce the results you desire.
4. When possible, cooking schedules should be arranged so that the same amount of an item is cooked each time.
This allows full use of the automatic operation of the oven; it will save time; a better and more consistent product
will be obtained.
5. When the oven is loaded according to above instructions, close and latch the oven door. Fasten the door latches
securely. (NOTE: The door will be hard to close. This is normal.)
