OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Guidelines
• Refer to the “Troubleshooting Section” on Pages 22 and 23 for operational problems.

DO NOT
open the smoker door while operating, unless it is necessary. Opening the door will allow
heat to escape and prolong the cooking time.

result if charcoal is used during operation. The fire will create an unsafe condition and damage the
smoker.
• Although wood chips are not required for operating the smoker, they should be used during the
cooking process to create the smoke needed for adding flavor.
• In order to maintain optimal performance, cleaning the smoker after each use is highly
recommended. Wait until the smoker has completely cooled before cleaning. Refer to the
Care and Maintenance section on Page 21.
