Using Your Kamado BBQ as a Smoker
1. Use the instructions listed on page 6 to light the Kamado BBQ.
2. Monitor the unit until it has risen to the desired temperature.
3. Leave the bottom vent open slightly, but close the top vent while continuously
monitoring the temperature.
4. Use heat-resistant hand protection to place wood chips in a circle on top of the
hot charcoal (You can prolong the smoking process by soaking the chips or cooking
planks in water for 15 minutes first.)
5. The Kamado BBQ is now ready for smoking.
6. When opening the lid, be sure to lift it only slightly, allowing the air to enter the
unit slowly and safely. This will prevent flare-ups and any backdrafts.
