Clean and Season the Smoker Before First Use
To remove contaminants that may alter the flavor of your food, we recommend a thorough cleaning, followed
by a short burn (without food) to season your smoker.
Use a solution of dish soap and water to wash the pit shelves, heat diffuser and grease pan. Rinse thoroughly
and reinstall in the smoker.
Set the pit computer to 275°F.
Use the recommended lighting method (lighting method one) to start the smoker with approximately 2.5
pounds of charcoal in the smoker.
Run the smoker until all of the charcoal is consumed and the fire is out. Do not use any wood when seasoning
the smoker.
Once this process is complete, the smoker is ready to be used for cooking food.
