THINGS TO KNOW:
1. The smoker has a temperature range from 225 ° F to 400 ° F
2. The smoker cannot get cooler during a cook. If you set the temperature to 300 ° F and allow it to preheat,
you cannot lower the temperature to 225 ° F during the cook.
3. If you have the charcoal partition inserted into the charcoal basket, the unit will not reach a temperature
above 275
° F.
4. For faster preheat time, allow the unit to preheat without the heat deflector tent installed. Once the
smoker reaches the set temperature, insert the heat deflector tent in the proper location
.
