SMOKING AND SLOW COOKING

Remove the cooking grill from the firebox and build your fire on 
top of the fire grate in the firebox.  Either charcoal or wood may 
be used, but wood is the recommended fuel for it’s rate of burn 
and the flavor it imparts to the food being cooked.  Most 
seasoned hardwoods are good for smoking such as hickory, 
mesquite, pecan, oak, and many other fruit woods.  Bark should 
be avoided or burned off first as it contains a high acid content 
and imparts an acrid flavor.

SMOKING WITH WOOD CHIPS/WOOD CHUNKS

For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes 
or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or several wood chunks 
to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural 
flavors, and can be used alone or in addition to charcoal. As a 
general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for 
cooking. However, different woods have very different tastes. 
Experiment with different woods to determine your personal 
favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-cut 
wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.

Our Recommendations:

Chicken

 - Alder, Apple, Hickory, Mesquite

Beef

 - Hickory, Mesquite, Oak

Pork

 - Fruitwoods, Hickory, Oak

Lamb

 - Fruitwoods, Mesquite

Veal

 - Fruitwoods, Grapevines

Seafood

 - Alder, Mesquite

Vegetables

 – Mesquite

After allowing the fire to burn down, close the doors and control 
the temperature and smoke with the dampers located on the 
firebox and atop the smokestack.  Smoke is contained within the 
chambers, which will reduce burn while imparting more smoke 
flavor.  Do not operate the  Smoker with temperatures exceeding 
450 degrees in the smoker chamber. Place the food in the 
smoker chamber and monitor the temperature.  Cooking and 
smoking are taking place using indirect heat.  There is no need 
to worry about a grease fire flare-up ruining the food.  A general 
rule of thumb for cooking is about 1 hour per pound for smoking 
large cuts of meat.  Refer to a cook book for specific cuts of 
meat.  Limit the number of times you open the smoker chamber 
door as this will allow heat to escape and extend the cooking 
time. 

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor 
cooking experience.  To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, 
follow these four basic steps:

Clean:  Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water 
before and after handling raw meat.
Separate:  Separate raw meats from ready-to-eat foods to avoid 
cross contamination.  Use a clean platter and utensils when 
removing cooked foods.
Cook:  Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria.  Use a 
thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.
Chill:  Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly.

Cooking on your new grill is a hands-on experience, and it is 
recommended to remain outside with your grill while cooking.  
Grilling can be affected by many external conditions.  In cold 
weather, you will need more heat to reach an ideal cooking 
temperature, and grilling may take longer.  The meat's internal 
temperature and thickness can also affect cooking times.  Cold 
and thicker meats will take longer to cook. 

Internal Meat Temperatures

Meat cooked on a grill often browns very fast on the outside.  
Therefore, use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached 
safe internal temperatures.

Please refer to the USDA for complete, up-to-date information.  
Our internal temperature chart is based on USDA standards for 
meat doneness.  Check it out at www.isitdoneyet.gov

GRILLING

Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule 
for knowing when your coals are ready for grilling is to make sure that 
80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. Using caution, arrange 
the hot coals on your charcoal grate based on your desired method of 
cooking.  Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature 
of your fire:

Ÿ

 If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire 

less intense.

Ÿ

 Avoid laying the coals on the walls of the smoker.

Ÿ

 Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of 

oxygen that feeds the fire.

Ÿ

 In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a 

squirt bottle. Be careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes 
around and make a mess. 

Ÿ

 Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 

minutes for coals to ash over before adding more.
