Safe Storage and Maintenance
Inspect hardware tightness on a regular basis to ensure the smoker is in a safe working condition.
ALWAYS allow smoker to cool completely before handling.
ALWAYS empty charcoal grills after use only when ashes have completely cooled. This will help prolong charcoal
grill life.
Clean your smoker cooking surfaces with mild cleaning agents.
Wipe the outside of smoker with damp rag. DO NOT use oven cleaner.
ALWAYS cover and store cold smoker in a protected area.
Indoor storage of smoker is permissible only if the charcoal has burned to a complete ash AND is cold. Allow up to
48 hours for this. Remember to remove cold ashes before storing.
This smoker is made of steel and will rust over time. If rusting occurs on outside surfaces, clean it with sand paper
or steel wool, then re-paint outside surfaces with heat resistant paint available from your local Barbeque Galore
Store.
If rusting occurs on the inside surface of the smoker, clean it with sand paper or steel wool, then coat with cooking
oil. NEVER USE PAINT ON THE INSIDE SURFACES OF THE SMOKER. Smoke build up the inside of the unit
will protect the steel and resist rusting.
Grilling Instructions and Tips:
1.
Preheat the smoker for 5-10 minutes.
2.
Before heating, lightly coat the cooking grills with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking.
3.
Your smoker is equipped with an adjustable vent on the offset firebox to vary the rate of burn. Grasp the vent lever
with mitts or metal pliers and rotate the vent to increase opening and raise the temperature. Decrease the vent
opening to lower the temperature.
4.
The smoke stack on this smoker is equipped with a damper cap to vary cooking temperature. Use metal pliers to
grasp the damper door tab and rotate the damper cap to increase the opening and raise the temperature.
Decrease the opening to lower the temperature.
WARING
: To avoid injury, DO NOT touch vents or dampers with bare hands unless the smoker is completely cool. Use
mitts or metal pliers to adjust the damper cap. Use metal pliers to adjust the vent openings.
