FAST SMOKE OPERATION
If you feel your wood chips are not producing enough smoke after the initial 15 minutes or you are adding fresh wood
chips, you can press the “Fast Smoke” button and the smoke element will run for an additional 15 minutes to help get
the wood chips smoking. On the LED screen, you will see the time counting down from 15 minutes to 0 minutes.
Note:
You can stop the “Fast Smoke” program at anytime by pressing the “Fast Smoke” button while the program is running.
When the program time runs out, the LED will read “DONE”. The smoker will still be running and the LED screen will
display the remaining program time and temperature.
AIR INTAKE SETTINGS
You can set your Air Intake to any
opening to achieve the optimal
smoke you desire. These are
recommended settings to help
your chips to last longer and have
optimal smoke generated. (Your
settings may vary depending on
the size of the wood chips used
and the density of the wood chips
in the wood chip box.)
NOTE: If your wood chips are producing more smoke than you want, you can slow the smoke being produced by
decreasing the lower air intake vent opening to restrict the incoming air.
• Open vent fully during first 15 minutes
• Set to desired position after 15 minutes
Bottom Air Vent
• Open vent fully during first 15 minutes
• Close vent half way after 15 minutes
