ADDING WOOD CHIPS
To add wood chips before smoking, fill the wood chip box with your choice of flavoring
hardwood chips. The amount and type of wood you use is entirely up to you. One full filling of
the wood chip box is typically enough for several hours of smoking. Once the wood chip box is
filled, place the lid on top of the wood chip box and set the box into the correct location of the
smoker. For two drawer smokers, the wood chip box should be placed in the lower drawer that
has a frame specifically designed for the wood chip box.
COOKING TIPS - Flavored woods:
*
To produce more smoke and prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood chips in a separate bowl
of water for at least 30 minutes, or wrap the chips in perforated aluminum foil. [See wood
chip manufacturer’s instructions]
*
Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.
*
Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry or mesquite.
*
Most fruit and nut tree woods produce an excellent smoke flavoring.
*
Do not use resinous woods such as pine. These usually produce unpleasant flavoring.
*
Let your taste be your guide - experiment with different types and quantities of wood chunks,
chips or sticks. You can also mix woods.
*
Most smoker flavoring occurs within the first hour of cooking. Adding wood chips after the
first hour is typcially not necessary unless extra smoke flavoring is desired.
THE WOOD CHIP BOX AND LID WILL GET VERY HOT DURING SMOKING. AVOID HANDLING THEM
WHILE IN USE. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECIVE OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT COMPONENTS.
CHIMNEY AND DAMPER VENT ADJUSTMENTS
Minor temperature maintenance is best controlled by different chimney and side damper
adjustments. The key to effective smoking is to watch your heat indicator (temperature gauge)
on the door and adjust the chimney and side dampers accordingly.
*
For better performance, rotate the smoker to where the front or back of the smoker is facing
the wind. This allows the adjustment of the chimney and side damper vents to be more
effective and accurate.
*
Opening the chimney and side damper vents helps to exhaust heat and reduce smoker temperature.
*
The chimney and side dampers vents
SHOULD NEVER BE FULLY CLOSED
.
*
Closing the chimney and side damper vents helps to hold in heat and increases smoker temperature.
*
Minor temperature maintenance is best controlled by different chimney and side damper
adjustment configurations.
