SMOKER BURNER IGNITION & USAGE
1
USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips . For best results with faster cooking foods like
steaks, burgers and chops, etc ., we recommend using finer wood chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster . For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and
turkeys, etc ., we recommend using larger wood chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time . As you gain experience in using your smoker,
we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks
to find the smoke flavour that best suits your taste .
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 20 minutes before using .
(Wet wood will produce more smoke flavour .) Place a handful of wood chips or a few
larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body (1) . As you gain experience in smoking,
increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste .
Note: Always barbecue with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.
Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for “SMOKER BURNER IGNITION” .
After wood starts to smoulder turn control knob to LOW .
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes . If you
require more smoke flavour, refill the smoker with wood chips and/or chunks . Keep the
lid of the barbecue closed while cooking .
Note: After refilling the smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again.
The smoker may be used to enhance meat, poultry and fish recipes . Cook with the lid
down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes .

DANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid in the smoker to ignite the wood.
This will cause serious bodily injury.
◆
CLEANING THE SMOKER
Each time before using, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air flow .
Note: Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue
cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker. To a lesser degree a
“smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your gas barbecue. This residue need not
be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your gas barbecue.
