2.  Keep meat approximately 1’’ from all oven walls at all times. 
3.  Load less meat on the bottom grill to ensure air flow to the top of the 
cabinet.  
4.  Close door and latch securely and ensure all latches are closed. 
  Do not overload your smoker. We recommend that on your first 
smoke you only fill your smoker half full and monitor periodically 
until you have a better idea of how long it will take to cook the 
meat properly.
