SETTING UP
Check the contents of your Smokette. You should have 2 side racks, 3
grills, and 1 wood box. If you do not have these, call Cookshack Customer
Service at 1.800.423.0698.
Remove the strap that holds the wood box to the heating element
bracket during shipping. Cut it with a knife or scissors. This will free
the wood box for loading the wood.
Choose a Location
Choose a dry, sheltered and well-ventilated location. Do not expose the
Smokette to rain. You can purchase a cover for your Smokette by calling
Cookshack at 1.800.423.0698. Do not place flammable or combustible
materials on or adjacent to the Smokette.
Moving the Smokette with Its Built in Casters
When moving the Smokette short distances on a solid surface you may tip it
backward using the handle on the back. This transfers the weight of the unit
onto the casters, enabling you to move it to the desired location. Use care
not to tip it past the balance point, which could cause it to fall backwards.
Ventilation
A small amount of smoke will escape from the vent hole in the top of the
Smokette and from around the door. For this reason, operation indoors is
not recommended unless adequate ventilation is provided, such as a
professional quality restaurant hood. If you store the Smokette in a garage
or storage building, it is a good idea to move it outside when smoking.
Do not cover the vent hole. This will cause thermostat failure and void
your warranty.
Electrical Power Connections
Your Cookshack Smokette has a single burner system which uses 120V AC
power. Connect the Smokette to the power supply by plugging the power
cord into a standard, 3-prong, 120V receptacle that is protected by a breaker
or fuse rated at 15 amperes.
A long or light-duty extension cord will reduce the efficiency of the heating
element. Food will take longer to cook.
“I use one of those orange heavy-duty extension cords. It is 6’ long and
seems to work just fine.” Donna Johnson, Cookshack Marketing Director
