SMOKING
Congratulations on your purchase of your King Kooker Outdoor Propane Smoker. You will be
delighted with the variety of dishes you can prepare with your smoker. Use your imagination and
you can be a gourmet chef, surprising your friends and family with the wonderful meals you will
prepare. We have provided a few recipes below to get you started. Reference the “King Kooker
Smoking Chart” on page 16 for estimated cooking times and temperatures. We suggest using a
King Kooker Meat Thermometer or any other high quality meat thermometer to accurately test for
doneness. There are a wide variety of seasonings/marinades available to experiment with and
enjoy. Cook with your smoker and EAT LIKE A KING!
REMEMBER: When checking or removing food, the smoker, food and racks will be extremely HOT.
Always wear protective oven mitts when handling and use caution.
Using Wood Chips To Add Flavor
Wood chips of various flavors can be added to the wood chip pan when smoking. Some choices
are hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, and mesquite. Soak the wood chips for at least one hour to
prevent a bitter taste. Wait to add the wood chips until only one hour of smoking time is left. This
gives a pleasant flavor to the smoked food without overpowering it with the smoked flavor.
Using Marinades/Dry Seasonings to Add Flavor
King Kooker marinades and dry seasonings add succulent flavor to all types of cooking. For
maximum flavor and taste, generously rub on dry seasonings and inject marinade the night before
cooking or at least one hour before. Always cover food and refrigerate once seasoning/marinade is
added. Marinade can also be added to the water pan as desired. Garlic Butter and Hot & Spicy
King Kooker marinades do an excellent job. King Kooker Cajun and Sweet & Spicy Dry Rub
seasonings are great examples of dry seasonings you can use.
