Instructions / Assembly

PRE-USE PROCEDURES:

Before you cook food in our smoker, it is important to “season” your smoker. Seasoning seals the paint and

interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability and overall peformance. This is also referred to as the

“break-in” process.

If your smoker requires any touch-up paint on the inside of the cabinet, the only time you should apply paint to

the inside is before the seasoning process. Paint should be applied to the interior of your smoker after your

smoker has been used. See these section in this instruction manual concerning AFTER USE CARE AND

MAINTENANCE.

To season your smoker, simply use it as you normally would, only DO NOT cook any food. You will need to follow

all of the operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.

Using our desired flavoring woods and marinades, and placing water in the water pan, burn your smoker at the

lowest temperature by setting your control knob to LOW, and allow 45-60 minutes for this burn. Turn the

Smoker to the OFF position and disconnect the LP Cylinder. Allow the smoker to completely cool and then clean

out the used water and wood.

Once the seasoning is complete, your smoker’s interior will have a durable, seasoning coating.

ADDING WATER:

To add water before cooking:

For one door smokers, simply remove water pan and fill it with water up to 1” (25mm) below the rim. Then

carefully place the water pan in the correct shelf position in the cabinet. To add water while the smoker is hot,

DO NOT PULL THE WATER PAN OUT! To safely add water to the water pan, use a clean watering can with a long

spout (or similar device).

For Two Drawer smokers, open water pan drawer and fill with water up to 1” (25mm) below the rim. Slowly and

steadily, push water pan drawer closed until it comes to a complete stop. To add water while the smoker is hot,

SLOWLY open the water pan drawer to prevent any splashing of remaining water. Replenish the water as need

and then again SLOWLY and CAREFULLY push the water pan drawer closed until it comes to a complete stop.
