Operating Instructions - Louisiana Grills LGCAB 61299 Mode D'emploi

The temperature of your Smoke Cabinet is determined by four (4) important components: grill temperature, chimney damper
positioning, cabinet damper positioning, and the outdoor ambient temperature. As you become more familiar with these variables
and how they operate together, your operating knowledge of the unit will become easier.
• GRILL TEMPERATURE
The grill is the source of heat to the Smoke Cabinet. The hotter the grill, the hotter the available air to the Smoke Cabinet. If
smoking low and slow , more smoke is available for hot smoking or cold smoking in the Smoke Cabinet.
CHIMNEY DAMPER
•
The chimney damper is the main control of airflow going in the Smoke Cabinet. The lower the main grill temperature, the
more the damper can be opened, thus allowing for more clean smoke to enter the cabinet. When not in use, the chimney
damper should be closed. If left open, it will affect the heat retention and convection cooking features of the grill.
• CABINET DAMPER
The cabinet damper is the control of airflow going out of the Smoke Cabinet. Mostly, this damper will remain closed,
keeping the smoke and heat inside the Smoke Cabinet. If opened, it will allow the smoke and heat to exit the cabinet
chamber. It can be used if only a mild smoke flavoring is desired. When not in use, the cabinet damper should be closed.
• OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The outside air temperature has a significant affect on the temperature of your Smoke Cabinet, as weather conditions can
alter the temperature range achieved. To obtain the best results, cold smoking should be done only during the cooler months
or low-sun times of the day, such as early morning, early evening, or during the night. The cooler the temperature is outside,
the longer you can operate your grill at the low temperatures, and the more you can leave the chimney damper open,
resulting in more smoke flavor penetrating your culinary delights.
