Operating Instructions
ADDING WOOD CHIPS
• Wood chips must be used in order to produce smoke and create the smoke flavor.
• Before starting smoker, place ½ cup of wood chips in wood chip tray. Never use more than ½ cup of wood
chips at a time. Never use wood chunks or wood pellets.
• If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature to 275°. After 8 to 10 minutes, or when wood
chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting.
• You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense
smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense
smoke.
• Check wood chip tray periodically to see if wood has burned down. Add more chips as needed.
To add wood chips:
1. Open smoker door and insert wood chip tray handle into holes in wood chip tray. See illustrations below.
2. Slide wood chip tray out of smoker and add wood chips.
3. Slide wood chip tray into smoker and remove handle from tray.
4. Close smoker door. Do not close smoker door with handle attached to tray.
• Additional chips should not be added until any previously added chips have ceased generating smoke.
• Temperature may spike briefly after wood chips are added. It will stabilize after a short time. Do not adjust
temperature setting.
• Do not leave old ashes in the wood chip tray. Once ashes are cold, empty tray. Tray should be cleaned out prior
to and after each use to prevent ash buildup.
A flare up may occur when door is opened. If wood chips flare up, immediately close door and vent,
wait for wood chips to burn down, then open door again. Do not spray with water.
Wood chip tray is HOT when smoker is in use and may cause burns. Use gloves when adding wood chips
