HOW TO START YOUR ELECTRIC SMOKER
WARNING: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120-volts that is GFCI protected at 20 amps. If you are not sure
the outlet is suitable, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate this smoker on the same circuit with any other
appliance or electrical device.
1.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of your food. The thermometer on the door will provide the
approximate cooking temperature inside the smoker but you should always use a meat thermometer to ensure that your
food is fully cooked.
2. After you are finished smoking, turn the controller knob to the off position and always unplug the smoker from the
electric outlet and allow the smoker to cool. Once the smoker has cooled, follow the instructions in the "Safety, Care and
Maintenance" section of this manual.
Note: Performance of the smoker is dependent on ambient temperature, wind conditions and the amount of food.
TIP: For additional flavor, consider adding fresh herbs; such as rosemary, thyme or bay leaves, or fruit; such as cut up lime or
lemon, or even your favorite beverage to the water pan.
You can set your Rear Air Damper to any opening to achieve the optimal smoke and temperature. These are recommended
settings to help your chips to last longer and have optimal smoke generated. ( Your settings may vary depending on the size of
the wood chips used and the density of the wood chips in the wood chip box. )
HOW TO TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRIC SMOKER

2. Allow unit to burn out any wood chips that may be burning.
