OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE SMOKER
The smoker uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking
foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using fi ner wood
chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods
such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using larger wood
chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period
of time. As you gain experience in using your smoker, we encourage you to
experiment with different combinations of wood chips and chunks to fi nd the
smoke fl avor that best suits your taste.
To use the smoker
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before
using. (Wet wood will produce more smoke fl avor.) Place a handful of wood
chips or a few larger chunks in the bottom of the smoker body(1). As you gain
experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your
taste.
Note - Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the
food.
Light the smoker burner by following the instructions for Lighting The Smoker
Burner After wood starts to smolder turn control knob to low.
Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes.
If you require more smoke fl avor, refi ll the smoker with wood chips and /or
chunks. Keep the lid of the grill closed while cooking.
Note - After refi lling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start
again.
The smoker may be used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and fi sh recipes
in the gas grill cookbook. Cook with the lid down according to the times
indicated in charts or recipes.

ƽDANGER
Do not use any fl ammable fl uid in the smoker to ignite
the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury.
Cleaning the smoker
Before each use, empty the smoker of ash to allow proper air fl ow.
Note - Smoking will leave a “smoke” residue on the surface of the smoker.
This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the smoker.
To a lesser degree a “smoke” residue will accumulate on the inside of your
gas grill. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the
function of your gas grill.
