Smoking and Drying
There are the three square adjustable
stainless smoke dampers located at the center
of the cooker door. They are used to vent
smoke or heat and serve to enable visual
monitoring of the product being cooked, as
well as the amount of smoke being generated
when the Turbo Draft Fan is running.
When using the Tallboy for drying:
• All three dampers should be opened
wide to allow moisture to escape from
the cooking chamber.
• The lid of the cooker can also be cracked
open to allow moisture vapor to escape
from the cooking chamber.
• The firebox drawer should be cracked
open so that fresh air can enter the
Tallboy, be heated and then carry away
more moisture. (tuning plate lids closed)
Air can hold only so much moisture. Fresh
air, passing through the cooker, is necessary
if drying is to take place.
When the cooker is
closed up tight, and
combustion air is
supplied by the Turbo
Draft Fan, both heat
and moisture are
retained in the cooking
chamber. This is good
for low and slow
cooking, but not for
drying. Always open
the dampers and crack
the covers when
drying.
