Pre-Use Procedures
Adding Water
Your smoker has been packaged with a retail store level point-of-purchase label that hangs on the front
of the door panel. This label must be removed before use. To remove the label, simply cut or tear
along the indicated line and pull the top portion of the label from behind the name plate.
Before you cook food in your smoker, it is important to “season” your smoker. Seasoning seals the
interior of your smoker to enhance flavoring, durability, and overall performance. This is also referred
to as the “break-in” process.
To season your smoker, simply use it as you normally would; only do not cook any food. You will need
to follow all of the operating procedures in the next few sections of this manual.
Using your desired flavoring woods and marinades, burn your smoker at low temperature (around
125°F) for 45-60 minutes. Let the smoker cool, and clean out the used water and wood.
Once seasoning is complete, your smoker's interior will have a durable, seasoned coating.
To add water before cooking, simply remove the water bowl and fill it with water up to 1” below the
rim. Then replace the bowl to the bottom of the rack.
To add water while the smoker is hot, DO NOT pull the water bowl out beyond the rack.

Cooking Tip:
Line the water bowl with aluminum foil before each use. This will
make it easy to clean and help your water bowl last longer.
To make adding water easier and safer, use a clean watering can
with a long spout.
