CAUTION! : The wood chip box and lid get very hot. Avoid handling them while in use. Always wear
protective oven mitts when handling hot components.
Adding Wood
To add wood chips before cooking, simply fill the wood
chip box with your choice of flavoring hardwood chips.
The amount and type of wood you use is entirely up to
you. One full box is typically enough for several hours of
smoking. Once the box is filled, place the lid on top of the
box and set the box in the smoker.
To add wood chips while cooking, we recommend using
tongs or long handled pliers to remove the box lid and to
place the pieces into the wood chip box without removing
the box. It is not recommended to remove the wood chip
box while the smoker is in operation.

Cooking Tip - Flavoring Wood:
Small wood chips work best inside the wood chip box.
Use dry hardwoods such as hickory, pecan, apple, cherry, or mesquite.
Most fruit or nut tree woods produce excellent smoke flavoring.
Do not use resinous woods such as pine or plywood. These usually
produce unpleasant flavoring.
Let your taste be your guide experiment with different types and
quantities of wood chunks, chips, or sticks. You can even mix woods.
To produce more smoke and to prevent fast burning, pre-soak the wood
chips in a separate bowl of water for at least 20 minutes, or wrap the
chips in perforated aluminum foil.
Most smoke flavoring occurs within the first hour of cooking. Adding
wood chips after the first hour is typically not necessary unless extra
smoke flavoring is desired.
