THE SMOKE-IT-TRAY
®
The Smoke-It-Tray
®
uses presoaked wood chips. For best results with faster cooking
foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using finer 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 chips because they ignite
slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using
your Smoke-It-Tray
®
, we encourage you to experiment with different types of wood
chips and chunks to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste.
TO USE THE SMOKE-IT-TRAY
®
As a starting point, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. (Wet
wood will produce more smoke flavor.) Place a handful of wood chips in the bottom
of the Smoke-It-Tray
®
. 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.
ƽ WARNING
Make sure the grill is off and cool before handling cooking
grate and/or Smoke-It-Tray
®
.
Heating the Smoke-It-Tray

There are two methods for using your Smoke-It-Tray

:
1) Place Smoke-It-Tray

above the Rotis-A-Grate

2) For a more smoky flavor, remove one of the cooking grates and position the
Smoke-It-Tray
®
to the left or right side of cookbox. Light the burner closest to the
Smoke-It-Tray
®

Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you
require more smoke flavor, refill the Smoke-It-Tray
®
with wood chips. Keep the lid of the
grill closed while cooking.
Note: After refilling Smoke-It-Tray
