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 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 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 find the smoke flavor 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 flavor.) 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 flavor, refill
the smoker with wood chips and /or chunks. Keep the lid of
the grill closed while cooking.

Note - After refilling 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 fish recipes in the gas grill cookbook. Cook
with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts
or recipes.
ƽ DANGER
Do not use any flammable fluid 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 flow.
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.
