After a charcoal fire appears extinguished, unconsumed
embers can retain heat for up to 24 hours, and if exposed to
fresh air, can burst into ame unexpectedly. Any such embers

PREPARING TO USE YOUR SMOKER
Before cooking with your smoker, the following steps should be
closely followed to cure the finish and burn off the oils used in
manufacturing. Failure to follow these steps may damage the
nish and/or impart metallic avors to your rst foods.
1. Build a small fire on the charcoal grate using no more than
1.5lbs. of charcoal briquets.
2. Place Smoke Chamber and Lid assemblies on the Bottom
Chamber.
3. Close the door and position the inlet damper to setting 2 or
3. This burn should be sustained for at least 2 hours. Then
adjust the lower damper setting to 5.
SMOKER MAINTENANCE
Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the smoker
is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished before
cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow
to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of the unit with
a cloth or paper towels. When nished cooking, and the unit has
adequately cooled, clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect
and hold moisture, which can lead to premature rusting and
decay. Periodically coating the interior surfaces with vegetable
oil will aid in the protection of your unit. NEVER PAINT THE
INTERIOR OF THE UNIT.
Cooking Surface: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the
cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to smoking or grilling. It is not recommended to
clean cooking surfaces while the unit is hot.
COOKING TIPS
Building Your Fire
1. Stack charcoal briquets or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile
on top of the charcoal grate. We recommend no more than 1.5
lbs. (approximately 20 briquets) to start your fire, adding more
as needed.
2. We do not recommend using charcoal lighter fluid. If using a
chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire starter,
light your fire according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Always light the fire with the smoke chamber and lid removed.
Leave open until the briquets are fully lit. If using lighter
fluid, failure to do this could trap fumes in the smoker and may
result in a flash fire when the lid or door is opened.
4. Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as
ashbacks may occur causing injury.
5. You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquets
ashes over and produces a red glow (approximately 12-15
minutes).
6. Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquets
in a pile or spread them evenly across the charcoal grate
using long-handled poker.
7. Always use the smoker with the charcoal grate ring installed
to avoid hot coals laying against the smoker walls.
