Cooking Tips & Performance

Slow Temperature Ramp-Up

Smokers are designed for low & slow cooking; plan for preheating and gradual temperature increase.

Factors Affecting Target Temperature

Meat amount, initial meat temp, outside temp, and damper settings influence reaching the target temperature.

Uneven Rack Cooking

Higher temps near the heating element; rotate racks and ensure airflow by not overfilling.

Generator Smoke Leak

Never fully close the vent; open slightly to create upward draft and prevent generator damage.

Food Not Done at Target Temperature

Oven temp is reference; use internal food probes for accurate target temperatures.

Bisquettes Turning to Ash

Bisquettes continue burning briefly without the burner; empty and refill the drip bowl every 2 hours.
