Tips For Good Smoking
1. Your Model 050/055 does not require pre-heating.
2. Try lots of different seasonings until you find the one you like the best.
3. Use a meat thermometer, following the manufacturer’s instructions, to determine the internal
temperature of smoked products. It is not beneficial to use this thermometer to measure internal air
temperature.
4. Your Model 050/055 is an excellent slow cooking oven, without wood. Use it for slow-roasting meats and
poultry. Cooking times are the same as for smoke-cooking.
5. Keep a “logbook” of each time you cook in your Cookshack Smoker. This will allow you to compare
results and make any needed adjustments . (See sample logbook on page 10.)
6. Consider cooking a small load the first time you use your unit and gradually increase the size and
quality of product until you are comfortable with the results you are achieving.
Maintenance
1. Periodically check electrical plug and wire for any type of wear or damage.
2. Twice annually put two drops of lightweight oil on the hinge pins to prevent binding.
3. Check casters for free movement.
