The smoker system may be used alone for roasting and smoking at low temperature or in
conjunction with other burners. The tray can also act as a steamer when filled by water.
Selection of wood chips is a personal choice. It is based on your personal taste. The most popular
wood chips are Hickory and Mesquite. Hickory is usually used for read meats. Mesquite is used
with poultry and seafood because of its sweeter taste. See the list below for more information.

USING THE SMOKER
The smoker system on LUXOR utilizes a specific, low BTU burner for precise control.
The slide-out Smoker Trays on LUXOR gas grills are made of stainless steel. All units are equipped
with the smoker tray.
The ideal flavor for your food is based on the wood chips you choose. To help you decide on
wood chips, a chart outlining types of wood chips and recommended flavors can be found in
this section.
After deciding which wood chips to use, soak them in water then place them into the tray. Light the
Smoker and leave on "Hi" setting for 5 minutes. This will start the smoker. However, it needs to be lowered
after initiating the smoker to avoid burning the chips too fast. Adjust to desired cooking setting then place
your food on the grill.
To maximize the smoking effect, the lid should be closed as much as possible, but never leave the
smoker / grill unattended during this period.
