PRE-SEASONING
Pre-seasoning will rid your smoker of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process, allowing
them to burn off. PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE.
1. Insert the charcoal partition into the charcoal basket
2. Fill the charcoal basket ¼ - ½ full with charcoal (approximately 4-6pounds of charcoal).
3. Start the smoker following the START-UP instructions, and set the temperature to 275°F for 120 minutes.
4. After 120 minutes, set the temperature to 400°F, allow the smoker to burn out the remaining charcoal.
5. Allow the smoker to cool COMPLETELY.
6. Once cool, remove all the ash from the ash tray in the smoker. Wipe down your charcoal partition,
charcoal basket, and ash tray with vegetable shortening. This will help keep these components
seasoned.
7. Once oiled, repeat steps 1 – 5.
Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable
shortening and heat as indicated above.
