TIPS FOR USING WOOD CHIPS
• Therewillbealotofsmokeproducedwhenusingwoodchips.Smokewillescapethroughseamsandturn
 theinsideofsmokerblack.Thisisnormal.
• Woodchipsmustbeusedinordertoproducesmokeandcreatethesmokeflavor.Neverusemorethan1
 cupofwoodchipsatatime.Neverusewoodchunks.
• Woodchipsshouldbelevelwithtoprimofwoodchipbowl.
• Youmayusedryorpre-soakedwoodchipsinyoursmoker.Drychipswillburnfasterandproducemore
 intensesmoke.Chipspre-soakedinwater(forapproximately30minutes)willburnslowerandproducea
less intense smoke.
• Ifwoodchipsdonotsmokeonlowsetting,increasetemperature.After8to10minutesorwhenwoodchips
 begintosmolder,reducetemperaturetodesiredlowsetting.
• Checkwoodchipbowlperiodicallytoseeifwoodhasburneddown.Addmorechipsasneeded.
•Donotleaveoldwoodashesinthewoodchipbowl.Onceashesarecold,emptybowl.Bowlshouldbe
 cleanedoutpriorto,andaftereachusetopreventashbuildup.
When door is opened, a are up may occur. Should wood chips are up, immediately close door and vent,
wait for wood chips to burn down, then open door again. Do not spray with water.
