durationofthisstagewillvarysomewhatduetodiffering
ambientconditions,settemperatures,and

SmokeTIP:
Tovarysmokeflavorintensity,experimentwiththe
amountoftimeyouusethesmokemodeandthemix
offlavoredpelletsyouusealongwiththeallpurpose
pellets.Thisismoreimportantifyouusestronger
flavoredpelletssuchasMesquite.Switchingtosmoke
modesoonafter
puttingyourfoodonthegrillallows
thesmoketopenetratethemeatsbeforethey have
achancetosearclosed.Thesmokemodeworksbest
whenalongercookingtimeisrequired,suchaslarge
cutsofmeat,fish,orpoultry.Experimentwiththe
lengthoftimeyouleave
forsmokingbeforecooking
thoroughly.Trydifferentcombinationsofbothmodes.
