1. Remove water pan from smoker and do not use flavoring wood while curing your smoker.
Coat all interior surfaces of the smoker cabinet, side rack and cooking grill with vegetable oil
or vegetable oil spray.
Note: DO NOT coat the electric element and the controller.
2. Plug the smoker into electric outlet.
Warning: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120 volts which is GFCI protected at 15 or
20 amps. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate any other appliances or
electrical devices on the same circuit as the smoker.
3. Using your desired flavoring woods and water/marinades, burn your smoker at approximately 300
degrees Fahrenheit for 45 -60 minutes. Let the smoker cool and then clean out the used water/
marinade and wood.
This process will allow the heat to burn off any dust or residue left during the manufacturing
process.
Read all safety warnings and instructions before operating your smoker.
Operating Instructions for
Electric Smoker
Smoker is intended for outdoor use only and should be used on a hard, level, non- combustible
surface away from roof overhangs and/or any combustible material. Do not use smoker on wooden
surface or any other surface that could burn. Place the smoker in an outdoor area that is protected
from the wind and keep the smoker away from open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering
your home.
Curing Your Smoker:
Before first use, cure your smoker to minimize damage to the exterior finish as well as rid the smoker of
paint odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the first meal prepared.
Note: We recommend lining the water pan and wood chip pan with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.
1. Open door and remove wire rack that supports the wood chip pan and water pan.
2. Remove lid from the wood chip pan and add wood chips. We recommend the use of wood chips,
not wood chunks. Replace the wood chip pan lid and slide back into smoker.
3. Carefully fill water pan with water or your choice or marinade to 3/4 full. Do not fill completely or
water may overflow during use.
4. Remove cooking grids and adjust the wire cooking grid support brackets to the desired height for
the items you are smoking.
5. Place food on cooking grid(s) in a single layer and leave room between each piece to allow smoke
and moisture to circulate evenly. Slide cooking grid into the wire cooking grid support brackets.
Repeat steps for each cooking grid that is used.
6. Close door and plug the smoker into electric outlet.
Warning: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120-volts that is GFCI protected at 15
or 20 amps. If you are not sure the outlet is suitable, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
operate this smoker on the same circuit with any other appliance or electrical device.
