minutes, Slow Cooker will go into standby mode.

• During COMBO Smoke, COLD Smoke time is 1/3 of total time for Program mode. For
example, if COMBO Smoke is set for 6 hours the rst 2 hours will be COLD Smoke
and remaining 4 hours will be HOT Smoke. For Probe Mode, COLD Smoke time is
always 1 hour, and then unit will switch to HOT Smoke until desired temperature is

SMOKING TIPS
• Slow Cooker Vessel is for slow cooking only, and not to be used when smoking.
• Cover Smoking Chamber Lid with aluminum foil before smoking for easy cleanup.
• To add avoring and keep meats moist, marinate, brine or use a dry rub prior to smoking.
• When smoking nuts or cheese, add aluminum foil to the Smoking Rack to prevent food
from slipping onto the bottom or cheeses from dripping.
• Do not soak wood chips before smoking. Soaking will lengthen the time for the wood chips
to start smoking.
• Meat should be placed fat side up on the Smoking Rack, with meaty side down.
• Foods closest to the Smoking Chamber may be darker when compared to other areas of
food on other Smoking Racks.
• Do not open Lid while smoking. Opening Lid will allow smoke to escape or change the
time.
• No need to turn food over. Food should be smoked and/or cooked evenly.
• For better ribs, remove the paper-thin membrane on the bone side of ribs. The membrane
can get tough and harder to eat.
• For best results, place food on the second rack if cooking small amounts, with no food on
the bottom rack.
• If cooking on all racks, arrange food around the Smoking Chamber for best results, and not
directly over the Chamber.
