Smoking Time
The smoking time is difficult to specify by the manufacturer. The unit is designed for
outdoor use and outside temperature and wind conditions can greatly affect the time
required to smoke a product. Low temperature and strong wind will increase the time
required.
Also, the house current, whether or not an extension cord is being used, and the amount
of product being smoked will have an effect on the length of time required to smoke the
products.

HELPFUL HINTS

Drip tray
This electric smoker is not a water smoker – you do not need to add water unless you
want to steam your food. The drip tray catches the grease and drippings from the food
you are smoking.
Chip bowl
This unit uses an heater for quicker heat-up and more consistent smoking. The chip bowl
should always be placed on the holder, not directly on the heating element, to ensure
the unit is operating as designed.
Wood chips
The smoke from the wood chips adds flavor to the food. Any kind of aromatic
hardwood, such as mesquite, apple, cheery, pecan, or hickory can be used. Wood
chips work much better than the larger chunks. Use only a handful of chips – too much
smoke leaves a strong aftertaste.
Grease Absorbent
The drip tray does not collect all fat and food liquids. For easier cleaning, a thin layer
of fat absorbent should be spread on the bottom of the smoking oven. Use granular oil
absorbing material. DO NOT use fragrant or chemically treated materials. Replace the
grease absorbing material regularly.
