Make sure to not open the door. This will season the inside of you smoker. GETTING READY TO SMOKE MEAT You can use almost any type of hard wood in your smoker.

The wood box must always be closed and placed back in the smoker in the proper position. Use aluminum foil to line the bottom of the smoker. Punch a hole in the foil through the drain hole. This allows the drippings to drain out. Use the drip pan to catch any meat drippings by putting it under the drain hole. CAUTION! IF THE DRAIN IS CLOGGED, IT CAN CAUSE GREASE TO COLLECT ON THE SMOKER FLOOR AND THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE.

6 For easy clean up, you can also lint the wood box lid with aluminum foil. Always discard used foil after smoking food and use new foil for each use. The wood box must always be properly placed in the smoker whether you are using wood or not using wood. You can use your smoker as a slow cooker or to keep foods warm.

Turn the control knob to the temperature you want. It will take about minutes for the smoker to heat up, depending on the how much food you are cooking and the starting temperature of the food It is not necessary to preheat the smoker as long as you follow the recipe's recommended time and temperature as long as the recipe does not call for a temperature over 250ºF. If a higher temperature is required by the recipe, increase the time. Use a temperature probe to check the internal temperature of the food. CAUTION: Do not leave the smoker unattended when in operation and the door is open! Serious injury can occur. After you are finished with using your smoker, unplug it. Allow enough time for the wood box to cool down before emptying the contents. Use caution as contents of the wood box can be hot. When removing the wood box from the smoker, use water to douse the content. Also use caution when handling the ashes as they can be hot.

7 MAINTENANCE: A well maintained smoker is one that is clean but also has a protective coating. Always clean out ashes, loose scale and grease, and any food build up but you do not want to scrub the smoker. If you need to clean the smoker completely make sure to reseason it before using. You want to keep the metal surface oily and smoky this will protect your smoker from rusting. Do not remove the seasoning from the walls of the smoker. For best results from your smoker, the seasonings should be left on the walls of the smoker. Remove the shelves and the side rails and these can be cleaned by putting them in the dishwasher or hand wash. OUR GUARANTEE: Iron Chef Kitchen Smoker wants you to be happy with your purchase.
