Adding Wood
During Cooking
Adding Water
During Cooking
Additional flavoring wood should not have to be added during the cooking
process, however, it may be necessary when cooking very large pieces of
meat. Follow the instructions and cautions below to avoid injury while
adding wood.
1. Unplug smoker from electric outlet. Remove dome lid by tilting the
dome lid toward you to allow heat and steam to escape away from your
face. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly
comes in contact with grease fire.
2. Wearing oven mitts, remove food from cooking grills, then smoker body
from base pan.
WARNING: The water in water pan will be extremely HOT. When lifting
smoker body from base pan, use extreme caution and make
sure the water pan is securely in place on the three lower
support brackets. Keep legs and feet out from under the
smoker body to avoid being scalded by hot liquids spilling
from water pan. Be extremely careful not to tilt or jar smoker
so hot water does not spill out of water pan.
3. Set the smoker body with the water pan aside on a hard, level,
noncombustible surface.
4. Stand back a safe distance and use long cooking tongs to place
flavoring wood on the lava rock. Do not allow flavoring wood to come in
contact with the electric element.
5. Replace smoker body with the water pan on base pan.
WARNING: The water in water pan will be extremely HOT. When lifting
smoker body from ground, use extreme caution and make
sure the water pan is securely in place on the three lower
support brackets. Keep legs and feet out from under the
smoker body to avoid being scalded by hot liquids spilling
from water pan. Be extremely careful not to tilt or jar smoker
so hot water does not spill out of water pan.
6. Replace food on cooking grills then place the dome lid on smoker body.
7. Plug the smoker back into electric outlet and allow food to
continue cooking.
Check the water level in water pan if the complete cooking process takes
longer than 2 hours. A low water level can be detected by listening for the
sound of water sizzling. Water can be added to the water pan through the
top of smoker or side door. Use caution and follow instructions carefully.
WARNING: Do not spill water onto the electric element.
OPTION 1: Adding Water Through Top of Smoker
1. Unplug the smoker from electric outlet.
2. Lift the dome lid off the smoker body by tilting the dome lid toward
you to allow heat and steam to escape away from your face. Use
caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in
contact with fire. Inspect the water level in pan.
3. If water level is low, add water to water pan. If food is on top cooking
grill only, water may be added to the water pan by moving food aside
on cooking grill and pouring water down through the cooking grill. Fill
water pan to 1" below the rim. Pour slowly to avoid splashing or
overfilling.
