SEASONING
Preparing to use your smoker
Before cooking with your smoker, the following steps should be closely followed
to both cure the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to properly follow
these steps may damage the finish and or impart metallic flavors to your foods.
1. Brush all interior surfaces including cooking grates and fire grates with
vegetable cooking oil.
2. Build a small fire on the fire grate or in the basket, being sure not to lay coals
against the walls.
3. Close door. (Position smokestack and firebox damper at one quarter open.)
This burn should be sustained for at least two hours, the longer the better.
Then, begin increasing temperature by opening the dampers half-way and
adding more charcoal. Your smoker is now ready for use.
SMOKER MAINTENANCE
Rust can appear on the inside of your smoker. Maintaining a light coat of veg-
etable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the protection of your unit. Even with
proper care and use, the exterior surfaces of the smoker may peel and/or rust
and need occasional paint touch up. We recommend the use of commercially
available black high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF
THE UNIT!
Frequency of cleanup is determined by how often the grill is used. Make sure
coals are completely extinguished before cleaning the inside of the unit. Thor-
oughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the
interior of the unit with a cloth or paper towels.
