TIP
n
Choose a cooking cabinet tempera-
ture no higher than 150°C in order to
avoid giving the smoked food a bitter
taste.
n
Once the timer has gone off, if the
food is not yet done to your liking,
dispose of the ashes, fill the Var-
ioSmoker with new smoking mate-
rial, and continue smoking the food.
n
You can extend smoking time by
keeping the food inside the smoke-
filled cooking cabinet with the door
closed.
