Using the smoker
Preparation
Have the items that you want to smoke ready before
you fill the smoker. There are many ways to cold
smoke your food or drink. Depending on what you
are smoking, you could place your food
(or drink) in a sealable plastic bag, in a bowl
under some wrapping foil, under a dome, or
even in a glass.
Fill the smoking chamber
There are many types of wood and even some
herbs and certain tea leaves that can be used for
smoking. Make sure that the material that you
want to burn is shredded enough. Larger bits of
wood may be difficult to light. Not a lot of material
is required for smoking.
It is enough to put a pinch or two of the chipped
material to burn in the smoking chamber.
Light and start the smoker
Press the Power button, the ventilator wil start and
you will hear a soft spinning sound. Now use a
lighter to light the material in the smoking chamber.
The airflow may pull the flame of the lighter partly
into the smoking chamber.
Applying the smoker
Wait until smoke comes out of the open end of
the hose. Hold the open end of the hose above
the item to be smoked. If you are using a sealable
bag, dome or a bowl with shrink wrapping, then
it is enough to just fill these with smoke. It is not
necessary to smoke continuously. One or two
minutes should be enough.
Stopping the smoker
Press the Power button again to stop smoking. Let
the unit cool down for at least two minutes before
cleaning.
After use
Cleaning
Make sure that the smoking chamber is fully cooled
down before cleaning the Wartmann
®
smoker.
To clean the Wartmann
®
smoker carefully pull off
the top cover. Turn the top cover upside down
to remove any remaining burned material from
the smoking chamber. Check that there is no dirt
remaining on top of the body and in specific on top
of the ventilator inlet.
Put the top cover back on the body once both of
these parts have been cleaned.
Storing
Once the unit is cooled down it can be stored
away. The hose may be optionally removed from
the nozzle before storage. If the Wartmann
®
smoker
is stored away for longer than 2 months then we
advise to remove the batteries before storage. To
remove the batteries unclip the battery cover and
take out the batteries.
Maintenance
Your Wartmann
®
smoker does not require any
special care. It may happen that the mesh in the
smoking chamber is blocked and can’t be cleaned.
Remove in that case the top cover and turn it upside
down. Inside the top cover is a metal plate that
protects ashes from falling into the ventilator. With
a screw driver, remove the two screws that hold the
metal plate in its position. Take out the metal plate
and clean the mesh and the metal plate. Place the
metal plate back in its position and lock it again
with the two screws. The outer rim of the metal plate
should point upwards towards the mesh.
