Smoking
Caution:
Before each use, check handles and
support brackets to make sure they
are securely fastened.
1. Remove dome lid and upper body from lower
body.
2. Always use high quality charcoal. We
recommend using a Charmate Chimney
Starter which speeds up the lighting process
and avoids the dangers associated with
charcoal lighter fluid. Directions for use can be
found with the Chimney Starter.
3. If you do not use a Chimney Starter, carefully
place 2.5-3.5 kilos of charcoal in the charcoal
bowl. If you chose to use lighter fluid or fire
starters carefully follow the manufacturer’s
warnings.
4. If using lighter fluid, saturate charcoal with
lighter fluid and wait 2 to 3 minutes for fluid to
soak in. Store charcoal lighter fluid safely
away from Smoker & Grill.
5. Carefully light the charcoal and allow to burn
until covered with a light ash prior to closing
door and continuing to Step 6. This may take
up to 30 minutes, if you use a Charmate
Chimney Starter this may take less time.
Warning:
Failure to do this could trap fumes from
charcoal lighting fluid in Smoker & Grill
and may result in a flash-fire or
explosion when door is opened or dome
lid is removed.
6. Refer to “Flavoring Wood” section overleaf for
the recommended amount of flavoring wood.
Use long cooking tongs to carefully place
flavoring wood directly on top of hot charcoal
or into water bowl.
7. Place empty water bowl inside Smoker & Grill
body on the lower support brackets. Position
water bowl so rim is resting securely on
notched out step of all three support brackets.
8. Carefully, fill water bowl with warm water or
marinade to 2.5cm below the rim. A full pan
holds 4.5 – 5.5 litres of water and will last for
approximately 3-4 hours. Do not over fill or
allow water to overflow from water bowl.
9. Place a cooking rack on the lower support
brackets directly above the water bowl.
10. Place food on the cooking rack in a single
layer with space between each piece. This will
allow smoke and moist heat to circulate evenly
around all pieces of food.
11. Place the upper body on lower body, making
sure the water bowl is still in place.
12. Place the other cooking rack on the upper
support brackets. Make sure the rim is resting
securely on the notched-out step of all three
support brackets. Place food on the cooking
rack and cover with dome.
from Smoker & Grill. Use caution to protect
yourself and property. Place remaining
coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal
container and completely saturate with water.
Allow coals and water to remain in metal
container 24 hours prior to disposing.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be
placed a safe distance from all structures and
combustible materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the
surface beneath and around Smoker to
extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which
may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning
process.
• Store the Smoker & Grill out of reach of
children, indoors in a dry location when not in
use.
• Do not attempt to service Smoker & Grill
other than normal maintenance as explained
in “After-Use Safety and Proper Care &
Maintenance” sections of this manual.
• Properly dispose of all packaging material.
Use caution and common sense when
using your Smoker & Grill.
Failure to adhere to the safety warnings
and guidelines in this manual could result
in bodily injury or property damage.
