INSTRUCTIONS & RECIPES
Introduction
Your Emson Smoker Gourmet Smoker/Cooker is the most up-to-date, and state-of-
the-art cooking machine introduced since the invention of the pressure cooker. It is the most
modern method of preparing delicious smoked barbeque foods in the home kitchen. This
opens a new realm of lower calorie flavorful foods,
because smoke gives flavor and not calories.
Although primarily used as a new method of
cooking barbeque, it will also work as a cold smoker
or an aromatic-cooking machine. It will also work as a
pressure cooker or steamer. These features provide for
many adventures for the palate in delightfully different
and tasty recipes.
As a cold smoker, it will smoke; cheese, seafood,
vegetables and flavor meats with smoke to be cooked
later by other methods. As an aromatic cooker, in
both hot and cold smoke modes, various types of
aromatic woods and flavoring may be used. Some of these include; hickory, mesquite, apple
wood, cherry wood, oak wood, sassafras root, wines, rum, brandy extracts and vinegar.
Omit the wood and the Emson Smoker Gourmet Smoker/Cooker becomes a pressure
cooker; cooking, tenderizing and reducing shrinkage and cooking times of foods. Steaming
vegetables preserves vitamins and flavor. Cook delicious fluffy rice easily.
In the conventional dry heat method of barbequing, 40% to 50% of meat is lost in
shrinkage and drippings resulting in a dry and chewy product. Barbequing with the
Emson Smoker method can reduce shrinkage by 50% resulting in a moist and juicy
product. There is a great savings in time when compared to the charcoal method.
All meats cooked by the Emson Smoker Gourmet Smoker/Cooker may be frozen or
refrigerated after cooking. The food may be heated later and served on demand, without loss
of the smoke flavor.

Description of Operation
The Emson Smoker Gourmet Smoker/Cooker combines the modern scientific
method of pressure baking with pressure smoking to get that “old-fashioned” smoke
flavor. It does this economically, automatically, and in a fraction of the time taken to
prepare barbeque by ordinary methods.
In operation as a barbeque appliance, place a small amount of wood (hickory or other
woods) in the smoke generator cup. Meats or foods to be cooked are prepared according to
the recipes and then placed into the food basket. The capacity of the unit is up to 4 pounds
depending on the size and shape of the product to be cooked. After the cooker is loaded
with the food to be cooked, put the cover in place. Heat is applied and pressure builds in
the appliance. At the same time, the wood chars and creates smoke. The smoke is forced
through the food under pressure. The relief valve releases a small amount of steam from
time to time to control the pressure.
Release pressure manually by removing the weighted knob from the valve stem at
the end of the cooking cycle. The appliance cannot be opened until the steam pressure is
completely exhausted. Then turn the cover clockwise and lift to remove it.
Generally, the more wood chips placed into the cup the stronger the smoke flavor
in the food being cooked. Pre-smoking will achieve the same results. Start with a small
amount of chips, such as 3 pieces of wood, until you determine what is enough to satisfy
your taste.
The more time used to cook meat in the appliance, the more tender the meat becomes.
Control Panel
“UP-DOWN/TIME” Button allows you to control the
amount of time you want to cook a product. This time is
displayed in the “DISPLAY WINDOW”.
“UP” Button
The “UP” button allows you to set and advance the
“Time” setting. The time of cooking will appear
in the display as minutes. If you press and hold the
“UP” button, the time will increase automatically in
increments of 1 minute. The longer you hold the button,
the faster the time will advance. The maximum time
you can set is 99 minutes (1 hour 39 minutes). If you
inadvertently pass the desired time, you may readjust it
by pressing the “DOWN” button (See below).
“DOWN” Button
The “DOWN” button allows you to go backward
with the “Time” setting displayed in the time display
window. Here, again, the longer you hold the button, the
faster the time will decrease.
“HOT/COLD” Smoke Button
This button allows you to cook with pressure and
smoke at the same time (HOT SMOKE) or to smoke
foods only (COLD SMOKE) with no pressure and
5
relatively little heat. The button will alternate the lights from hot smoke to “COLD
SMOKE” by pushing the button more than once.
“HOT SMOKE”: Press the “HOT/COLD” button until the light is lit beside the words
“HOT SMOKE.” The unit is now in the “HOT SMOKE” mode. In the hot
smoke mode, both the main element and the charring element are energized at the
same time. You may now enter the desired time of cooking by pressing the “UP-
DOWN” button. This allows you to impart a delicious smoke flavor to food and
cook under pressure at the same time. This is the most popular mode with which to
barbeque.
“COLD SMOKE”: Press the “HOT/COLD” button until the light is lit beside the words
“COLD SMOKE.” The unit is now in the “COLD SMOKE” mode. In the
“COLD SMOKE” mode, only the charring element is energized. You may now
enter the desired time of smoking by pressing the “UP-DOWN” button. This
allows you to “Cold Smoke”. This will allow you to smoke without cooking. For
example, you can flavor steaks to cook the meat on a charcoal grill or in a pan later
on. You may also use this method to smoke nuts and hard cheese such as; Cheddar,
Gouda or Parmesan cheeses.
NOTE: The “Cold Smoke” mode will emit a small amount of smoke smell into the
kitchen. If you object to this smell, you may want to use the unit under a hood
vented to the outside when cooking in this mode.
This mode also allows you to start the unit to smoking (Pre-smoke) in order to give
flavor to fast cooking meats, such as; fish and shrimp. Otherwise, the product will
cook before the unit starts to smoke properly. Then you will get very little smoke
flavor in the cooked product. You may add extra smoke by pre-smoking before
cooking to get extra strong flavor into the food you are cooking. As stated above,
use the “COLD SMOKE” mode in conjunction with the hot smoke mode to pre-
smoke in the cold mode and then begin barbequing in the hot smoke mode. Press
the “HOT/COLD” Smoke Button until the “COLD SMOKE” light is lit. Set
the desired time for cold smoking. Then press the “HOT/COLD” Smoke Button
until the hot smoke light is lit. The cooker will cold smoke for the time set and then
automatically hot smoke for the time set. You can cold smoke before the hot smoke
mode, but not after the hot smoke mode.
“PRESSURE/DELAY” Button
In the “PRESSURE” MODE, the “PRESSURE/DELAY” button allows you
to either cook with steam pressure or steam with no pressure. In the “DELAY”
mode the PRESSURE/DELAY” button allows you to delay the start of the above
cooking processes for up to 99 minutes.
“PRESSURE”: Press the button until the light is lit beside the words “PRESS/STEAM.”
To use in the “PRESSURE” mode place the weighted knob on the valve stem.
This will allow the unit to build pressure. You may now enter the desired time of
cooking by pressing the “UP-DOWN” button. This will allow you to cook foods
under pressure quickly and with great tenderness. The charring element is disabled
and no smoke will be imparted. However, plain pressure-cooked meats, although
delicious in flavor, will be lighter in appearance. You may use the“Brown” mode
before pressure-cooking meat to get the desired appearance (See below).
“STEAM”: There is no button named “Steam.” The “Steam” mode is the same as the
“Pressure” mode except the weighted valve is removed from the valve stem. Press
the button until the light is lit beside the word “PRESS/STEAM.” To use the
cooker in the “Steam” mode, do not place the weighted knob on the valve stem.
6
You may now enter the desired time of cooking by pressing the “UP-DOWN”
button. This allows the unit to continually release steam and not build pressure;
thus allowing you to steam foods such as vegetables and rice.
“DELAY”: Press the button until the light is lit beside the word “DELAY.” This feature
allows you to enter a delay time for any mode except browning or warm. You
may now enter the desired time of delay by pressing the “UP-DOWN” button.
This will allow you to delay the time of a cooking mode, for example, up to 99
minutes before beginning a sequence. Here is an example of a sequence using
the delay mode: Delay up to 99 minutes before the start of “Cold Smoke”;
then cold smoke for 30 minutes; then hot smoke for 30 minutes. The unit will
automatically stop the cooking process after the sequence is completed.
“BROWN/WARM” Button
The “BROWN” mode allows you to brown food and then cook by the other
methods after browning. The “WARM” feature allows you to hold food warm
after cooking.
In the “Brown” mode, leave the top off the cooker and place a small amount of
oil in the bottom of the cooking pot insert. The oil will get quite hot. The cooker
must always be attended. As a safety measure, the cooker cannot be timed longer
than 20 minutes. The unit will stop cooking after 20 minutes. If you desire further
browning after this time, you must reset the unit to the “Brown” mode and time
again. As stated above, you may use the “Brown” mode before the “Pressure”
mode to get a brown appearance.
In the “Warm” mode, place the top on the cooker. Do not place the weighted knob
on the valve stem. This allows moisture to escape and it will hold foods warm for
a limited amount of time without further cooking. You must release the pressure
before programming the “Warm” mode. If you do not release the steam pressure,
the food will continue to cook even though it may be in the “Warm” mode
“START/STOP” Button
The “Start / Stop” button allows you to start or stop any mode.
Start
The “Start” button allows you to start any mode if the “Stop” light is lit. You
must press the “Start” Button to begin the cooking process. After choosing the
desired mode, and setting the time(s), start the cooking process by pressing and
releasing the “Start” button. The “Start” light will come on.
Stop
The “Stop” button allows you to stop any mode if the “Start” light is lit. To
stop any mode after the “Start” button has been pressed, press and immediately
release the “Stop” button and the stop light will light. To clear all modes and start
again, press the “Stop” button for about 3 seconds.
LED Indicator Lights
The LED indicator lights are little red lights to the right of the mode buttons.
Each light will glow red when the mode button is pushed to indicate which mode
is used. When multiple modes are sequenced, the red light that is solid or not
blinking is the current mode that is functioning. The blinking lights indicate
future modes.

Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including
the following:
1. Read all instructions before use.
2. Use 120 Volt AC power only.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cords, plugs, inner or outer pots in water or
any other liquid. Ne Pas Immerger.
4. Release pressure slowly for about 30 seconds by lifting weight but not removing it. This is
especially important when cooking in the bottom of the pot; for, example Shrimp Risotto.
5. Do not overload appliance. Do not try to cook more than the maximum amount shown for each
recipe.
6. Do not use in the “HOT” or “COLD” smoke modes when cooking food without the food basket
and directly on the bottom of cooking pot insert. To do so will cause the charring element to
possibly char the meat where it touched the element giving it an unpleasant taste.
7. Do not attempt to open cover while unit is operating. Wait until the pressure is completely
exhausted before attempting to open cover.
8. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
9. When removing top after cooking, remove lid carefully and tilt it away from you so that trapped

11
CAUTION: Make sure that any embers are completely soaked and dead before
discarding or they may ignite and cause a fire.
4. Scrub the charring cup and charring cup lid with an abrasive cleaning pad to
remove any food and grease accumulation. Do not worry about removing all of the
smoke residue. Rinse and dry.
5. Dump fat and grease. An easy way to dispose of the fat and grease is to put it in a
plastic bag and seal the bag. The bag may then be put into the garbage bin.
CAUTION: Make sure the fat and grease has cooled down before bagging. Do
not pour fat and grease down the drain, as it will clog the drain.
6. Thoroughly hand wash the inside of the pot with hot soapy water using a clean
dishcloth. Do not use an abrasive pad, as it will remove the non-stick surface. Wash
the charring element using the dishcloth. Wash under the charring element. Rinse and
dry.
7. Clean the outside of the cooking pot insert with a damp dishcloth. On the outside of
the cooking pot insert you will see an electrical connection to the charring
element, keep this dry.
Clean Outside Housing:
1. Unplug the power cord from both the wall outlet and the appliance before cleaning.
2. Clean the outside of the appliance with a clean damp dishcloth or paper towel.
3. CAUTION: Do not immerse in water, or pour water into it.

When returning the inner cooking pot to the outer housing, be sure that the red arrow on
top of the inner cooking pot is aligned with the red arrow on top of the outer appliance
housing before inserting.
8. IMPORTANT: After several uses (approximately five), gently wash around the top of the lid/
cover to remove any smoke residue. Dip a small cleaning brush in hot soapy water, and push it
through the hole in the top above the ‘Pressure Safety Lock Valve.’ This is positioned on top of
the lid/cover in the plastic handle. Rinse the lid/cover to remove any soap residue.
CAUTION: If this is not done occasionally, the ‘Pressure Safety Lock Valve’ may stick and
not allow the unit to build pressure if it sticks open. This will affect your cooking process
and cooking times. It will not allow you to remove the top if it sticks close. If this happens,
insert a small pointed device, such as a plastic pen into the hole located in the plastic handle.
On the inside of the lid/cover directly below the hole where the ‘Valve Stem’ is located you will
see a round metal cover with slots on the side. Gently remove and wash in hot soapy water. Rinse
and dry. Re-assemble.
