RECIPES  
LET’S GET STARTED!  
• This is a slow smoker…allow sufcient time for cooking. Smoker is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.  
• “Preseason” smoker prior to rst use. See page 11.  
SMOKED PORK BUTT  
7 lbs Fresh pork butt  
SMOKED TUNA  
4 Tuna Steaks (1” thick)  
1 1/8 cup Sugar  
½ tsp Salt  
• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at max temperature before loading food.  
• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.  
3/8 cup Salt  
¼ cup Brown Sugar  
2 tbsp Chili Powder  
Suggested wood chips for smoking:  
Apple Chips  
1 tsp Pepper  
¼ tsp Garlic (granulated)  
¼ tsp Prague powder #1  
1 cup Honey  
• Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking  
time and cause uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure  
proper heat circulation. If utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even  
cooking. Please see manual for more detail.  
1 gal Water  
Mix ingredients and rub onto pork butt. Cook pork butt  
for 5 hours in 225 degree pre heated smoker using  
apple wood chips during the rst 3 hours. After 5  
hours remove butt and wrap in heavy foil. Cook for an  
additional 1 to 1 ½ hours. Internal temperature should  
be 160 degrees. Serve.  
• Close air damper on top of unit to retain moisture and heat. If cooking foods such as sh or jerky,  
Suggested wood chips for smoking:  
Hickory or apple chips  
open air damper to release moisture.  
Temperature reading on control panel will uctuate + or - 10 to 15 degrees as smoker cycles on  
and off.  
Mix above ingredients until dissolved in water. Place in  
pre-heated smoker at 140 degrees and cook for about  
7 hours using water mixture in water pan.  
• Store smoker in a dry area after use.  
• Extreme cold temperatures may extend cooking times.  
• CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE. This will extend the life of your smoker and prevent mold and  
mildew.

tray may need to be emptied periodically during cooking.

• Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes heat to escape and may  
cause wood to are up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop are up.  
• Do not leave old wood ashes in the wood tray. Once ashes are cold empty tray. Tray should be cleaned  
out prior to and after each use to prevent ash buildup.

• Glass in door is tempered and will not break under normal operation.  
• This is a smoker. There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chips. Smoke will escape  
through seams and turn the inside of smoker black. This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around  
door, door latch can be adjusted to further tighten door seal against body.

To adjust door latch, loosen hex nut on door latch. Turn hook  
clockwise to tighten as shown. Secure hex nut rmly against  
door latch.

• Opening smoker door during cooking process may extend cooking  
time due to heat loss.  
• When outside temperature is cooler than 65°F (18°C) and/or  
altitude is above 3,500 feet (1067m), additional cooking time may  
be required. To insure that meat is completely cooked use a  
meat thermometer to test internal temperature.
