treated) charcoal on top of the Char-  
coal Grate (F).

used without the Upper Body (A)  
and it’s associated Water Pan, and

or over-filling.  
i. Close upper side Door (H) and allow

a. Before starting to cook, prepare all  
food in advance.  
e. Replace the Dome Lid (C).  
b. Ensure that all food is completely  
cooked before being consumed.  
7. adding Water during Cooking:  
a. Option 1 - Adding water through the  
top of the Smoker House Grill.  
c. Cut fat off of meat before grilling to  
avoid it dripping onto hot fire and  
causing flare-ups.  
b. Remove the Dome Lid (C) by grasp-  
ing handle (use hot pad, or heat  
resistant gloves, not included), tilting  
it towards you to allow heat and  
smoke to escape away from your  
face. NOTE: Use caution as flames  
can flare up when fresh air suddenly  
comes in contact with the charcoal  
and/or wood fire.  
d. If marinade is used, let meat dry  
completely before grilling as oily  
meat can cause flare-ups and tends  
to burn.  
e. Herbs and spices should be used  
before meat is placed on the grill.  
f. Aluminum foil is most suitable for  
cooking vegetables.  
c. If the water is low, add water by  
moving the food on the upper Cook-  
ing Grill (E) aside with a large fork,  
or cooking tongs (not supplied)  
and pouring water carefully down  
through the slats in the Cooking Grill  
(E). Pour slowly to avoid splashing  
or over filling.  
g. During smoking, avoid the tempta-  
tion to lift the Dome Lid (C) to check  
the food. Lifting the lid allows heat  
to escape making additional cooking  
time necessary.
