Setup
- Prepare Wood Chips: Place a small amount of aromatic smoking wood chips (not included) into the bottom of the smoker pan. Ensure the chips are suitable for stovetop smoking.
- Insert Smoking Chamber: Place the smoking chamber insert over the wood chips in the pan. This prevents food from directly contacting the chips.
- Position Food Rack: Set the food rack insert on top of the smoking chamber.

Operating Instructions
- Place Food: Arrange your desired food (meat, poultry, seafood, vegetables, or cheese) on the food rack. Ensure there is adequate space for smoke circulation.
- Cover: Place the tight-fitting lid securely on the smoker pan.
- Heat Source: Position the assembled smoker on your stovetop. The 3-layer aluminum core base is suitable for all stovetops, including induction.
- Begin Smoking: Turn on the heat to a medium setting. The wood chips will begin to smolder, creating smoke that infuses your food. Cooking times will vary based on the food type and desired smoky flavor intensity.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your stovetop smoker, consider the following:
- Insufficient Smoke: Ensure the heat setting is appropriate for the wood chips. Too low heat may not generate enough smoke, while too high heat can burn the chips too quickly. Check that the smoking chamber is properly positioned over the chips.
- Uneven Cooking: Verify that the smoker is placed evenly on the heat source. For larger items, consider rotating the food halfway through the smoking process.
- Smoke Leakage: Confirm that the lid is seated tightly on the pan. A proper seal is crucial for effective smoking.
