Setup
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your smoker for first use:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and ensure all components listed in the 'Product Components' section are present.
- Assemble the Base: Place the smoker base on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Insert Burners: Position the two fuel gel burners into the designated slots in the smoker base. Ensure they are stable.
- Place Fat Drip Tray: Place the fat drip tray directly above the burners in the main smoking pan. This tray is crucial for collecting fat and preventing flare-ups.
- Add Wood Chips: Spread a thin, even layer of wood chips (suitable for smoking) onto the bottom of the main smoking pan, beneath where the food will be placed. Do not soak the wood chips.
- Position Grill Racks: Place one or both grill racks into the main smoking pan, depending on the amount of food you intend to smoke. If using the upper smoking chamber, place the second grill rack within it.
- Prepare Food: Place your prepared food (meat, fish, cheese, etc.) onto the grill racks. Ensure there is adequate space for smoke circulation.

Operating Instructions
Smoking Process
- Light the Burners: Carefully light the fuel gel in both burners using a long lighter or match. Adjust the flame height as needed using the burner's control mechanism.
- Close the Lid: Once the food is in place and burners are lit, securely close the lid.
- Monitor Temperature: Use the integrated thermometer on the lid to monitor the internal temperature of the smoker. Adjust the burner flames to maintain the desired smoking temperature.
- Smoking Duration: The smoking time will vary depending on the type and thickness of the food, as well as the desired smoke intensity. Refer to specific smoking recipes for guidance.
- Check Doneness: Periodically check the food for doneness. Avoid opening the lid too frequently, as this releases heat and smoke.
- Extinguish Burners: Once smoking is complete, carefully extinguish the burner flames. Allow the smoker and its contents to cool before handling.

- Empty Ash/Chips: Dispose of used wood chips and ash from the main smoking pan.
- Clean Burners: Wipe the fuel gel burners clean. Ensure no residue obstructs the flame adjustment mechanism.
- Dry Thoroughly: Dry all components thoroughly before reassembling or storing to prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the smoker in a dry, protected area when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient Smoke Production | Not enough wood chips; wood chips are too wet; burners not hot enough. | Add more dry wood chips; increase burner flame; ensure burners are properly lit. |
| Temperature Too Low/High | Burner flame setting incorrect; lid not sealed properly; external weather conditions. | Adjust burner flame; ensure lid is closed tightly; consider ambient temperature. |
| Excessive Smoke (White/Grey) | Fat dripping onto burners; wood chips burning too fast. | Ensure fat drip tray is clean and correctly positioned; reduce burner flame slightly. |
| Food Not Cooking Evenly | Overcrowding the smoker; uneven heat distribution. | Do not overcrowd the racks; rotate food if necessary; ensure burners are providing even heat. |
