operation

read the entire important saFeguards section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Clean the appliance before each use as explained in the “Cleaning” section.

NOTE: Before first use (and after cleaning), apply a light coat of vegetable oil, or vegetable cooking spray to interior of the Dome Lid (C), the

Upper (B), and Lower Body (A), and the Cooking Grills (E). This will help reduce interior rusting. Do not apply oil to the Water Pans (D).

3. Curing the smoker house grill:

note: Curing is a “breaking in” step, and is useful for ridding your Smoke

House Grill of any “new” smell that may accompany a brand new product. It also prevents any foreign smell or taste the first time you cook food. a. Remove Dome Lid (C) and Upper

Body (B) from Smoker House Grill.

b. Do not put water into the Water Pans

(D) at this time. c. Place fresh charcoal briquettes onto the Charcoal Grate (F) in the Lower

Body (A). Lay the briquettes flat (do not stack) in square pattern leaving approximately 1/2” between each briquette.

d. Apply an ample amount of lighter fluid to briquettes and let it soak in for about three minutes.

e. Place the Upper Body (B) onto the

Lower Body (A). Light the charcoal in the Upper Body from the top, using a long wooden match, or long neck butane lighter.

f. Open the side Door (H) (for ventilation). Light the charcoal briquettes on the grate in the Lower Body (A) using either a long wooden match, or a long neck butane lighter. Leave the side Door (H) open. g. It is very important to leave the

Dome lid (C) off, and the Doors

(H) open until the lighter fluid has completely burned off. This usually takes about 10 minutes. h. Close the two Doors (H), and place the Dome Lid (C) onto the Smoker

House Grill. Open the Vent (I), on top of the Dome Lid (C), all the way.

note: Let the charcoal completely burn out before emptying the charcoal ash into a metal ash storage container with a tight metal cover.

4. To prevent accidents, let the Smoker

House Grill cool completely before

emptying, cleaning, or storing. Always store the Smoker House Grill away from flammable materials, and out of children’s reach.

5. using your smoker house grill: a. Remove the Dome Lid (C), and the

Upper Body (B) and set aside.

b. There are two options for placing the Water Pan (D) in the lower body.

The Water Pan can be placed low in the lower Layer Body (A) by resting Water Pan on the inside Leg

(G) supports, or the Water Pan can rest on 3 upper Supports (L). Now center the Charcoal Grate (F) in the middle of the Water Pan (D).

c. Stack 8 to 10 lb of fresh (non pretreated) charcoal on top of the Charcoal Grate (F).

d. Saturate charcoal with lighter fluid that is approved for lighting charcoal

ONLY. NEVER use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, or any other non-approved starter.

e. Wait 2 to 3 minutes for lighter fluid to soak in. Store the unused charcoal and lighter fluid a safe distance from the Smoker House Grill.

f. Place a Cooking Grill (E) onto the top lip of the Water Pan (D).

g. Open the Door (H) on the side of the

Lower Body (A) (for ventilation), and carefully light the stack of charcoal using a long wooden match, or a long neck butane lighter.

note: Let the charcoal burn until it is covered with a light gray ash before closing the side Door (H).

h. As soon as the lower charcoal is burning, place the Upper Body (B) onto the Lower Body (A) and place i. j. a Water Pan (D) securely onto the

Supports (L) within the Upper Body

(B).

Carefully fill the Water Pan (D) with warm water, or marinade to 1” below the top of the pan rim. NOTE: A full

Water Pan (D) will hold one gallon of water and should last 2 to 3 hours.

Place a Cooking Grill (E) onto the top of the Water Pan (D) in the

Upper Body (B).

k. Place your food onto the Cooking

Grill (E) in the Lower Body (A).

Spread the food in one layer throughout the Chrome Cooking

Grill (E), allowing at least 1/2 inch of space between the various pieces of food. This will allow the smoke and moist heat to circulate around and through all the food evenly.

l. Additional food can be added to the top cooking Grill (E).

m. Place the Dome Lid (C) onto the

Smoker House Grill and allow the food to cook.

note: The Smoker House Grill may be used without the Upper Body (A) and it’s associated Water Pan, and

Cooking Grill if less food cooking is required.

6. adding Charcoal and/or Wood during cooking: a. Remove the Dome Lid (C) by grasping 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.

SKU 66927 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7

b. Carefully open side Door (H). When the Smoker House Grill is being used, the Doors (H) will become very hot.

c. Use long cooking tongs (not included) to lightly brush ashes off hot coals before using the tongs to add more charcoal and/or wood.

d. Leave Door (H) open until the charcoal and/or wood is burning, and then it may be closed.

e. Replace the Dome Lid (C).

7. adding Water during Cooking: a. Option 1 - Adding water through the top of the Smoker House Grill.

b. Remove the Dome Lid (C) by grasping 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.

c. If the water is low, add water by moving the food on the upper Cooking 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.

d. Re-position the food for proper cooking and replace the Dome Lid (C).

e. Option 2 - Adding water through the upper side Door (H).

f. Carefully open the upper side Door

(H). Use caution because flames may suddenly flare up when fresh air is exposed to burning coal or wood.

g. Use a flexible funnel or spout (not supplied) and carefully add water to within one inch of the Water Pan (D) lip.

h. Pour water slowly to avoid splashing or over-filling.

i. Close upper side Door (H) and allow food to continue cooking.

8. Cooking tips: a. Before starting to cook, prepare all food in advance.

b. Ensure that all food is completely cooked before being consumed.

c. Cut fat off of meat before grilling to avoid it dripping onto hot fire and causing flare-ups. 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.

g. During smoking, avoid the temptation to lift the Dome Lid (C) to check the food. Lifting the lid allows heat to escape making additional cooking time necessary.
