WARNING Explosion and fire hazard
• Do not use any fuel, e.g. smoking pellets or sawdust, in powder form.
• Ensure that the wood chips are sufficiently large.
• The wood chips must measure at least 0,2 in along the edge.
INFORMATION When the smoker box is not being used, the piping between the combisteamer
and the smoker box must be removed to ensure proper operation of the Com-
bisteamer. To do this, disconnect the outgoing air pipe from the intake pipe, ro-
tate it clockwise and close the
outgoing air pipe
closure.
4.1 Preparing the smoker box
INFORMATION Nature and source of danger
Too large an amount of wood chips results in excessive smoking; according,
use less rather than more.
INFORMATION Nature and source of danger
The wood chips must be at least 0,2 x 0,2 in in size.
Tip • To prevent the wood chips from burning too quickly, place them in water
and allow them to soften for about 3 hours prior to smoking. About 1 hour
before starting, place the chips in a strainer and allow them to dry.
• To create smoke quickly, fill the firebox about 1/3 full with dry wood chips
and then fill the remaining space with the softened wood chips.
1. Open the
exhaust air pipe
closure.
2. Rotate the outgoing air pipe counterclockwise and connect it to the
intake pipe of the Combisteamer.
3. Remove the cooled firebox.
4. Check whether there is anything left in the firebox or the smoker box
and, if so, dispose of it safely.
5. Measure the amount of wood chips or spices needed for the desired
smoking process.
6. Place the wood chips or spices in the firebox.
