Mr. Bar-B-Q SMOKERAPPBUNDLE Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Mr. Bar-B-Q user guide for smoking with wood chips and a smoker box. The guide provides detailed instructions for both gas and charcoal grills, emphasizing the importance of soaking chips before grilling and the chemical reaction that creates a 'smoke ring'. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about using these products to enhance your grilling experience.
  • How long should I soak wood chips before grilling?
    What should I do with the smoking chips before cookout?
    How do I use wood chips on a gas grill?
    What is a smoke ring?
    What woods should I avoid using for smoking?
The added moisture of soaking chips prior to grilling keeps them from igniting and
extinguishing before the flavor can be infused into food. Soak 1/4 cup of wood chips in
water for at least a half hour prior to grilling.
Tip: Place Mr. Bar-B-Q® smoking chips into a small freezer bag, add water and put
them in the freezer prior to your cookout. Better yet, prepare several bags of different
flavors. When you are ready to grill, pull them out of the freezer and use. No need to
thaw.
Gas Grill: Light the burner on one side of the grill. Preheat the grill to 450 degrees
F. Place a handful (1/4 cup) of wet wood chips into a Mr. Bar-B-Q® stainless steel
smoker box. Using protective gloves, carefully remove the cooking grids. Place the box
on top of the heat plate over the lit burner, and underneath the cooking grate. Using
gloves, replace the cooking grid. Close the grill lid and allow the box to heat until the
chips start to smoke. Adjust the grill temperature to between 225 - 300 degrees F.
Charcoal Grill: Arrange your briquettes/coals into a pyramid shape
and light. After the flame has died down, position the coals to one side of the grill. Wait
about 20 minutes until the coals are covered in white ash. Place a pan on the opposite
side of the coals and fill with water. Place wet wood chips in the smoker box and
position directly on the charcoal. Keep the top vent open and adjust the bottom vent to
maintain a grilling temperature between 200 - 300 degrees F. Mr. Bar-B-Q® wood chips
may also be placed directly on the lit charcoal when smoking.
Tip: When cooking with wood, a chemical reaction occurs when nitrogen dioxide mixes
with moisture.This reaction causes a pink coloration on the surface of the meat. This is
called a “Smoke Ring,” and is something to brag about rather than fear.
Important: Some types of wood are unsuitable or poisonous when used for grilling.
Don't use any wood from conifer trees, such as pine, fir, spruce, redwood, cedar,
cypress, etc. Also, elm, eucalyptus, sassafras, sycamore and liquid amber wood are not
suitable for smoking.
