Slow Smoking

is a method of cooking directly over a fire, for foods

such as steaks, hamburgers, and hot dogs. Cooking

temperatures for grilling ranges from approximately 350° to

550°. Due to the high temperatures and direct proximity to the

fire, this type of cooking requires close attention.

is accomplished by using indirect heat, with a

temperature range from approximately 225° to 350°. Using an

offset firebox design, only the heat and smoke flow through the

smoker chamber, cooking the food without direct contact with

the fire. This method is ideal for chicken, ribs, fish, and

vegetables.

can also be done with the offset firebox

design, using indirect heat and smoke. Similar to barbequing,

the food is placed in the smoker chamber, with the fire in the

firebox. However, slow smoking occurs in a temperature range

of approximately 140° to 225°, and requires an extended

cooking time. This type of cooking is ideal for turkey, ham, or

sausage.

With any type of live fire cooking, allow enough time to build a

fire and get the grill/smoker up to temperature.

Build a fire using either charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, or

wood chunks. Briquettes offer a very good source of heat, and

are readily available in the marketplace. Most briquettes are

manufactured using a combination of wood charcoal, coal

powder, and a processing binder. Lump charcoal is a premium

form of charcoal because it is made of only wood. Lump

charcoal burns hotter and longer than briquettes, and imparts

no chemical flavors to the food being cooked. For a more robust

smoke flavor using briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding

several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a

variety of natural flavors, and can be used alone or in addition to

charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or

nut is suitable for cooking. However, different woods have very

different tastes.

Pecan Hickory Mesquite

Apple White Oak Blackjack Oak

Peach Cherry Red Oak

Experiment with different woods to determine your personal

favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-

cut wood can turn food black, and tastes bitter.

, the following steps

should be taken to season the interior steel. This will seal the

inside surfaces with wood smoke and resin, helping to prevent

corrosion. , brush all interior surfaces with vegetable oil.

, build a small fire on the fire grate inside the firebox, being

sure not to lay coals against the walls. After the fire becomes

established, close both lids and position both dampers

approximately 1/4 open. Sustain this fire for at least 2 hours.

Prior to cooking on your grill/smoker

First

The unit is now ready for cooking!

Grilling

Position both fire grates in the smoker chamber. Build a fire on

top of the fire grates using either charcoal briquettes, lump

charcoal, or wood chunks. Keep the smoker chamber lid open,

and both dampers open, until the fire has established itself and

is ready for cooking. Spread out coals as required, insert

cooking grates, and start grilling. Remember, grilling is done

over the top of the fire. Use the dampers to regulate the fire and

heat. Open the dampers to increase temperature; close

dampers to decrease temperatures. The cooking chamber door

can remain open or closed. Refer to recipes for required

cooking times and temperatures.

Barbequing and Slow Smoking

Position both cooking grates in the smoker chamber. Position

one fire grate in the firebox. Build a fire on this fire grate using

either charcoal briquettes, lump charcoal, or wood chunks.

Keep the firebox lid open, and both dampers open until the fire

is established. Then, close the firebox lid (both lids should now

be closed) and you will begin to see smoke flow from the

smokestack. Adjust both dampers until the desired smoker

chamber temperature is achieved. Open the dampers to

increase temperature; close the dampers to decrease

temperatures. This process of adjusting the temperature can

take several minutes. Once the proper setting is obtained, only

occasional attention is required. Now, place the food in the

smoker chamber. Remember, this is indirect cooking, so the fire

is in the firebox, and the food is placed in the smoker chamber.

Keep both lids closed while cooking to prevent unnecessary

loss of heat and smoke. Refer to recipes for required cooking

times and temperatures. Add charcoal or wood chunks as

necessary to maintain the fire.

Maintenance

When finished cooking, and the unit has adequately cooled,

clean out all remaining ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which

can lead to premature rusting and decay. Periodically coating

the interior surfaces with vegetable oil will aid in the protection

of your unit. Also, occasional touch up of the exterior paint will

be required. Black, high-temperature spray paint is

recommended. Never paint the interior of the unit.
