✓ Installation Tips

Upon delivery, inspect all welds, hardware, and the firebox seal before first use. Season the cook chamber by coating interior surfaces with a thin layer of food-safe oil and running a low fire (225–250°F) for 2–3 hours to cure the steel and prevent rust. Position the smoker on a level, non-combustible surface with at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides. Use the dual dampers to dial in your target temperature before loading food — allow 30–45 minutes for the chamber to stabilize. For best results, use seasoned hardwood splits (oak, hickory, or cherry) and avoid green or treated wood.
