Dry Wood Chips
Dry wood chips can be placed directly onto the pre-lit charcoal with or without aluminum foil.
FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW BEFORE ADDING DRY WOOD CHIPS.
The amount and type of wood used is entirely dependent on the desired amount of flavor. Refer to
the chart on the next page for tips on paring wood chips with various food types.
Step 1
Stand back and carefully open the offset lid allowing heat and steam to escape away from your face.
Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. Wood can
be added by either removing the cooking grates with flame retardant oven mitts/gloves OR using the
side pull out tray.
Step 2
Wearing flame retardant oven mitts/gloves, use long metal cooking tongs to lightly brush aside ashes
on hot coals. Use the long metal cooking tongs to add wood chips (and/or charcoal) directly onto the
charcoal, being careful not to stir-up ashes and sparks.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may
occur causing severe burns.
Allow the ashes to completely cool before reusing or cleaning the grill or smoker.
