designed to clean and prepare the smoker for its initial smoking.
1. Set the temperature of the smoker to MED and the time to run to two hours.
2. For first hour, remove water/wood chip box tray. DO NOT place any food in the smoker during this
procedure.

box. Allow the wood to burn for the remaining hour.
