Prior to your first use of the Brinkmann Trailmaster, follow the in struc tions below
carefully to cure your smoker. Curing your smoker will minimize damage to the exterior
finish as well as rid the smoker of paint odor that can impart unnatural flavors to the
first meal prepared on your Trailmaster Vertical Smoker.
IMPORTANT: To protect your smoker from excessive rust, the unit must
be properly cured and covered at all times when not
in use. A cover for your Trailmaster may be ordered
directly from Brinkmann by calling 800-468-5252.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the smoker including cooking grills with vegetable
oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat charcoal pan.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal and/or
wood as fuel in the smoker (see "Adding Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" section of
this manual).
NOTE: We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid or a charcoal chimney starter.
WARNING: DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids, material or charcoal
that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid under or around the smoker.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warn ings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5 pounds of charcoal in
charcoal pan. This should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process
has been completed.
Notice: To avoid heat damage to the paint, do not use more than 5 pounds of
charcoal/wood in the firebox. Light the charcoal with the lid open and do not close
the lid until the flames have gone out (5-10 minutes). When cooking, adjust air
shutter to minimize flames in the firebox. Closing the air shutter will lower the flames
and cooking temperature.
Step 3
With cooking chamber door open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow
to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When charcoal is
burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of charcoal pan.
