Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure you

receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new smoker. We also advise to retain this manual for future reference.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS

You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to

obtain the necessary permits, permission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any smoker

being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.

1. A minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the smoker, and 305mm (12 inches)

from the back of the smoker to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible

floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by

authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must

not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your smoker in an area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Should a grease fire occur, turn the smoker off and leave the cabinet door closed until the fire is out. Do not

unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC)

approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.

2. Keep the unit and electrical supply cords away from water or other liquids. Do not use your smoker in the rain, during an

electrical or around any water source. To protect against electrical shock, use only a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If a long, detachable power supply-cord (or extension) is used,

ensure the cord rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and must be a grounded cord. Outdoor

extension cords used with outdoor products are marked with the suffix "W" and with the statement "suitable for use with

outdoor appliances." To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.

3. After a period of storage, clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If

the smoker is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to ensure that water

does not get onto the electric element. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.

Do not transport your smoker while in use or while the smoker is hot. Ensure the smoker is completely cool

to the touch before adjusting the cooking grids, adding wood chips, removing the water tray, moving, or

storing. Store unit indoors when not in use. Do not store the electric smoker with hot ashes inside unit.

Store only when all surfaces are cold.

4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts and long, sturdy cooking tools when operating the unit. Use caution

when removing food from the smoker. All surfaces are hot, and can remain hot for an extended period after use.

5. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.

This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction

by a person responsible for their safety.

6. Do not use this appliance as a heater, or for anything other than its intended purpose. This unit it not for commercial use.

ENGLISH

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-

combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by

burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

CREOSOTE

Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot

or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and

maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.

It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When

ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF,

let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.

If creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away

any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)

Burning wood chips gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor and can cause death. Do not burn wood chips

inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages or any enclosed areas. Use only outdoors where it is well ventilated.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon

monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,

nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless

gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon

monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.

• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood

or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, a factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake.

One of the best ways to cut down on fats in your diet is to use a savory method of cooking like smoking. As this electric smoker

uses wood chips for smoking, the natural wood flavor is infused into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar-based sauces.

With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your smoker and the cooking

time needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss units should keep a minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible

constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the smoker is operational. This appliance must not be placed under

overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your smoker in an area clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other

flammable vapors and liquids.

  

As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that smoking season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of

smoked foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your smoker throughout the cooler

months:

• If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.

• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your

smoker to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your smoker

in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!

• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log

This appliance will work on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended

size of 15 or 20 amp service. If your GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to

power surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation.

During the start-up phase, the element draws 200-700 watts of

electricity which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle.

Each time it trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping,

replace the outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.

IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.

or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to

help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.

• In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.

• Avoid opening the smoke cabinet door any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your internal

temperature. Be flexible with your serving time; add extra cooking time each time you open the door.

• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.

• Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey.

Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.

As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Proper dress is important when it gets really hot: shorts,

shirt, shoes, hat, apron and a generous slab of suntan lotion is recommended. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy

your smoker throughout the hot months:

• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat

from over cooking and drying out.

• Even in hot weather, keep the smoke cabinet door closed at all times.

• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up

newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

  

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match a meat thermometer. All temperatures listed below

are approximate and are affected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction

of wind, the quality of wood chips being used, the cabinet door being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.

Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing and is truly the main advantage of a smoker. There are two types of smoking: hot

smoking and cold smoking.

•

Hot smoking

, another name for

low and slow

cooking, is generally done at 82-122C / 180-250F. Hot smoking

works best when longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry.

•

Cold smoking

is when the food is located so far away from the heat source that it smokes without cooking, and at

temperatures of 15-32C / 60-90F.

TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, smoke your foods before turning up the heat to fully-cook your meats. This

allows the smoke to penetrate the meats, before the pores of the meat close at 49°C / 120°F.

The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor

chefs prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect!

Located inside the cabinet, on the rear wall along the bottom, is the temperature probe. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless

steel. The temperature probe measures the internal temperature of the unit. When the temperature is adjusted on the Control

Board, the temperature probe will read the actual temperature inside the unit and adjust to the desired temperature.

IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly affected on ambient outdoor weather and the quantity of

food being cooked.

•

 

The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat in the smoker, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the meat

probe adapter to the meat probe connection port and insert the stainless steel meat probe into the thickest portion of your

meat and the temperature will be displayed on the Control Board. To ensure the meat probe is connected properly to

the connection port, feel and hear it snap into place.

IMPORTANT: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid

direct contact with the heating element. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out

the main cabinet door, along the edge. When not in use, disconnect the meat probe(s) from connection ports, and

place aside to keep protected and clean.

Before using your smoker for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off to cure the interior and exterior

finish of your unit. Start the smoker and operate at any temperature over (177°C / 350°F) with the cabinet door closed for 30 to

40 minutes to burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.

: Curing your smoker is important for its long-term operation and care. If the burn-off is not performed, the

exterior finish will not set properly, as well as a paint odor can impart unnatural flavors onto your first prepared meal.

1. Open the cabinet door and carefully ¾ fill the water pan with water or marinade.

IMPORTANT: Do not fill completely or overfill the water pan, as this could damage your electrical element and/

or parts while the smoker is in use.

2. Adjust cooking grids and grid support brackets to desired height for the foods you intend to smoke. Once satisfied with

the height of your grids, close the cabinet door.

3. Remove the wood chip tray. Open the wood chip tray lid, add wood chips, then slide back into the front of the cabinet.

NOTE: We recommend using wood chips, not wood chunks, as wood chips are smaller and easier to fit inside the

wood chip tray.

4. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. The Power Button will glow blue to indicate there is power.

5. With the cabinet door closed, press the Power Button to turn on the unit and the Digital LCD Screen will light up,

Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance

tips to service your smoker:

1.



• A meat probe not in use should be rolled up in a large, loose coil. Kinks or folds in the wire may cause damage.

• Although both the temperature probe and meat probe are stainless steel, do not place either in the dishwasher or

submerge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe

is damaged, it should be replaced.

2.

 

• It is recommended to clean your wood chip tray after every few uses. This will ensure proper smoking of new wood

chips and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash.

• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to

do this while they are still warm from the previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on

the cooking components of the smoker. Clean the inside of your smoker on a consistent basis. In the event you

experience a grease fire, keep the cabinet door and damper vents closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not

go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the smoker off, and shut the cabinet door until the fire is completely

out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available. Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind

the type of cooking you do.

IMPORTANT: The water pan may accumulate grease. Refill and replace the water in the water pan often.

• The glass of the cabinet door is tempered and will not break with high heat; however, excessive build-up may cause

the door to not close if not cleaned regularly. Smoke and debris can be removed with frequent cleaning of the glass.

3.

 

• Wipe your smoker down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive

cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under

warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of the

finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.

• Use a cover to protect your smoker for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and

outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
