It should have come with a recipe pamphlet, I lost mine.[:@]
The charcoal pan goes on the bottom hooks, next up is the water pan then the 2 heights for grates for smoking. If your just grilling jkust put the coal pan up higher and use only 1 grate.. Hope that helps a little .
It did come with the book but figured others here had better recipes. I did get it together and it looks correct. Now to try it out. Don't really plan to use it as a grill. Just a smoker.
I think you should try, if nothing else, some of our lake michigan coho salmon
take filets skin on. soak in a brine. about one cup of salt and one cup of brown sugarper a gallon af waterdisolved
soak for 24 hours.
don"t make a huge pile of chacoal, let get totaly white.
pile on some water soaked apple wood or peach chips.
smoke for at least 3 hours until cooked, but not dryed out
Cornish game hens same thing with the brine, but they will need more charcoal and more time
You should have saved your points. Ill bet you could have found one for sale at a local Saturday garage sale for $5.
Is it obvious yet I dont like them???
I use to (note the words 'use to') have one. I think I gave mine away. I could never get the heat to regulate. It started out hot and quickly went cold. I tried several different things and never could get anything to work.
Now, maybe since you have a users guide youll have better luck. Mine was a handme down fromthe inlaws and the book was a no-show.
I got very fed up with it. Best of luck with yours.

That pretty much says it all. As a smoker they work if you hot smoke everything , The big problem is no temp control which is the key to making smoked products like ham, sausages,bacon etc. If you just want a cooked smoked chicken, roast etc it will work fine.
I had one, personally thought it was to needy and got tired of baby sitting it so I gave it away. After that I relized maybe Icould have used it as a Dutch oven cooker or stand. Not sure if it would work or not but it at least would have had a use
Good Luck with yours!! Who knows you might be able roll out some good eats

Well thats the thing, if you want to do big things like a whole ham, or other big peice of meat, you need to have a bigger smoker. You also need to remember that if you are smoking fish, ribs, game hens,or even fryers, you don"t want a high temp. You want to cook slow and low, otherwise just put it in the oven. If your smoking a 15 lb. turkey it will take 8 to 10 hours before you even look at it. It"s always been worth it for me. Me and food,,,,we go way back.
