  • Page 14: How To Use Your Smoker

    - The SmartChef system uses changing meat temperature to attain real time information about your cook which it then relays to you via the Char-Broil app. The way it learns that information is through an integrated meat probe that remains inside the meat throughout the cook.

  • Page 15: Cooking Modes

    COOKING MODES There are three different modes to cook in when using your Digital Electric Smoker: 1. Guided - Follow a guided path to choose, prepare and cook a meal. 2. Manual - Select custom parameters to run your cook.
  • Page 16 1. Guided Cook – Use this mode if you’re new to smoking, want a little guidance, or just don’t know exactly what you want to make. When you choose this mode, you will be taken through a guided process in which you will indicate specifics of what you want to cook such as type of meat, how it will be prepared, and weight of meat.
  • Page 17 To use preset cooks: 1. Place meat probe into meat you want to cook. 2. Put meat into the digital electric smoker, then plug the meat probe connector into the meat probe port. 3. Push the preset button to cycle through your options. Stop pushing when the number preset you want to run is lit up.

  • Page 18: Using The Smoking Box

    USING THE SMOKER BOX: The smoker box is what enables you to add delicious smoke flavor to your foods. Preheating To get the smoke flowing, you will need to run a preheat cycle before you put your meat in the smoker. A 45 min preheat will initiate a high temp cycle which will fire up your chips and get your smoke going.
  • Page 19 How Much Wood Should I Use? The smoker box can be filled to varied levels to accommodate short and long cooks. Use this chart to determine a rough estimate for what level you need to fill the smoke box. Please note: These numbers are just a guide.

  • Page 20: Using The Water Pan

    USING THE WATER PAN: Your Digital Electric Smoker with SmartChef comes equipped with a water pan. The water pan can be used to keep meat moist while cooking. To use, fill the water pan with warm water (cold water can bring down the temp of the smoker) to the Max Water mark and slide into place.
