HOW TO USE YOUR SMOKING GUN
• Place a small amount of wood chips(or desired smoking materials) into the
burn chamber. Note: DO NOT over fill the burn chamber. The wood chips
should just cover the mesh filter area with a thin layer.
• Press down the power switch located on the rear of the main unit, to
activate the fan.
• Use a handheld lighter or match to apply a flame to the top surface of the
wood chips. Move the flame around to ignite the entire exposed surface.
• Warning: Do not use a kitchen torch or butane torch style lighter.
• Maintain the presence of the lighter for a period of time sufficient to start
ignition only. Excessive heat may cause damage to the unit.
• Once the smoke is seen exiting the end of the hose, depress the top of the
switch to keep the fan running, allow the wood chips to smolder and direct
the smoke.
• When sufficient smoke has been generated or wood chips are
extinguished, return the switch the central position to turn the fan off.
• Use the dome for stronger smoky flavor.
• Allow the unit to cool completely after burning has completed.
• When cooled completely the burn chamber can be removed by pulling it
free of the barrel.
WARNING: The burn chamber is very hot after use. Exercise caution.
TECHNIQUES
Plastic dome
1. When smoking cooked foods, apply smoke after cooking.
2. Place food in a container, cover with plastic dome, insert tube and fill
with smoke.
3. Let food absorb smoke for 1-3 minutes and repeat 2-3 times for a
stronger smoke flavor.
Container or bag:
1. When smoking cooked foods, apply smoke after cooking.
2. Place food in a container, cover with plastic wrap, insert tube and fill
with smoke. Alternatively, place food in sealable bag, insert tube and fill
bag with smoke.
3. Let food absorb smoke for 1-3 minutes and repeat 2-3 times for a
stronger smoke flavor.

Tableside
1. Plate food for serving.
2. Hold plastic dome upside down and fill with smoke.
3. Place dome over food and let smoke absorb while serving.
4. Lift plastic dome at table in front of your guests.
Shaker
1. Prepare beverage.
2. Fill shaker with smoke, remove tube, cover with lid and shake.
TIPS
• To provide a smoky flavor and aroma for meats, fish, fruits, or vegetables
place cooked food in glass dome and inject smoke under the lid.
• To enhance the presentation of a finished dish, add a hint of smoke under
a domed plate cover.
• Use the food smoker to infuse delicate foods, such as cheeses and
vegetables, with smoky flavor and aroma without changing their texture.
• One to three minutes under smoke is generally all that is needed to infuse
foods with a smoky flavor and aroma. When using the food smoker with
the plastic dome, simply inject the smoke under the lid and let stand for a
few minutes.
• Don’t place hose directly in the food, place it just slightly above.
• Continuous smoking with food smoker is not required.
• Use wood chips that have been specifically prepared for the purpose of
smoking. Smoking chips will have been dried to the correct level and
will produce less resinous materials in the smoke output from the unit.
