Determine Left or
Right Opening DoorThe
Sidekick Smoker ships with a right-
hand door opening.
If you prefer a left-hand opening
door, unfasten the 2 bolts in each
of the hinges fastened to the
Sidekick Smoker main body (Part
1). The door is designed to fit
either right-handed or left-handed.
Rotate the door and reattach the
hinges to the right side of the main
body (1) (See Fig 1).
Mounting Heat Indicator
and Logo
1. Mount Heat Indicator (13) in the top set
of holes in the door. (See Fig 2). Tighten
with the nut supplied with the Heat
Indicator.
2. Mount Sidekick Smoker Logo (14) in the
bottom set of holes in the door. Tighten
with the logo clips (E) (See Fig 2).
Mounting the Door Handle
Take the Door Handle (15) and insert into door (2) (See Fig 3 or 4). Slide the door spring (I) onto the door handle
so it rests against the door bracket. Position the Door latch (16) over the door handle until it snaps into place as
shown in Fig 3. Add a medium washer (C) before tightening with the Hex Nut (G). Ensure that the Door latch is
in the position to lock the door when the Door Handle is at the “resting position” (see Fig 3 or 4).

Heat Shield
Find the Heat Shield (10) and mount to the bottom of the
Sidekick Smoker with small bolt (A), small washer (B) and small
hex nut (F) (see Fig. 5). Do not over tighten the Heat Shield as
you may damage the porcelain finish (See Fig 3 or 4).
Vents
Using a small bolt (Part A), small washer (Part B) and small
hex nut (F) fasten the Vents (4) to the left, right and top of
the main body (See Fig 6).
Adjustable Feet
1. Take a magnetic leg (11) and screw a large nut (H) and
slide a large washer (D) 2” (50 mm) onto the magnetic
leg. Insert the magnetic leg (11) into the “L” shaped slot
in the bottom of the Sidekick Smoker (See Fig 7).
2. Add a large washer (D) onto the magnetic leg on the
inside of the Sidekick Smoker (See Fig 7). Hand tighten
a large nut (H) to secure to main body.
3. Repeat in the other 3 feet positions and adjust the
feet to the same height – approx. 2” (50 mm).
4. It is likely that the Adjustable Feet will have to be
lowered or heightened and moved along the “L” slot
for the Sidekick Smoker to fit properly on your side
burner.

Choosing Securing
Bolt Position
1. Set the Sidekick Smoker on your side burner.
Position the magnetic legs (11) on the side burner so
that the Sidekick Smoker is level. You may need a
small level for accuracy (See Fig 8). If the Sidekick
Smoker position is not level, move the magnetic legs
along the “L” slot and/or adjust the height of the legs
until the Sidekick Smoker sits level.
2. The Securing Bolt is used to secure your
Sidekick Smoker to the side shelf of your gas BBQ.
It replaces one of the magnetic legs. Some side
shelves have access in the shelf that allows the bolt
to mount through the side shelf and allow it to be
secured. If there is no access, choose a location
(preferibly to the rear of the BBQ).
Remove the Sidekick Smoker and drill
a 8 mm (5/16”) diameter hole.
Securing the Sidekick Smoker
with Securing Bolts
1. Screw a large nut (H) and slide a large
washer (D) on the securing bolt (12)
(See Fig 10 a).
2. Insert the securing bolt (12) through the
hole in the side burner shelf. Add a large nut
(H) and slide a large washer (D). Hand tighten
(see Fig. 10 b.).
3. Move the Sidekick Smoker into position
on the Sidekick by inserting the securing bolt
through the appropriate “L” shape channel.
Slide a large washer (D) and a large nut (H)
and hand tighten (see Fig. 11.). Adjust the Hex
Nuts on both ends of the securing bolt until
the Sidekick Smoker is level and secure.

VEDLIKEHOLD
Prepare smoker for use
1. Ensure your side burner is in good working order (refer to gas BBQ owners manual) and the automatic ignition
is working properly.
2. In some cases the steel grate that is positioned over your side burner must be removed to ensure proper
fit. The side burner lid must be removed to gain the necessary clearance required (refer to gas BBQ owners
manual).
3. The center of the Sidekick Smoker must be positioned directly over the center of your side burner. Measure
from the center of your side burner and ensure you have 13 cm clear to the rear and 13 cm clear to the front of
the side burner.
4. Now measure from the center of the side burner and ensure you have 16 cm clear from right side and 16 cm
clear to the left side.
5. Place the Sidekick Smoker over the side burner of your gas BBQ. Measure the distance from the top of your
side burner to the bottom of the Sidekick Smoker. Ensure there is a minimum of 5 cm from the top of the side
burner to the bottom of the Sidekick Smoker.
6. Ensure the Sidekick Smoker is level with the 4 magnetic legs making firm contact with the steel portion of
the side shelf. Remove the Sidekick Smoker and lay it on its back on a smooth non abrasive surface. Tighten
the adjustable legs using an adjustable wrench or pliers. Reposition the Sidekick Smoker over the side burner
and again ensure it is level and there is a minimum of 5 cm between the bottom of the side burner and the
Sidekick Smoker. Return the shelves, water tray and smoking tray to the Sidekick Smoker.
7. With the door of the Sidekick Smoker open, light the side burner. Once the burner is lit, close the door and
turn the latch to the locked position.
8. Allow the Sidekick Smoker to heat for approximately 15 minutes. This initial heating period is designed to burn
off any dirt or grease accumulated during manufacturing. After the initial heating period is complete, turn of
the side burner and allow the Sidekick Smoker to completely cool.
You are now ready to use your Sidekick Smoker!
Ensure the Sidekick Smoker is clear of any combustible material.
Ensure the Sidekick Smoker is away from any open windows or doors to prevent
smoke from entering your home.
Position the gas BBQ so the Sidekick Smoker is protected from the wind.
Read all safety warnings and use and care instructions
carefully before operating the Sidekick Smoker!
BEFORE USE:
“Seasoning” the Sidekick Smoker should be done before the first time you use it. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil, any kind will do, to
the inside including the grids. Turn on to medium heat and open the vents so they are 2/3 open. Leave on for 1 hour. You should not
have to “season” your Sidekick Smoker again.
To protect your Sidekick Smoker from rust, cover the unit when not in use. Always ensure the Sidekick Smoker has adequately
cooled before covering.
CLEANING
To clean the grids wait until they are cool to the touch, than wipe with paper towels to remove excess build-up. To further clean them
place warm soapy water and gently wash. Do not place in dishwasher or oven.
After each use when the trays are cool to the touch remove them and clean out the ashes and water tray. Always ensure that ashes
are properly extinguished!

TIPS I BRUK
Tips when cooking
Cooking Time
When cooking meat or fish be sure to check their internal temperature with a food thermometer! The food thermometer should be
placed in the thickest part of the food away from bone, fat and gristle. When touching the thermometer use an oven mitt because it
can get hot! Don’t forget to clean the thermometer in hot soapy water after every use!
Smoking:
The Sidekick Smoker lets you easily add a wonderful smokey flavour to your dishes. In minutes you
can transform a dull pork chop, roast or filet of salmon to a deliscious meal. During hot smoking you
exose your ingredients to both smoke and heat by using quality smoke chips and water. Smoking is
nice way of adding flavour to your food as well as preserving it.
Roasting:
Turn you side burner into an outdoor oven. The Sidekick Smoker precise temperature control gives
you the same oppurtunities you have with a stove and works perfectly as a “slow cooker”.
Baking:
The Sidekick Smoker provides terrific consistent heating temperatures to deliver the perfect
cooking environment. It works great whether you are making a New York Cheesecake or cornbread
muffins.
Steaming:
The Sidekick Smoke provides good peak heating temperatures to deliver an intense steam
effect when quick cooking vegetables or shellfish. It is also perfect if you are preheating
spareribs before grilling them on low temperature.
Warming:
The best solution when cooking for a crowd! The Sidekick Smoker will keep everything warm and
its damp air control system prevents food from drying out. Keep your ribs, roasts and hotdogs juicy
and warm your plates before serving.
The Sidekick Smoker lets you prepare your food in 5 different ways!
