General Questions & Hints
Q: Why do I need to read the instructions?
A: Thank you for purchasing a Smokin-ItÒsmoker. We sincerely appreciate your decision and trust our smoker will
meet your expectations in both the quality of the results and the value of our product. While we understand you
may be ready to operate your new smoker, please take a few minutes to read through the instructions, as it will
serve to enhance your experience in the months and years ahead
Q: Does the smoker come assembled?
A: You will need to attach the casters on the bottom of the legs, the drip pan slides under the smoker and
attach the cord hooks to the two screws on the back of the smoker. Some models are packed with long black
bars on the top for protection during shipping, please recycle them.
Q: What is the temperature range of the smoker?
A: The smokers with analog controls have a temperature range of 100-250°F. With the analog temperature controls
it is normal to see a difference from the set point temperature to the actual internal air temperature. The smoker
uses a thermo couple to read temperature inside the smoker and has a temperature spread of +/- 30°F.
Smokers with Digital and Digital-WiFi controls have temperature range of 0-325°F and +/- 3°F
Q: What is the major difference between the analog smoker and the digital smoker?
A: With the standard analog controller you will see normal temperature swings up to +/-30°. You will see this more at
the start of the smoke due to the cold food being placed in the smoker and the smoker working to get up to
temperature. The analog controller will reach 250°F.
The digital controllers will hold the temperature within +/-3°. The digital controllers will reach 325°F. It will let you
set the temperature and the time for your smoke. The Digital-WiFi smoker will let you use your smartphone/tablet
to monitor your smoker. Please note: never place the probe under water to be cleaned. This will cause the probe
to fail and void the warranty on replacement of the probe.
Q: What type of voltage does the smoker require?
A: All smokers operate on a standard 120-volt outlet
Q: What type of heating element is in the smokers?
A: ~ Model #1 400-watt heating element
~ Model #2, #2D & #2D-WiFI 800-watt heating element
~ Model #3, #3D & #3D-WiFi 1200-watt heating element
~ Model #3.5D & #3.5D-WiFi 1300-watt heating element
~ Model #4, #4D & # 4D-WiFi 1500-watt heating element
~ Model #5D & #5D-WiFi Twin 900-watt heating elements
Q: Why are the heating elements different sizes?
A: The reason for the difference is the different sizes of the smokers. The performance is the same on all units, you
cannot place a bigger element in a different smoker.

2.
Q: What are the smokers made of?
A: 100% 18-gauge, 201 stainless steel for Model #1, all Model #2’s and all Model #3’s
100% 18-gauge, 304 stainless steel for all Model #4’s, and all Model #5’s
Q: How long is the cord on the smoker?
A: All models have a twelve-foot power cord
Q: Can I use an extension cord with my smoker?
A: DO NOT use an extension cord as it can compromise the performance of the smoker. If you do use one it must
be a heavy duty industrial cord.
Q: Is it safe to operate the smoker in any type of weather?
A: Your smoker can be used safely in rain or snow. We recommend a sheltered, well-ventilated location while in use
during bad weather. The smoker is well insulated on all sides and the door. We recommend a cover for protection
of your smoker when not in use.
Q: Where do I store my smoker?
A: The smoker should be kept in a dry location while not use. We recommend purchasing a cover to protect your
smoker when not in use. Always unplug the smoker when not in use. We do not recommend storing your
smoker outside without a cover.
Q: Why is the door so hard to close on the smoker?
A: The smoker door on all models is a compression fit, which is better for containing the smoke flavor, and is low
maintenance. A rubber gasket would need to be replaced over time. The closing will ease with time.
Q: How do I register my smoker purchase?
A: Use the link at the bottom of our website home page to register your smoker:
https://www.smokin-it.com/register.asp
Q: How do I place a probe in the smoker?
A: Use the smoke hole on top of the smoker to place a probe or thermometer probe in the smoker, do not place by
the door opening
Q: I noticed the heating element is off center?
A: It will not impact the performance of the smoker as long as the heating element is not touching the metal guard
Smoker Care & Useful Hints
Q: Where do the drippings/grease go from what you are smoking?
A: Grease or drippings will fall through to the drip pan, which is included with all models. Make sure the drain hole
located at the bottom inside of the smoker is always open and free of debris. Do not place foil on the racks as the
foil will hold heat and you will not get a correct temperature reading.
Q: How do you clean the smoker – inside?
A: Replace the foil after each use. A warm damp sponge with white vinegar can be used to wipe the inside walls of
the smoker. All racks, shelving and the drip pan are 100% stainless steel and dishwasher safe. The smoker
should never be returned to a ‘like new’ appearance, as the creosote lining inside caused by the heat and smoke
acts as a barrier against moisture and locks in the smoked flavor. A solution of white vinegar and water can be
used to clean the interior walls if necessary. It is important to not accumulate a large buildup of grease inside the
smoker as this could cause a fire. Make sure the drain hole located at the bottom inside of the smoker is always
open and free of debris. Always make sure your smoker is unplugged before cleaning. (DO NOT us a power
washer or garden hose to clean the inside of the smoker as the water force will cause damage)
Q: How do I clean the smoker – outside?
A: You can use any stainless steel cleaner to shine/clean your smoker. To remove heavy-duty stains, you can use a
course plastic scrubbing pad (non-scratching scouring pad) moving it in the same direction as the grain of the
stainless steel.
Q: How do I clean the temperature probe?
A: The temperature control probe is located on the back wall of the smoker directly above the wood box. It is a tube
approximately 4" long and 3/8" in diameter. This probe is connected directly to the temperature control
knob/digital control box on top of your smoker. You can use oven cleaner or a solution of 50% white vinegar 50%
water to clean the probe.

3.
Q: When my smoker arrived there was a scratch on top, how can this be fixed?
A: The smoker has a water base wax coating on the outside surface for protection during shipping. The finish is
temporary and will wear off in time. The wax can be removed on the top surface of the smoker by using a
stainless steel cleaner and a pad. Rub in the same direction as the grain of the stainless steel with light pressure.
Q: When my smoker arrived there where scratches inside the smoker?
A: The inside of the smoker is not finished in the same manner as the outside. Over time the inside will become
coated with a black residue from smoking which will add additional smoky flavor.
Q: Why do I have mold in my smoker?
A: The smoker should be kept cleaned after each use as well as the racks inside and the foil used should be
replaced each use. Leaving behind pieces of meat and drippings can cause mold to form.
Q: Why do I have rust on my smoker?
A: All stainless steel can rust no matter what the grade is. Use a course pad with stainless steel cleaner to remove
surface rust and be sure to rub in the same direction as the grain of the stainless steel.
Q: Why can the smoker not be used inside my home?
A: The vent hole on the top of the smoker will release small amounts of smoke as well as from around the door.
This is not recommended. Smoke is heavier during the first hour of smoking. Suitable for indoor commercial use,
smoker will require outside ventilation at a maximum of 70 CFM.
Q: Why can I not use the smoker right out of the box without seasoning it?
A: Season it the food will taste so much better. We recommend seasoning for four hours prior to use at 250°F with
one or two pieces of the sample wood.
Q: How much wood should I use when smoking food?
A: Use one or two pieces from the sample we provide as your guide. Remember the more wood you use, the
stronger the flavor will be in your food. The smoke flavor is a matter of personal taste. As you gain smoking
experience you will find the taste you prefer. All woods are different in taste. Less is better!!
Q: Why do I have smoke coming out of the smoker door and hear popping sounds inside?
A: There can be gases or moisture trapped in the wood and when heated, it will release causing a popping sound.
(This is like the popping sound you hear when you burn wood in a fireplace.) Smoke will release from the door as
well and the door will seal tighter with time.
Q: Should I preheat my smoker before use?
A: The smoke penetration is better when you start with a cold smoker and cold food
Q: What type of wood should I use in my smoker?
A: You can use any type of wood you like in the smoker as long as it has good flavoring properties. Recommended
woods are apple, cherry, hickory, sugar maple or mesquite. Make sure the wood is cut into chunks so it fits in the
wood box. If you have small pieces of wood or chips, it is recommended to place a chip screen in the wood box.
This will prevent small pieces from falling on to the heating element. Remember less wood is better than more as
you can over flavor what you are smoking. Make sure the lid is completely closed on the wood box. We do not
recommend soft woods such as pine or spruce. The hickory we provide with your purchase is approximately 1.5
ounces/block.
Q: Do I need to refill the firebox with wood during the smoke?
A: Once loaded with wood you do not need to add any additional wood. Our smokers do not have a lot of air
movement inside, so the wood will last a long time as well as retain moisture in the smoker box.
Q: What if I have pellets or small chips of wood for smoking?
A: You can use chips if you place them on a chip screen inserted in the wood box. Remember ½cup of chips equal
two ounces of wood. Do not operate the smoker without the wood box in position against the back wall of the
smoker. We recommend soaking small wood chips for thirty minutes to slow down combustion.
Q: Why do I not have to soak the wood prior to placing in the wood box?
A: Our smokers use a heating element to heat the wood, which burns it slow and creates the smoke. The heating
element is located directly under the wood box. We only recommend soaking small wood chips for thirty minutes
to slow down combustion, not the wood chunks. If at any time during your smoke process you hear a loud pop, it
is wood combustion.

4.
Q: Why do I have a small fire in my smoke box?
A: You may need to reduce the amount of wood in the wood firebox. Remember less is better! If there is a large
buildup of grease you will need to clean the inside of the smoker and the temperature probe to prevent fires.
Q: Why can I not get the wood firebox back in my smoker?
A: It will only fit in the smoker one way. The flush side should be facing the smoker door and it will slip over the
housing bracket of the heating element. (See smoker diagram on our website)
Q: Why do I not see constant smoke coming from my smoker?
A: Most of the smoke is generated during the first one to two hours of the smoking process. As the smoker and the
items inside get warm/hot not as much smoke will be produced.
Q: Should I place a pan of water in the smoker to keep the food moist?
A: Large volumes of water placed inside the smoker will affect the internal air temperature as the smoker is trying to
elevate the temperature of the mass placed inside. We suggest using our Sasha Flavor Savor for additional flavor
and moisture.
Q: How much variation does the analog rheostat have?
A: The temperature can swing +/-30°F either way from the set point. This is caused by heat still being produced by
the wood box after the rheostat has been turned off. This is normal in any analog electric smoker. It is also normal
to see a difference from the temperature set point vs. the actual air temperature as the smoker is trying to raise
the temperature of the food inside the smoker. Please remember the meat acts as a heat sink and the internal air
temperature will rise as the meat temperature rises.
Q: Why does the red LED light not stay on constantly?
A: The LED light only comes on when the heating element is on and calling for heat. It is normal to see the light
cycle on and off during smoker use. The internal air temperature can drop when the heating element shuts down
until it cycles back on again.
Q: Is the power cord attached to the smoker safe to use in the rain?
A: The power supply cord attached to the smoker is a grounded plug. Make sure the outlet you use is grounded too.
Q: Is it safe to touch the smoker while it is on?
A: The outside of the smoker is not very hot to the touch and is at a safe temperature for touch do to the insulation.
Do not touch the racks or other accessories inside the smoker without using gloves, hot pad or towel as they will
be hot.
Q: My smoker keeps tripping the GFCI?
A: GFCI outlets can be very sensitive and trip when there is not an issue, as well as the age of the outlet, also make
sure the amp capacity of the current GFCI outlet is on
§ Remove the back cover to check the electrical connections and make sure the connections are clean
§ Check the green ground wire connection screwed to the smoker box to confirm it is tight
§ Try plugging the smoker into a non-GFCI plug
§ This could also be a sign your heating element is bad
Q: What is the meat/seafood capacity of my smoker? (These are only estimates)*
A: Model #1 18 lbs.
ALL Model #2’s 31 lbs.
ALL Model #3’s 42 lbs.
ALL Model #3.5’s 60 lbs.
ALL Model #4’s 75 lbs.
ALL Model #5’s 90 lbs.
Q: What wood or temperature should I use with meat or seafood?
A: Please view our Smokin’ Times, Temps & Wood document on our website
Q: What other uses does my smoker have?
A: Use as a warmer. Set the temperature on a low setting and the smoker will maintain the temperature for long
periods of time. You can also use the smoker to slow cook any food with no wood in the wood box. We also have
a recommended list of books about smoking foods on our website.
Q: How can I get a smoke ring?
A: Smoke rings are very hard to achieve in any type of electric smoker, try using lump charcoal in the wood box

5.
Q: Where do I get recipes for my smoker?
A: We added The Lazy Q book for information and recipes to our website. Please join our customer forum
http://www.smokinitforums.com/ or follow us on Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram for great smokin’ tips and recipes
from customers. We have a list of recommended books as well on the website. Share your recipes with us!
Q: What can I smoke in my new smoker? (Times are only estimates)*
A: May we suggest:
Ribs = 4-6 hours
Whole Chicken = 4-6 hours (depending on size)
Brisket = 60-90 minutes/pound
Pork Butt or Pork Shoulder = 5-8 hours (depending on size)
Turkey = 7-9 hours (depending on size)
Ham = if cured and cooked warm in the smoker to add flavor for 1-2 hours, if fresh cook for 5-6 hours
Salmon, shrimp or scallops = 1-2 hours (and can be done on the cold smoke plate)
Also try sausage, smoked potatoes, vegetables and the cold smoke plate for cheese and salmon
The larger the mass of meat/seafood inside being smoked will increase the smoke time
*Please note it is difficult to predict a given smoker will be done at a certain time. Times may vary depending on the
outside temperature, altitude, humidity and the amount of meat being smoked. We highly recommend using a
thermometer with a probe to reach your desired internal temperature and to make sure all meats are fully cooked. It is
very important the meat does not come in contact with the fixed air temperature probe, as it will affect the temperature
readings and the performance of the smoker. Probes should be dropped through the smoke hole on the top.
Temperature Issues
Q: My smoker is not getting up to temperature OR my smoker is not working OR will not produce heat?
A: Please check the document on the website titled Heat Troubleshooting for your Analog Smoker
Make sure your smoker is unplugged prior to troubleshooting
§ Clean the temperature sensor located on the back wall of the smoker, use a solution of 50/50 water and white
vinegar
§ Make sure the temperature probe is not touching anything metal inside
§ Something may have come loose
§ Remove the back of the smoker (8 screws) and the insulation to inspect the wiring connections
§ All electrical connections slip together, except the leads going to the heating element, which are bolted
§ Inspect the power cord to confirm there is no cut or abrasion
§ When testing the internal air temp, place a probe as close as possible to the fixed probe in the smoker,
located on the back wall of the smoker and is a silver tube approximately 4” x ⅜”
§ If a smoker is loaded with food keep in mind the food will be absorbing all the BTU’s generated by the smoker
§ Using an extension cord can affect the temperature inside the smoker
Q: My smoker did not read the correct internal air temperature?
A: It is best to check temperature without any food or wood placed in the smoker. You should place your
temperature probe as close as possible to the smokers, which is located on the back wall of the smoker. This is
the 4” x ⅜” tube with a metal guard around it.
Q: My smoker did not read the correct temperature when I seasoned it?
A: What not to do while seasoning - Many of you will want to evaluate the performance of your new smoker, right
away, by inserting a temperature probe during seasoning. When the smoker is completely empty, the temperature
swings will be violent. Do not monitor temps during seasoning! Here’s why: When the box is empty there is
nothing to “absorb” and maintain the heat produced by the element. All that is in there are hard reflective
surfaces. This will cause the element to cycle differently than it will with a meat load. Once loaded with meat the
smoker will perform like it should.
Q: What does PID stand for?
A: Proportional-Integral-Derivative (controller)
Q: Where do I place the probes on a D/D-WiFi model?
A: Place both probes through the vent hole when used to measure internal meat temperature
