The Steam-N-Chips Smoker cooks with both We b e r
FireSpice Wood Chips and Chunks. For best results with
faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc.,
we recommend using the FireSpice Chips because they
ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods
such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend
using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite slowly and
provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain
experience in using your Steam-N-Chips Smoker, we
encourage you to experiment with different combinations of
FireSpice Chips and Chunks to find the smoke flavor that
best suits your taste.
To use the Steam-N-Chips Smoker
As a starting point, place a handful of FireSpice Chips or a
few FireSpice Chunks in the bottom of the smoker body.
Figure 4. Since the chunks vary in size, place as many as
you can in the smoker allowing room for the water pan. A s
you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the
amount of wood to suit your taste. Fill water pan, place it in
the smoker and close the smoker lid.
Light the barbecue and preheat with all burners on HIGH,
lid down, for 10 minutes or until the thermometer registers
500°F - 550°F. Adjust the burners for cooking; MM or LL
will be your best settings for long duration smoking. Smoke
will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as
45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill the
smoker with FireSpice Chips and/or Chunks and refill the
water pan with water. The Steam-N-Chips Smoker may be
used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and fish recipes
in the gas barbecue cookbook. Cook with the lid down
according to the times indicated in charts or recipes.
Note - After refilling smoke r, smoke will take about 10 to
15 minutes to start again.
Cleaning the Steam-N-Chips Smoker
Before each use, empty the Steam-N-Chips Smoker of
ash to allow proper air flow.
Note - Smoking will leave a "smoke" residue on the
s u r face of the smoke r. This residue cannot be remove d
and will not affect the function of the Steam-N-Chips
S m o ke r. To a lesser degree a "smoke" residue will
a c c u mulate on the inside of your Weber Gas Barbecue.
This residue need not be removed and will not adve r s e l y
a f fect the function of your Weber Gas Barbecue.
DA N G E R
Do not use any flammable fluid in the
Steam-N-Chips Smoker to ignite the wo o d .
This will cause serious bodily injury.
