I'm new to smoking. My grill didn't come with instructions for use. Does anyone know where I could find some instructions or tips?

its designed to use the bisquettes. there are apple, hickory bisquettes. its the only way to get the smoke otherwise you will be opening it all the time to add smoke to it and looseing the heat and smoke at the same time.

I don't know what you're supposed to do, since I've lost the instructions. But here's what I do: I load it up with pellets, sometimes with small chips mixed in. I put it down horizontally, and use a propane torch for ten seconds or so to start it, on the open end. Sometimes I'm too enthusiastic with the torch, and it starts emitting flames. In this case I try to blow the fire out, which often doesn't work, so I give it a small spray of water. After that, it almost always stays lit by itself until the pellets are consumed (2-3 hours), emitting ridiculous amounts of smoke. I suppose it helps that it's inside a grill, where it's between 250 and 400 degrees most of the time.Hope this helps! I don't know what you're supposed to do, since I've lost the instructions.

Did you soak the wood chips in water? I've used this on our 3-burner gas grill and it took a little trial and error to get the right temp and smoke. I soaked the chips (for at least an hour), packed the box, and placed it between the left 2 burners on med-low setting (low wasn't hot enough to create smoke). I smoked salmon on the right side of the grill over the unheated burner. I propped the grill lid open about 1-2 inches with a block of wood to keep the temp between 190-220 degrees.

Mine didn't come with instructions either. I went on YouTube and looked up some videos. It helped a whole lot.

Mine came with instructions. Try contacting the company or checking out their web site.

The stock tip that comes with the regular zippo butane worked for me. Make sure to fully discharge the lighter with a pen or other pointy tip first. Good luck

Surprised to hear it didn't have instructions. I love mine and got some good tips from the videos on the LEM website. The best one that helped me is rolling your ground beef into small logs that allows you to drop them into the tube. It makes loading much easier. Go on YouTube to get other ideas.

Just start using it. It will become seasoned with use. Do not wet it, to clean - just let it heat for 10 mins. and brush with grill brush. We make our pizza on the grill and they are the best!

Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook. I wonder what would happen if you heated it up again (with good ventilation so your smoke alarm doesn't go off!). Maybe it would burn off like what you'd do with your gas grill. It might even help to brush some cooking oil on the remnants to help them burn/flake off. Otherwise I guess you can try just scraping with something that won't scratch it too much; maybe try wetting the grills a little by placing some wet cloths on them (since you can't actually soak them); then either scrape or see if it will cook off once the burnt stuff is softer. Good luck. I hope I'll be able to see a response that states how you made out. Hmmm. Mine is pretty well seasoned so nothing really sticks even when I overcook.

Wood chunks work better. A Weber potholder, A good SMOKING cookbook. My husband and I just got the Weber Smokey Mountain, and we love it. We bought lots of cheaper smokers, but none compare to this one!!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!!

Tomorrow my son n law will be using his Kettle as a smoker and be using some wood, not sure how all wood will work. Are you going to smoke or grill using wood?Question for you, what do you cover your Smoker with? I can not find a cover for this monster. Thanks Don

I don't know you have to ask the place you are buying it from. Love our smoker...made smoke turkey and it was the best.. if you need any help on how to use it please ask us ,we've had on for 35 years.of course we had to replace one or two but they last pretty long. I'll check it out and see if it's the one we have...it's stainless steel. And an electric water smoker that you put chips in. MMMMMM yum.

I don't worry about the build-up inside the smoker since I don't do any fish in it...and if I did, the residue would have to be bad enough to drop onto my cooking foods before I'd clean it. The grates-I usually bring my smoker to a little higher temp than I'll cook at & let the grates get hot, then just clean them off with a grill brush. It's actually pretty low-maint cooking once you get the hang of it.

As far as I know we did not receive an instruction booklet. We did figure out ourselves how to use it. We did put a plastic bag inside to make clean-up easy. The charcoal filter keeps it from smelling.

sorry, I have this Foreman grill but not sure where to get instructions for it.
