Functions

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging material and promotional labels from the Smoking Gunrn. Wipe the burn chamber and mesh filter with a damp cloth.

OPERATION

1. Place a small number of wood chips (or desired smoking materials) into the burn chamber.
   NOTE
   Do not overfill the burn chamber. The wood chips should just cover the mesh filter area with a thin layer.
2. Press down the power switch located on the rear of the main unit, to activate the fan at high speed. This position is designated by 2 lines = on the switch.
3. 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. For best results make sure the burning area is evenly distributed or centered.
   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.
4. Once the smoke is seen exiting the end of the hose, depress the top of the switch to maintain the fan on low speed ( designated by 1 line – ). Allow the wood chips to smolder and direct the smoke to where required (see Tips page 9).
5. When sufficient smoke has been generated or wood chips are extinguished, return the switch the central position to turn the fan off (designated by a circle 0).
6. Allow the unit to cool completely after burning has been completed
7. When cooled completely the burn chamber can be removed by pulling it free of the barrel.

NOTE

• Invert the burn chamber and tap on a solid surface to remove any remaining wood chips or ash.
• It is recommended to clean the burn chamber prior to re-assembly.

WARNING
The burn chamber is very hot after use. Exercise caution

Tips

• To provide smoke flavor and aroma for meats, fish, fruits, or vegetables after cooking, simply place the food in a covered casserole, stockpot, Dutch oven, or another covered dish/ pan and inject smoke under the lid.(See below table for smoking techniques. See recipe cards included separately for more ideas and details.)
• To enhance the presentation of a finished dish, add a hint of smoke under a domed plate cover.
• Use the Smoking Gun™ 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 Smoking Gun™ with a covered receptacle, 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 the Smoking Gun™ is NOT required.
• Ensure the unit has had sufficient time to cool before reloading and operating additional burn cycles if required
• Hickory chips impart a pungent, smoky bacon-like flavor that goes particularly well with most meats, especially pork (ham, ribs, etc.) and beef. They are good for most vegetables because they impart a strong earthy flavor.
• Applewood chips work well with poultry, game birds and pork. These woods provide a slightly sweet but denser, fruity smoke flavor.
• Use wood chips that have been specifically prepared for the purpose of smoking – these timbers will have been dried to the correct level and will produce less resinous materials in the smoke output from the unit.
