ADDITIONAL SMOKING TIPS  
When the outside temperature is cooler than 65°F and the altitude is above 3,500  
feet, we suggest adding more cooking time. (If you are not sure the meal is  
cooked, use a meat thermometer to test meat)  
Do not lift your smoker lid during the smoking process to check food. This will  
extend you cooking time due to heat escape.  
If you are using only 1 grill rack, use the upper grill rack for better results. If you  
need to use more grill racks place the meat that requires the least cooking time  
on the top grill rack.
