Preparing and Using Your American Gourmet Deluxe Smoker
Before cooking with your American Gourmet Deluxe Smoker, the following steps should be closely followed to both cure
the finish and season the interior steel. Failure to properly follow these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic
flavors to your first foods.
Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates with vegetable cooking oil.
1.
2. Build a small fire on the fire grate, being sure not to lay coals against the walls.
3. Close door. (Position butterfly damper and smokestack damper approximately at one quarter open.) This burn
should be sustained for at least two hours, the longer the better. Then, begin increasing temperature by opening the
butterfly damper and smokestack damper half-way and adding more charcoal. Your American Gourmet Deluxe Smoker
is now ready for use.
Rust can appear on the inside of your smoker. Maintaining a light coat of vegetable oil on interior surfaces will aid in the
protection of your unit. Exterior surfaces of smoker may need occasional touch up. We recommend the use of a
commercially available black high temperature spray paint. NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE UNIT !
GRILLING
Wood is recommended, however charcoal or a combination of both may be used as the fuel source for grilling, with the
fuel source placed and ignited on the fire grate. Do not build too large of a fire. We recommend starting a fire with no
more than 4 pounds of charcoal (approximately 60 briquets) and adding more as needed during cooking. After allowing
the fire to burn down, place the cooking grills in the smoker. Failure to read and follow instructions for lighting charcoal
may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
SMOKING AND SLOW COOKING
If using the American Gourmet Deluxe Smoker as a smoker or slow cooker, remove the cooking grill from the firebox and
build your fire on top of the fire grate in the firebox. Either charcoal or wood may be used, but wood is the recommended
fuel for it’s rate of burn and the flavor it imparts to the food being cooked. Most seasoned hardwoods are good for smoking
such as hickory, mesquite, pecan, oak, and many other fruit woods. The firebox will accommodate most split fireplace size
logs (16”). Bark should be avoided or burned off first as it contains a high acid content and imparts an acrid flavor.
After allowing the fire to burn down, close the doors and control the temperature and smoke with the dampers located on
the firebox and atop the smokestack. Smoke is contained within the chambers, which will reduce burn while imparting
more smoke flavor. Do not operate the Deluxe Smoker with temperatures exceeding 450 degrees in the smoker chamber.
Place the food in the smoker chamber and monitor the temperature. Cooking and smoking are taking place using indirect
heat. There is no need to worry about a grease fire flare-up ruining the food. Do not place food within 6” of the opening
from the firebox into the smoker chamber. A general rule of thumb for cooking is about 1 hour per pound for smoking
large cuts of meat. Refer to a cook book for specific cuts of meats. Limit the number of times you open the smoker
chamber door as this will allow heat to escape and extend the cooking time.
Grilling with Wood Chips/Wood Chunks
For a more robust smoke flavor while using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal, try adding wood chips or
several wood chunks to the fire. Wood chunks are available in a variety of natural flavors, and can be used
alone or in addition to charcoal. As a general rule, any hardwood that bears a fruit or nut is suitable for
cooking. However, different woods have very different tastes. Experiment with different woods to determine
your personal favorite, and always use well-seasoned wood. Green or fresh-cut wood can turn food black,
and tastes bitter.

COOKING TIPS
Building Your Fire
1.)
2.)
3.)
Stack charcoal briquettes or wood into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the charcoal grate
or ash pan. We recommend using 4 pounds (approximately 50 - 60 briquettes) to start your
fire, adding more as needed.
If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes with lighter fluid and let it soak in for
approximately 5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter, or other type of fire
starter, light your fire according to the manufacturer's instructions.
After allowing the lighter fluid to properly soak in, light the pile of briquettes in several
locations to ensure an even burn. Always light the fire with the grill lid open.
Leave lid open until briquettes are fully lit. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal
lighter fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing
injury.
You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of briquettes ashes over and produces a red
glow (approximately 12 – 15 minutes).
Depending on your cooking method, either leave the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly
across the charcoal grate using a long-handled poker.
4.)
5.)
6.)
*Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent injury.
Know When Your Fire is Ready
Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The general rule for knowing when your coals
are ready for grilling is to make sure that 80 percent or more of the coals are ashy gray. If you
have less than that, the coals are not ready, and if all of them are glowing red hot, the fire is
probably too hot. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the temperature of your fire:
-
-
-
-
If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which makes the fire less intense.
Raise or lower the adjustable charcoal grate.
Partially close the vents in the grill, which reduces the amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either side of a drip pan and the food over the
pan rather than directly over the coals.
-
-
In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with water from a squirt bottle. Be
careful, spraying with water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash
over before adding more.

GRILL MAINTENANCE
Frequency of cleanup is determined by how much your smoker is used. Make sure coals are completely extinguished
before cleaning inside of smoker. Inside surfaces may be cleaned with a strong solution of detergent and water applied
with a scrub brush. Thoroughly rinse with water and allow to air dry before using again.
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the grill cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces
prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
HELPFUL HINTS
• If food seems to be getting too smoky or brown before the cooking time is finished, cover it loosely with heavy duty
aluminum foil.
•Remove the ash after each use.
•Covered side dishes can be warmed in smoker chamber.
•To prevent flare-ups, brush meat lightly with oil before grilling.
•Keep a small squirt bottle of water handy for grilling flare-ups.
