################## Using Your Smoker

Temperature cannot be set above 275˚F (135˚C). This smoker is designed for• low temperature (200˚F – 225˚F) slow cooking. It is not intended to be used as an oven.

Wood pellet feeder must be completely sealed on the outside of the smoker,• and wood pellet tray must be in place while cooking. Improper loading may cause wood pellets to catch fire.

Wood pellets are essential to generate smoke and give the meat a pleasant• smoky flavor. Moderation in the use of wood pellets is advised. Too much smoke will give meats smoked an unpleasant creosote flavor. While learning to smoke, it is better to underestimate the amount of smoke required.

Your smoker will produce an abundance of smoke. This is normal.• Over time, discoloration on the interior surface of the smoker will occur.•

This is normal. Periodically check grease trap, and empty when necessary.•

Smoker door should stay closed throughout the cooking process. Open the• door only when truly required. Once open, close your smoker door as soon as possible. Leaving the door open for an extended period of time will result in the rapid loss of heat and may cause smoking wood pellets to catch fire.

Cleaning Your Smoker Always unplug smoker and allow ample time to cool before cleaning and•

storing. For cooking racks, water pan, and drip pan, use a mild dish soap. Rinse• soapy residue off well and dry thoroughly. Clean wood pellet tray and wood pellet feeder before every use to remove• residual ash buildup.

For exterior and interior of smoker, wipe down with a damp cloth (soap or• chemicals should not be used). Be sure to clean the door seal and inside seam. Dry thoroughly prior to storage.

Do not use any type of steam dishwashing detergent for cleaning smoker and• smoker parts.

############# An Introduction to Your New Smoker and The Smoking Process

This pamphlet will assist anyone with limited knowledge of how to smoke foods. Also, to obtain excellent results while enjoying your new smoker, and while learning the basics of smoking, the traditional form of slow cook barbecue. We present the basics to assist you in getting started, while achieving great results the very first time as you gain experience cooking with your new smoker.

Over time, experience will allow you to adapt the smoking process to your preferences, and how to use your digital electric smoker. You will learn the “how to” with terrific results. Ultimately, practice and patience are necessary as smoking is more an “art” than a science; and nothing beats your own expertise and experience in personalizing the smoking process using your new electric smoker.

Barbecue: The Basics There are three variables that occur in all forms of barbecue – Heat, Smoke, and Time. The interaction of these three elements determines the barbecuing process one will utilize. Many grill masters will tell you that true barbecue must be “low” and “slow” (heat and time) so that smoke has time to enhance the flavor naturally while tenderizing the meat. Grilling, on the other hand, is a hot and fast cooking technique that occurs directly over the heat source. Indirect heat is similar to roasting, and is recommended when grilling larger pieces of meat with the grill cover down and the meat placed so as to avoid the direct heat source. When you grill steaks and hamburgers with direct heat, the cook time is often too short to infuse the meat with any smoky flavor.

Meat Smoking: The process of meat smoking is done at a lower temperature than grilling. Yet, the goal remains to cook the meat to its normal “safe temperature” but over a longer period of time, and at a lower temperature so that the meat has limited opportunity to become damaged or “overdone” when smoking at the lower temperature.

Although curing and smoking meats is an ancient form of food preservation. Today smoking is primarily utilized to enhance flavor and tenderize cuts of meat that often cook best with the low heat, slow cook method. The ability to control both time and temperature digitally with your new electric smoker takes all of the tedious steps out of the smoking process. Moreover, you will learn that the amount of “smoke” required during the process is far less than one might expect. Often, the best part of the process is to keep the door to the smoker latched and do nothing. Continually opening the smoker is completely unnecessary. Once every hour or two over a long smoker process should be more than enough. Smoke emanating from your smoker for hours and hours will probably produce a creosote flavor so strong as to be inedible.

############# Preparation of Your Smoker

################ Preparation of Meats for Smoking

The USDA recommends following normal sanitary procedures when preparing raw products for smoking.

Before You Smoke, Brine: Curing, brining, or marinating of meats to be smoked with a salt brine was a necessary step when smoking was primarily a form of food preservation. Today, although hot smoking does not require curing in order to preserve the food, there are other reasons for brining foods, including flavor infusion (brines can be flavored to individual taste with sugars, wines, herbs and spices). Additionally, we no longer have to soak the product covered in brine. We, as well as others, offer flavor injectors which will allow you to inject brines or marinades directly deep inside the meat to be smoked. These brines not only impart their own flavor, but moisturize and complement smoke flavors while also inhibiting bacterial spoilage. You can also utilize marinades to flavor and tenderize large cuts of meat from both the inside and outside, and through addition of the marinade prior to injection deep inside the meat. Use tenderizers as a rub, then bag and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. You can also, place a little marinade in the bag so that the meat is marinated and tenderized from both the inside and the outside.

Using Rubs for Additional Flavor: After the brining or marinating process is completed, certainly with ribs, you may wish to use a rub such as our Cajun Injector® Quick Shake® Cajun Shake® seasoning to add additional flavor. During smoking, the rubs lose some of their flavor in the presence of heat. You can apply liberally when working into the surface of the meat. Be sure to utilize vegetable oil, or a basting spray, some folks even recommend prepared mustard, to provide a sticky surface for the rub to adhere to.

Add the Smoke Source Last: First, be sure the smoker is clean. Then place your “ready to be smoked meat” in your electric smoker. Add liquid of choice to the drip pan. Close door, and set time and temperature digitally. Then add the wood source. Do not waste the smoke. Never wait to see the smoke before placing your meat in the smoker. Do not open the smoker during the first hour of the smoking process. Let the smoke do its work, and do not worry if there is no smoke later in the process. Too much smoke is bad, not good.

############# Types of Smoking

Dry Smoking: Dry smoking uses indirect heating with a low smoldering heat source to slowly cook foods while infusing a smoke flavor.

Wet Smoking: Wet smoking or water smoking is more often employed when smoking. A pan of water, fruit juices, wine, or other liquids are used to maintain moisture and tenderness throughout the smoking process.

Cold Smoking: Cold Smoking is the process of smoking food usually at tempera-

tures below 100˚ F, or below a temperature that burns or liquefies fat. Foods for cold smoking would usually be cured first – smoked bacon, hams, and smoked fish.

Hot Smoking: Hot Smoking is the process of smoking food at the same time as it

is cooked. It is the form of cooking this booklet references. Foods for hot smoking would normally be eaten soon after they are prepared. Hot smoked foods may be cured (brined) or marinated, or basted. Additionally, rubs may be used to tenderize or enhance flavor as well as to moisturize and complement smoky flavors.

True Barbecue Starts with the Smoke: Modern Smoking has evolved from ancient processes of preserving food. Today smoking is truly about flavoring and tenderizing some of the tougher cuts of meat that don’t cook well using other cooking methods into wonderfully flavored meals. What you smoke is mostly a matter of taste; but the most popular smoked items include ribs, brisket, and pork shoulder. Most forms of wild game as well as poultry and fowl produce excellent results when slow smoked. Dried jerky also benefits immensely from the Hot Smoking process.

############ Injectable Marinade Concepts and Utilization Techniques

Injectable marinades and brines possess the same characteristics as their counterparts except that they do not require product soaking in order to impart flavor; moisturize, and tenderize. Unlike marinade soaking methodologies that only penetrate about a 1/4 inch into meat surfaces, require long soak times, and contaminate expensive marinades, flavor injection infuses blended flavors deep inside the meat. Conceptually the flavor injection concept makes good sense: instant flavor, yet no waiting, no waste as marinade is injected, and no fats are required in the marinades to protect the meat surface during soaking time. Rubs, seasonings, and sauces are used to flavor the surface of the meat.

As with many culinary skills, proper technique when “flavor injecting” will result in superior results. The flavoring should be spread uniformly throughout the meat with as few punctures of the meat as possible. The flavor injector is a syringe with a needle attached to a plunger which allows the user to inject the flavoring deep into the meat.

Injecting Tips for poultry start with limiting the puncture holes and when possible separating the skin from the meat and puncturing directly into the geometric center of the meat. Carefully and slowly inject along the grain of the meat aiming the injector into the middle of the meat and reduce plunger pressure on liquid as the needle comes nearer the surface of the meat (so meat can close up behind the needle.) Do not pull the needle completely out of the puncture hole unless to reload with liquid. Use the same hole to angle into the other areas of the meat, slowing infusing flavor as the needle moves back toward the meat surface. Remember the object is to spread your injection pattern so as to get small amounts of flavor in as many places as possible. Occasionally, some of the liquid is likely to spurt out on the meat surface. Rub the flavoring over the surface of the meat and then rub and season the surface of the meat as desired.

##### Smoked Turkey

Prep. Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 30 – 40 Minutes Per lb. at 225˚F;

longer if lower temperature is utilized.

Selection: We find whether frying or smoking your turkey, smaller birds work best as this avoids under cooking deep inside and overcooking the outside. We recommend a 12-14 lb. turkey.

##################### Ingredients:

Butter Recipe Marinade 1/4 cup Vegetable oil

Cajun Injector® Quick Shake® Cajun Shake® seasoning (to taste)

Method: Allow turkey to thaw in refrigerator according to manufacturer’s directions. Once thawed, remove from packaging, remove the neck, giblets, etc. from the cavity and rinse the turkey with water and pat dry. Inject the turkey with 1.5 ounces of Cajun Injector Creole Butter Recipe Marinade or Brining Solution per pound of bird. Tie turkey legs together and brush with vegetable oil. Sprinkle liberally with Cajun Injector Quick Shake Cajun Shake seasoning. Set the Cajun Injector smoker temperature to 225˚F and allow for 35-40 minutes per pound of smoking time or until a minimum internal cooking temperature of 175˚F registers on a thermometer in the turkey’s thigh (don’t let thermometer touch the bone.). Note that dark meat takes longer to cook than White Meat. Pour the apple juice into the pan and place the turkey in the smoker. Place 1/4 cup Oak or Pecan Wood Pellets into the wood pellet chute, and ensure that no pellets remain in chute after loading. Once the pellets start to smoke, commence timing the smoking process. After the first hour, check the wings and leg segments. If any parts are browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

Smoked turkey has a different color than baked turkey (it often looks pinker.) This is normal, and is caused by the turkey meat’s reaction to the smoke. As long as the turkey registers an internal temperature of 165˚F in the breast and 175˚F in the thigh your turkey is done and completely safe to eat.

rieur du fumeur et le plateau de granulés de bois doit être bien en place pendant la cuisson. Le chargement incorrect peut entraîner l’embrasage des granulés de bois.

Les granulés de bois sont essentiels pour produire de la fumée et pour• donner à la viande un plaisant goût de fumé. Il est conseillé d’utiliser avec modération les granulés de bois. Trop de fumée peut donner à des viandes fumées une saveur désagréable de créosote. Tout en apprenant à fumer, il vaut mieux au départ sous-estimer la quantité de fumée demandée.

Il est tout à fait normal que votre fumeur produise une quantité importante• de fumée.

Il est également normal qu’avec le temps une discoloration des parois de• votre fumeur de produise.

Vérifier périodiquement la trappe de graisse de votre fumeur et vider la si• nécéssaire.

La porte du fumeur doit rester fermée durant tout le procédé de cuisson.• Ouvrez la porte seulement si c’est absolument nécéssaire. Une fois ouvert, fermer la porte du fumeur dès que possible. Laisser la porte ouverte pen dant une période prolongée peut entraîner la perte rapide de chaleur et peut causer l’embrasement des granulés de bois.
