Water in one pan and wood chips in the other pan. Light burner and wait until chips begin to burn and smoke. Soak wood chips in water and they will burn slower and smoke more.

Getting it to smoke is easy but it also depends on how you use it. If you are using charcoal than soak the wood chips for 30 minutes - 5 hours before smoking and then put them over top hot coals. If you are using propane then just put the wood chips in your pan above the flame and start with the flame on high until they start to smoke then turn it down before adding meet. According to some people, the best kind of smoke is one that you cannot even see and then others say if the smoker isn't billowing than you are not doing it right. I find that it works either way. Mine usually billows a lot of smoke at first and then after an hour or so tappers way down. Hope this helps Getting it to smoke is easy but it also depends on how you use it.

I don't have any problem getting smoke. I simply lay the chips in the smoke pan, which is below the water pan, and it starts to smoke when it gets to temperature. I really don't see how you could not get smoke, maybe you can give more details on how you are doing it.

hi!its easy! the charcoal/wood chip tray goes directly above the burner and directly under the water/marinade bowl. the heat from the burner heats the ceramic coated chip tray and makes the chips burn/smoke. after firing up the burner you simply open the access door on the side and put the wood chips in the wood chip tray through the access door as needed during the smoking process. be sure and close the door after each addition of chips. soaking them in water makes em last longer. i just smoke two boston buttes on the 4th of july and they were awesome. this thing is great. use it all the time. hi!its easy! the charcoal/wood chip tray goes directly above the burner and directly under the water/marinade bowl. the heat from the burner heats the ceramic coated chip tray and makes the chips burn/smoke. after firing up the burner you simply open the access door on the side and put the wood chips in the wood chip tray through the access door as needed during the smoking process. be sure and close the door after each addition of chips. soaking them in water makes em last longer. i just smoke two boston buttes on the 4th of july and they were awesome. this thing is great. use... » Read More hi!its easy! the charcoal/wood chip tray goes directly above the burner and directly under the water/marinade bowl. the heat from the burner heats the ceramic coated chip tray and makes the chips burn/smoke. after firing up the burner you simply open the access door on the side and put the wood chips in the wood chip tray through the access door as needed during the smoking process. be sure and close the door after each addition of chips. soaking them in water makes em last longer. i just smoke two boston buttes on the 4th of july and they were awesome. this thing is great. use it all the time. « Show Less

Soak your chips at least 1 hour then wrap in two packages use heavy aluminum to make packages poke four dime size holes in aluminum and place in metal bowl above fire. use two for slight smoke flavor, three for stronger flavor and four packages for strong smoke flavor.

There are several smoking methods available. 1. Attach the gas; soak some hard-wood and put it in the charcoal tray; adjust the temp to 200. 2. Get fire; put wood and water in the metal smoker bowl; adjust temp to 200. 3. Attach gas; get a BUNCH of soft wood and put it in the charcoal tray; pre-heat to, like, 350 deg; take off the lid, but on your steak, and the softwood catches on fire and smokes like CRAZY! Oh, your steak gets black, but it tastes WONDERFUL! (And then you have to pay for all those carcinogens you just ate, but you only live once!)

We tried that...not recommended as it creates the usual amount of B-B-Q smoke and vapor...it quickly filled up the room so we have since, used it outside. Works fine.

In the manner of self cleaning ovens, you turn it on, keep it closed and keep it hot until the smoke clears. It may be several minutes.

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

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

Doesn't smoke. Need to find larger fuel cans though as it uses at least 3-4 small cans each time!!

Same with mine, unless it is a sunny day. I've used towels over the top where there are gaps between the smoker and lid. That helps some, also.

it happened to me the first time. I always have it at a very low temperature on the stove and it rises slowly. I so I haven't had the problem again. I know we have the same smoker. the last time I used it I actually put it in the oven at 200 degrees and let it smoke with the cover on too.

hold the lighter to the wick for a short time. there is no flame nor is there a red glow. it will start warming up fairly quickly. if it doesn't, make sure you filled it enough and then hold a lighter under the wick longer. Also put the top back on so you can feel if it is heating up.

Very simply use bungee cords or cargo straps. I put mine in a wire wagon and pull it along with the booms fastened to the the back rail. that way I can use any vehicle I want to pull it with a cigarette plugin like a lawn tractor. works great for me..

We do not allow smoking in the house, therefore we have not tested it against this capability. I can check the instruction manual tonight but my recollection is that it will not. I hope that helped.

To cold smoke you need to reduce the heat. You can do it according to the directions, by unplugging the heat element, but I still had to add lots of snow to keep it at 80-85 degrees. This attachment allows the smoke to cool a bit before it gets into the smoke box. You can probably rig something similar, though it will be a hassle. The tube is VERY cheap, so if you get this be extremely careful when setting it up. My first time, it broke in half right out of the box, but Bradley replaced it free, and fairly quickly.

I Google whatever I'm smoking and use the temperature each sight says and adjust the temperature as i go. We've had ours for about 4 or 5 month's. The first month was rough but it's easier now. Always use temps for electric smokers.

You have to be careful that the pan does not get too hot, but it doesn't smoke. After preheating the pan, then I lower the heat to cook the food.

Not really. You have to hold down the trigger and it really doesn't provide a constant supply of smoke. I've used some smoke bottles but you have to squeeze them to get the smoke to come out.Have you considered using a little dry ice (you can usually get it at the market) and some warm water?
