How to Use It

Add a modest amount of cooking-grade smoking wood as directed.

Position the box where your grill manufacturer allows it.

Preheat until the wood begins producing smoke.

Add the food and close the lid, adjusting the heat as needed.

Care tip: Empty cooled ash after use and store the box dry.
