Never mind I never knew you had to season the smoker.

Q. How do I season my new Smoker?

A. The seasoning steps are also located in your operator's manual. The purpose of seasoning your smoker is to burn off manufacturing oils that give off bad odors and will produce distasteful flavors in the food of your first smoke if this step is skipped..

Wash / dry all the racks, drip tray, drip bowl rectangular tray and place in smoker.
Plug in smoker, turn on smoke generator, push temp slider control halfway to the right. For the digital set temperature to 150 degrees F (66 C).
Load the feeder tube with 5 bisquettes of your favorite wood (if you purchased the variety pack, I would go with "special blend) and fill the drip bowl half full of water bowl.
Press Bisquette Advance Button until a bisquette is on the burner (you will need to push the button 3 times).
Close door and open the Top Vent slightly.
Smoker should be at 150 degrees F. If the temperature is higher adjust the temperature heat control. Smoke the tower continuously until the bisquettes run out; after about one hour. Five (5) bisquettes will equal one hour of smoke - the last 2 bisquettes will not advance onto the Burner.
