CLEANING & MAINTENANCE: Your smokehouse has been designed to give you years of trouble-free service, provided that it is properly maintained. After each use, unplug the smokehouse and allow it to cool. Do not try to clean it while it is stil hot. Wipe it down with a good cleaner or detergent. The Sausage Maker, Inc. carries a smokehouse cleaner that does a great job. Avoid scouring the surface if possible, as this will mar the finish and promote sticking in subsequent uses. If you have excessive amounts of dripping or if there is liquid in the bottom of your smokehouse, these should be cleaned up immediately. 50 SMOKER SPECIFICATION PARTS LIST: Inside Dimensions: 23 1/4 W x 21 D x 37 1/2 H Outside Dimensions: 24 1/4 W x 22 1/2 D x 54 3/4 H (with legs and chimney) Net Weight: 175 lbs.

INTRODUCTION TO SMOKING Congratulations! You have purchased a smokehouse designed, engineered and constructed by a company with 30 years experience in creating products for making homemade sausage. The materials used will give you years of trouble-free service, provided that you carefully follow the use and maintenance instructions found in this manual. Please remember that the smokehouse must always be monitored when in use. Like any piece of cooking equipment, it generates heat that, if not controlled, may lead to fires and possible injuries. SMOKING MEAT: Smoking meat can accomplish two things simultaneously: it can prepare meat for long term storage and impart unique flavor profiles depending on the ingredients and methods used. There are so many different recipes and methods that they cannot be adequately covered in this manual. We recommend that you purchase a complete book on sausage making to get the most out of the smokehouse. The most thorough text on this subject is Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing by Rytek Kutas. This book is available on our website as well as through many bookstores and some local libraries 50 LB. SMOKEHOUSE DESCRIPTION: Digitally operated. Six programs available to program your own recipe. Each program containing 9 steps for gradual raise of the smokehouse temperature. Internal probe for controlling smokehouse temperature. Meat probe for controlling internal meat temperature. Stainless steel construction. 220V power supply. TO JUMP THROUGH STEPS SCREENS Screen 1 TO EDIT A RUNNING PROGRAM Press button to enter steps editing screen.

Fully open the damper located on the top by turning the lever on the damper stack. 5. Run a program from the Run Program list - see page 18 how to run a program. 6. At 140 F -150 F place dampen sawdust in the smokehouse - do not soak it or get it too wet or it will create extra moisture that may condense on the inside of the smokehouse, if it is too dry it may create an open flame which may scorch the meat and/or damage the smokehouse. Note: If the sawdust does not ignite, follow instruction on page 18 to manually ignite the sawdust. 7. When you see smoke coming from the smokestack close the smokestack to 1/4 open.
