Grilling Options in Smoky Beast Smokers

1. BBQ Cooking: The Smoky Beast BBQ smoker allows you to cook using firewood or grill briquettes. You can even combine both methods for optimal results. Grill briquettes provide convenience, steady temperature control, and minimal soot production. However, they may not last for the entire cooking cycle, typically around 4 hours for BBQ ribs. During BBQ cooking, water is usually added to the water tub to enhance flavor and moisture.

2. Grilling: For grilling, charcoal is used as the heat source. Simply place the charcoal directly on the charcoal tub beneath the cooking grates. Charcoal grilling is versatile and suitable for various dishes, including pizza. To enhance your grilling experience, we recommend purchasing a fire clay plate with the appropriate size and thickness, available in smoker sections of construction shops (not garden or grilling sections). A recommended size is 60303 cm.

3. Hot Smoke: Experience the rich flavors of hot smoking with the Smoky Beast Smoker. This method involves using firewood, but at a lower temperature compared to BBQ cooking. No water is added to the water tub during hot smoking. You can enhance the smoky taste by adding wet wooden chips to the fireplace.

4. Cold Smoke: The Smoky Beast Smoker also allows for cold smoking. To achieve this, a cold smoke generator needs to be placed in the cooking area, and temperature ranges must be carefully followed to avoid spoiling the raw material. Cold smoking is ideal for delicately infusing flavors into cured meats, fish, and cheeses.

Corten Steel Information

COR-TEN® Steel products seasoning instructions

You received GrillSymbol or Petteri Wiimaa product and it does not look like on the picture? Do not worry, here we advise you how to treat COR-TEN® Steel to make it look like on the pictures.

What is COR-TEN® and SSAB Weathering steel?

COR-TEN® is high strength, structural steel with exceptional weathering resistance. The chemical composition of the steel allows for the creation of a layer of rust that coats a product  without altering the mechanical characteristics of the steel. This rust layer, not only protects steel products against the elements but also delivers a unique finish that stops most people in their tracks.  What’s more, it’s also more environmentally-friendly than traditional steel.

What to do?

As brand new, COR-TEN® looks  grey  as  hot-rolled traditional steel. The surface is originally reddish-brown (resembles the colour of rusting), which becomes darker within time

There are two options how to season the surface: normal rust process or quick process.

Normal process is simple: leave your COR-TEN® product outside, rain and humidity makes it rust. We have cleaned  surfaces by solvent- means the metal surface is ready to create rust. Depends on circumstances rust appears in 1-3 weeks.

Quick process  is to spray salt suspension on the metal surfaces. You have to repeat this 5-6 times. Suspension must be weak, about one teaspoon of salt per one litre of water.  Dissolve salt in warm water and spary. No other treatment needed, rain washes salt off.

When the Cor-Ten steel gets wet and the dries out, the rust layer becomes a little thicker, while the underlying solid steel becomes thinner.

COR-TEN® steel and stains: it does stain first year when it creates rust layer. When you put COR-TEN® steel product on a wooden terrace it stains the area below the product. When move the product you can clean this area with metal brush. When it comes to stone areas  some stones absorbe all stains and COR-TEN® steel may give brown color  to stones. After the first year COR-TEN® stains very little.

COR-TEN®steel  products can be held outside 365 days a year. No internal storage needed.

Assembly & Maintenance

Assembly

Assembly and Use of the Smoky Beast BBQ-Smoker:

Pre-Commissioning

• Remove all packaging from the smoker, both around and inside.
• Install chimneys and the thermometer, securely fastening the bolts.
• Place the drawers and ash grate in their designated positions.
• Position the smoker on a solid and fireproof surface.
• Add a 1-2 kg piece of fatty meat, such as bacon or steck, onto the cooking grate.
• Ignite the fire in the fireplace (lower part of the smoker) and heat the smoker for approximately 1-2 hours, maintaining a temperature of around +120°C.
• During the first run-in, use firewood like alder, fruit trees, or oak.
• Keep the chimney dampers open to burn off any technical oils inside the smoker.
• Allow the smoker to cool down after the procedure.
• Note: It is essential not to cook with food on the first use. Burn an empty smoker as the meat used during the procedure is not edible, even for pets. Preliminary cooking is necessary to burn off technical oils and develop a protective layer of soot on the smoker walls. 

Different Tubs and Drawers and Their Purpose

1. Water Tub: The lowest tub with a smooth bottom, used for adding water to the smoker during BBQ cooking. It is removed for cleaning approximately 1-2 times a year or when charcoal ash accumulates. The water tub can be filled using a garden hose, watering can, or any container with a spout. Excess water flows out of the smoker through the overflow and into a bucket.

2. Grease Tub: Trapeze-shaped tub with a smooth middle bottom, positioned above the water tub and below the cooking grates. It collects grease during BBQ cooking, allowing it to flow into a bucket. Clean the grease tub as needed, ensuring the overflow pipe is not blocked.

3. Charcoal Drawer: Low perforated W-shaped profile drawer placed inside the water tub. Specifically used when grilling with charcoal (not for BBQ cooking). The grease tub should be moved when using the charcoal drawer.

4. Grill Briquette Tub: The smallest tub with high edges, installed in the fireplace. Fill half of the tub with grill briquettes (e.g., Weber briquettes) and light them. Place the tub in the fireplace through the door, leaving the door and chimney dampers open initially to allow the briquettes to smolder.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Interior: Use a brush to clean the cooking grates, removing any burnt particles. Before cleaning, empty the oil and water tubs by pouring out the collected liquid (grease, water). Rinse the tubs with water. It is not recommended to use any detergent for cleaning the interior parts of the smoker.

Note:

Proper maintenance and cleaning of the tubs and drawers ensure optimal performance and longevity of your smoker.

Safety

GrillSymbol products prioritize safety above all else. Each PRO-series product undergoes rigorous testing and conforms to the CE directive 2009/142/EC, as evidenced by the CE marking with the number combination CE1336-10. The thorough conformity assessment has been conducted by the reputable Inspecta Group, ensuring compliance with safety standards.

To mitigate the risk of accidental burns, all PRO-series products have been meticulously designed. The windshield side panel is constructed in a way that it does not heat up during operation, providing an additional layer of safety and protection.

The following safety tests have been successfully conducted on our products:

1. Temperature Test: During operation, the temperature of the windshield side panel remains within a safe range, not exceeding +60°C above the ambient temperature. This means that even on a typical northern summer day with an outside temperature of -20°C, the maximum temperature of the side panel would only reach +80°C. The "Triple Windshield" feature of PRO-series products ensures that accidental burns are effectively prevented.

2. Stability Test: The legs and framework of the fire pit have been engineered to provide exceptional stability. Even when the fire pit is fully loaded with food, it remains firm and steady, without any wobbling or shaking on its legs.

3. Lighting Test: The innovative "Click and Cook" feature offers a convenient and safe method of lighting the gas supply. With a simple push of the switch (standard equipment on all PRO-series products, except for the 460 models), you can effortlessly ignite the gas, ensuring a hassle-free and secure experience.

At GrillSymbol, your safety is our utmost priority. Our commitment to thorough testing and compliance guarantees that you can enjoy our products with peace of mind. For more information on our safety standards and certifications, please visit Inspecta Group's website at www.inspecta.com.
