OUTDOOR COOKING GUIDE

First Things First

You will find that most of the product assembly has been completed

for you at the factory. Complete any remaining steps and reference

all safety and usage information found in the Product Guide.

Just like grandma‟s cast iron skillet, the stainless steel Cooking

Chamber must be seasoned prior to use. This is most important as it

will allow the cooking chamber to work properly. In addition, it will

make cleaning easier and inhibit rusting.

Coat all interior surfaces of the cooking chamber with vegetable oil.

If you use a vegetable spray, wipe down the cooking chamber after

spraying to ensure an even coat. Turn The Big Easy on, set the Power

Level to (15), close the lid and allow it to heat until the vegetable oil

burns off and stops smoking. The shiny finish of the stainless steel

cooking chamber should now have a very dark brown or bronze color.

You are now ready to cook. The more you use your Big Easy, the

better it will cook. The darker, more-seasoned, the cooking chamber

becomes the hotter and the more evenly it will cook. A light

coat of vegetable oil before each use will keep the surfaces

seasoned and help prevent any rusting –again, just like

grandma‟s cast iron skillet.

OUTDOOR COOKING GUIDE

Setting the Power Level

Your new TRU-Infrared™Smoker & Roaster features 15 Power

Levels that make it an extremely versatile outdoor cooking

appliance. Reference the Temperature Chart to set the correct

Power Level depending on outdoor weather conditions. If you

are cooking on a colder or windy day, use a Power Level on the

higher side of the temperature range. If it‟s warm and sunny,

simply use a Power Level on the lower side of the temperature

range. Setting the correct Power Level isn‟t an exact science and

is part of the fun of outdoor cooking.

30-Minute AutoClean™ (Power Level C)

After removing your food return the cooking basket, warming

basket, and half racks to The Big Easy. Close the lid, and press

the (+) Temperature Control Button until (C) is displayed on the

Power Level Display. This will activate the AutoClean™cycle.

AutoClean™is a high-heat cycle that will burn-off most

remaining food debris and conveniently power-off The Big Easy

after 30-minutes. After the cooking accessories have cooled, they

will be ready for brushing with a standard grill brush –similar to

brushing the cooking grates of an outdoor bbq grill. Remove any

remaining food debris from the bottom of the cooking chamber

and empty the grease tray once the unit has cooled down.

If preferred, the cooking accessories can be cleaned in a

dishwasher or washed with soap and water instead of being left

inside the cooking chamber while running the AutoClean™cycle.

Preheat (Power Level 15)

Preheating is required only when using wood chips or pellets

inside the smoker box. When filling the smoker box, fill up to the

height of the top of the box. When full, the chips or pellets should

not be higher than the top of the smoker box.

Return the filled smoker box to The Big Easy, close

the lid, and set the Power Level to 15. The wood

chips or pellets will begin to smoke after

approximately 15 minutes - depending on outside

weather conditions. In cold or windy conditions, it

will take longer for the wood chips to start to smoke.

OUTDOOR COOKING GUIDE

Big Easy®Roasting (Power Levels 12-14)

Your favorite Rotisserie

Chicken recipe has never been

faster or easier. When roasting

with The Big Easy, there are

none of the hassles associated

with traditional rotisserie

cooking –no forks and spit rod

to balance or troublesome

flare-ups to control.

This is also how you can make

a delicious, safe and healthy

Southern Fried Turkey –

without all the gallons of oil to

purchase or recycle.

Big Easy®Smoking (Power Levels 9-11)

Smoking food has never been… well… easier. Instead of

charcoal or wood, The Big Easyuses the convenience of its

electric-powered TRU-Infrared™cooking system. Smoke flavor

is added using about a ½ lb. of wood chips or pellets inside the

stainless steel smoker box.

To begin, prepare the cooking basket with the

food you plan to smoke. Food can be placed

in the bottom of the cooking basket and/or

closer to the top using the cooking racks.

Food placed higher in the cooking basket will

be exposed to more smoke and will cook

slightly faster.

Real wood chips will smoke for over an hour

in the smoke box –depending on your Power

Level selection. Real wood pellets will smoke almost twice as

OUTDOOR COOKING GUIDE

long. When refilling the smoke box, leave a few burning embers

to help start the new chips or pellets smoking. If you have no

embers left or want to start will a full box of fresh chips or

pellets, simply fill no higher than the top of the smoker box and

preheat on Power Level 15 for approximately 15 minutes or until

they begin to smoke. Don‟t forget to turn the Power Level back

to the original setting. The 15 minutes of cook time at Power

Level 15 will not affect your overall cooking results.

Slow Smoking (Power Levels 4-8)

The Big Easy Electric Smoker & Roaster was designed to make

outdoor cooking faster and easier. When extra time is available,

you can enjoy cooking „slow-and-low‟. If you enjoy a stronger

smoke flavor to your foods, extending the cook time and

exposing your food to more smoke is a great way to achieve this

result.

When slow-smoking, use a 9” disposable aluminum pie pan filled

with water and/or your favorite fruit juices to help retain moisture

and add additional flavor to your food. Center the water pan in

the bottom of the cooking chamber so that the legs of the cooking

basket are outside of the pan when positioned inside the cooking

chamber.

Additional Operation Notes

Each time a button is pressed, an audible beep sounds. To

disable this feature, press and hold the Temperature Mode

Button for two seconds. To turn the audible beep back on,

press and hold the Temperature Mode Button for another two

seconds.

The control panel is designed to automatically power off after

12 hours of continuous operation.

OUTDOOR COOKING GUIDE

Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to soak the wood chips in water?

No. Soaking the wood chips in water before use will not

extend the smoking time; only lengthen the time before they

start to smoke.

2) Can I cook a frozen turkey?

No. Turkey must be completely thawed and you should

always remove the giblets, neck and anything from inside the

cavity before cooking.

3) How should I prepare poultry?

The turkey or chicken must be

completely thawed and you should

always remove the giblets, neck and

anything from inside the cavity before

cooking. Remove the metal or plastic

tie that may be used to bind the legs

together before putting the turkey in the

cooking basket. Opening the legs will

allow the turkey to cook evenly and

maintain its position inside the basket.

Always set the turkey or chicken inside

the basket with the breast up and the

legs down so that it can cook evenly.

4) Can I cook a turkey with stuffing inside?

The USDA recommends cooking stuffing separately for

optimal safety and uniform doneness. Visit

www.isitdoneyet.gov for more information on cooking

turkey safely.

OUTDOOR COOKING GUIDE

5) Can I use injectable marinades?

Absolutely. But if you are really into making it easy, simply

use a dry rub on the outside. One of our favorites to use with

turkey or chicken is a Creole seasoning with salt, red pepper,

garlic and other spices found readily at any grocery store.

Try to avoid rubs with high sugar content if you are cooking

at Big Easy Roasting Power Levels. When preparing fried

turkey or rotisserie chicken, you can rub the skin with peanut

or canola oil before using a dry rub if desired. The infrared

heat will keep your food moist and juicy on the inside.

6) How long will it take to cook?

With The Big Easy, food is done once it reaches proper

internal temperature. Always use the Digital Food

Thermometer to monitor internal temperature and remember

these USDA guidelines for proper use:

1) Insert the probe into the thickest part of

the food - not touching bone, fat or

gristle before lowering into the cook

chamber. Place the digital food

thermometer cord to the left side of the

cooking chamber before closing

lid and inserting into the Jack.

2) After cooking, check the temperature in

several places to make sure the food is evenly

heated.

3) Compare your thermometer reading to the USDA

guidelines printed inside the back cover of this guide to

determine if your food has reached a safe temperature.

4) Make sure to clean your food thermometer with hot,

soapy, water before and after each use. Do not immerse

or wash in the dishwasher.
