Cookshack Model 250/260 SmartSmoker Oven 9 Ver. 06.1
The IQ controller is equipped with two preset buttons for easy selection of common settings for popular foods.
Pressing the button marked Ribs/Chickens will make the following settings:
Cook Temp 225°F
Hold Temp 140°F
Cook Time 3 hours
Pressing the button marked Briskets will make the following settings:
Cook Temp 225°F
Hold Temp 140°F
Cook Time 12 hours
Once one of these preset buttons has been pushed you may start a cook cycle using these settings by simply
pressing Start.
The IQ controller is equipped with a power backup system to prevent your Smoker from ‘forgetting’ what it is
doing in the case of a power failure. The lQ will wait out power failures of up to 2 minutes and resume normal
cooking. This backup system means that turning off the Master Switch will not cause the IQ to forget its current
instructions. The Reset button may be used to clear these current instructions and cause the lQ to start over
from the beginning.
The IQ controller is also equipped with a door position sensor. If the oven door is open, the controller display
reads “Door Open” and the controller beeps until the door is closed. The heating elements remain off. It is
necessary for the metal guide located at the upper right corner of the oven door to press against the sensor
button located on the upper left corner of the right side of the oven. If this metal guide is bent out of position the
oven will not operate. Please contact your Cookshack Service Representative for assistance if you experience
this problem.
Recommended cooking times and temperatures are based on full loads with no holding cycle. Larger or smaller
loads or the addition of holding time may require adjustment of cooking time and temperature.
When you think the product is finished, turn the switch to the OFF position. Wait ten minutes before opening
the oven door to check the product for doneness. When the product is done to your satisfaction, remove from
the smoker.
Holding
Meat should always be wrapped or sealed immediately upon removal from your smoker, and held this way until
ready to serve.
To minimize the danger of food becoming contaminated, follow a few key steps. ‘
The most important step is hand washing. Employees can easily transmit germs to clean food if they don’t
follow basic personal hygiene. It is very important to wash after touching raw meat, fish, poultry, or dirty
utensils.
Refrigerated cases should keep food at 38°F or below. Hot display cases should keep food above 140°F
Some microorganisms, which can cause disease when present in low numbers, don’t require temperature abuse
to be dangerous. To avoid these diseases, exclude infected personnel from foodservice operations, use clean
utensils when handling food, practice clean personal hygiene, and use the proper containers when covering
food.
Remember, these are basic guidelines only and are not intended to replace laws, regulations, or restrictions
concerning the handling and processing of food products. For further information, use your local health
department guidelines to determine the best method for holding product, hot or cold.
