Try this .... http://www.ishop.co.uk/customer_docs...sh/smoker.html

I had the same problem with mine though it was a named, well known brand (not Snowbee!)

PS- the next bit of fun is packing it all away so that it does not warp the lid!

What sort is it?

The smoker is not branded, it is a vertical box, just not sure what goes where. I know I can use electric element,not sure about gas ring though,or whether I can use charcoal.

Oh right! Never seen one of those ones ......

Maybe a post in the general sea fishing forum would be better .... I do not think that so many people look here?

Which model number is it in the Askari Catalogue?

Did you buy it from the German Askari Website or the UK Askari Website? If you bought from the UK, I think it is reasonable for Askari to provide English language instructions.

I do not see any instructions on the Askari Website. If you had the German instructions in Electronic Form (PDF, etc.) then I could use an Electronic Translation programme to make a rough translation and then tidy it up.

I am thinking of buying a smoker from Askari sometime, so am interested in which one you have and your experiences of it (once you get sorted out).

I bought it from the English catalogue, product no 067905.35.376. The instructions were printed on a4 sheet of paper. I have a rough idea how to use but not to sure about the use of gas ring which I would prefer. Here are some pics.

In your bottom tray have afew containers of *METHS* mibi afew almost deep jam jar lids.Then on your second tray make sure there is about 3 quaters of an inch of sawdust evenly spread in a layer across the bottom of the tray.Then put your fish in,Light your meths and leave it for afew hours.Go back take your fish out.You can then pate your fish eats it liek it is or freeze it for later use!!

Not a good idea to have it your lounge though!

Have a look at fish smokers on the 2nd page of threads.

I'm sure if you contact some of the guys who posted replies, they would be able to help you.
