- Monitor the built-in thermometer for accurate readings.
- For cold smoking, set the burner to its lowest setting.
5.3 Using Wood Chips and Water Pan

- Paella d'aigua: Fill the water pan with water, juice, or other liquids to add moisture to your food and help regulate temperature. Monitor the water level during long cooks and refill as needed.
