With your <strong data-start=\"315\" data-end=\"342\">Flare Outdoor Fireplace<\/strong>, you can smoke meat while staying warm, hanging out with friends, and enjoying the ambience of the fire.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"590\">In this article, we\u2019ll walk you through how to use your Flare Fire smoker, set it up correctly, and get perfectly smoked meat every time.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"629\">Step 1: Prepare Your Smoker<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"631\" data-end=\"834\">Your Flare Fire comes with a <strong data-start=\"660\" data-end=\"695\">fully integrated cooking system<\/strong>. Our smoker accessory moves up and down in the chimney, with fully perforated trays that let smoke circulate evenly around your meat.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1170\">\n<li data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1023\">\n<p data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"1023\"><strong data-start=\"838\" data-end=\"856\">Tray capacity:<\/strong> Each smoker cage comes with two trays. They can fit up to six small steaks or three large steaks. The bottom tray also works as a cooking surface.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1170\">\n<p data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1170\"><strong data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1048\">Adjustable height:<\/strong> You can also raise or lower the smoker trays to control heat. If your fire is running hot, double-stacking trays helps reduce direct heat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1204\">Step 2: Load Your Meat<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1449\">Slide your steaks, ribs, or roasts into the trays. Once loaded, hang the smoker cage in the chimney using the rope system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1524\">The Flare smoker has two ropes:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1680\">\n<li data-start=\"1526\" data-end=\"1601\">\n<p data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1601\"><strong data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1551\">Smoker height rope<\/strong> \u2013 adjusts how close your meat sits to the heat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1680\">\n<p data-start=\"1605\" data-end=\"1680\"><strong data-start=\"1605\" data-end=\"1622\">Dampener rope<\/strong> \u2013 controls the amount of smoke and cooking temperature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1818\">Step 3: Maintain Your Fire<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1820\" data-end=\"2135\">For the best results, use <strong data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"1865\">dry and clean wood.<\/strong> Keep an eye on your meat with a probe, just like a traditional smoker. Unlike pellet smokers, this isn\u2019t completely hands-off; you\u2019ll need to manage the wood and heat, but the reward is <strong data-start=\"2074\" data-end=\"2096\">rich, smoky flavour<\/strong> with all the fun of an outdoor fire.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2142\" data-end=\"2175\">Step 4: Enjoy the Experience<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2383\">The beauty of the Flare Fire smoker is that you don\u2019t have to be stuck in the dark waiting on your meat. You can stay warm, enjoy a drink, and hang out with friends while your dinner smokes to perfection.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2390\" data-end=\"2430\">Final Tips for Perfect Smoked Meat<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2654\">\n<li data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2481\">\n<p data-start=\"2434\" data-end=\"2481\">Use small, dry hardwood for consistent smoke.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2482\" data-end=\"2534\">\n<p data-start=\"2484\" data-end=\"2534\">Adjust tray height and dampener to control heat and smoke.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2535\" data-end=\"2586\">\n<p data-start=\"2537\" data-end=\"2586\">Keep a probe handy to monitor meat temperature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2654\">\n<p data-start=\"2589\" data-end=\"2654\">Don\u2019t rush, smoking is all about patience and enjoying the fire.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2656\" data-end=\"2837\">Smoking meat on your Flare Fire isn\u2019t just cooking, it\u2019s an experience. <strong data-start=\"2727\" data-end=\"2835\">Fire, food, friends, and family all gathered together around the warmth of the flames. That\u2019s the magic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2839\" data-end=\"2931\">So grab your favourite cuts, fire up your Flare, and start smoking meat like a pro tonight!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Master Outdoor Smoking: How to Use a Smoker on Your Outdoor Fireplace Smoking meat on a traditional smoker often means standing over hot coals, constantly checking your fire, and missing out on the social side of outdoor cooking.
