We need someone to take a cut at a "basic instruction manual".
I agree, the documentation that comes with the smoker, as well as the use of the accessories is a little lacking (like the cold smoke plate, etc.). Basic recipes and starter smokes info would be nice. As a graphic designer, I produce installation, instruction, and owner's manuals for products as part of my job. For the quality of the product, seems like it is time for a step-up with the included documentation. I
could help with making it look more professional, and more comprehensive. Increasing the cost of the smokers though, to include this, would not be good.
