Specifications and use of the Otto 2.0 smoker

The Otto 2.0 is a rectangular model and has a silver look. This electric smoker - with brushed stainless steel finish - stands on two legs and also has two practical wooden handles, for a cold grip and efficient use. The Otto 2.0 smoker is extremely user-friendly, which is precisely why it is so popular among a lot of smoking enthusiasts.

For fish, for example, these could be lemon smoke chips. The amount of smoke chips you need depends on how long the food needs to be smoked. The rule of thumb is: use a handful of chips per 15 minutes of smoking. You place the chips in the chip bowl of your Otto 2.0 smoker. You then slide the bowl into the smoker just above the heating element. After that, you can also slide the fat tray and the grid with the pieces of fish into the Otto 2.0 smoker.

The grid can be placed at two different heights, closer to or further away from the heat source. Try to leave enough space between each piece of fish so that the smoke can circulate optimally around the ingredients in your Otto 2.0. Once these steps have been completed, close the lid of the Otto 2.0 smoker, plug in the socket and let the smoking begin! The Otto 2.0 comes complete with grid, drip tray and tray for the smoke chips.
