Whether you use your vertical smoker for brisket and ribs or regularly prepare large batches of homemade jerky, sausage and snack sticks, a properly fitted cover helps keep your smoker clean, protected and ready for the next cook.

Built for Serious Vertical-Smoker Capacity

A vertical smoker uses height rather than width to provide multiple levels of cooking space.

The Navigator 3-Series includes five adjustable racks, each measuring approximately 17.5 by 12.8 inches. The smoker provides enough room to place a large foil pan on each rack, making it suitable for large batches, different foods and extended smoking sessions.

The multi-rack configuration is especially useful for:

• Homemade beef jerky

• Deer, moose and venison jerky

• Sausage and snack sticks

• Smoked pepperoni

• Smoked cheese

• Fish and salmon

• Chicken wings and thighs

• Racks of ribs

• Pork shoulder

• Brisket

• Smoked nuts

• Vegetables and side dishes

Racks can be repositioned or removed to create more vertical clearance for larger foods.

Excellent for Homemade Jerky

One of the best uses for a vertical smoker is preparing homemade jerky.

The wide, adjustable racks let you lay out multiple strips of meat while leaving room between the pieces for smoke and convection heat to circulate. Instead of preparing one small tray at a time, the Navigator’s five-rack design lets you process a much larger batch during the same smoking session.

The vertical cooking chamber is well suited for jerky made from:

• Beef

• Pork

• Deer

• Moose

• Elk

• Venison

• Other properly prepared wild game

For consistent results, arrange the strips in a single layer and avoid overlapping the meat. Follow the seasoning manufacturer’s curing, refrigeration, temperature and food-safety directions.

Great for Sausage and Snack Sticks

A vertical smoker is also a practical option for smoking sausage, pepperoni and snack sticks.

The tall cooking cabinet gives you flexibility to use the adjustable racks or compatible hanging accessories, depending on the product and smoker configuration.

Use the Navigator for:

• Fresh smoked sausage

• Garlic sausage

• Farmer sausage

• Summer sausage

• Pepperoni

• Snack sticks

• Wild-game sausage

• Smoked kielbasa

The upright chamber allows heat and smoke to move around the food while the cabinet-style door provides convenient access.

Always use recipes, cures, temperatures and processes designed specifically for the sausage or preserved meat being prepared.

Five Adjustable Cooking Racks

The five-rack design lets you configure the cooking chamber for each recipe.

Keep all five racks installed for jerky, wings, sausages, vegetables and smaller foods. Remove one or more racks when you need additional room for brisket, pork shoulders, whole poultry or tall foil pans.

The adjustable layout makes it possible to:

• Prepare several pounds of jerky at once

• Cook multiple varieties of jerky in one session

• Separate spicy and mild batches

• Smoke meat on one level and side dishes on another

• Cook several racks of ribs

• Make sausage while smoking another compatible food

• Use foil pans without sacrificing the entire cooking area

Protects Against Harsh Canadian Weather

Outdoor smokers in Alberta can be exposed to rapidly changing weather.

The Navigator cover helps protect your smoker from:

• Rain and moisture

• Snow and ice

• Harsh sunlight

• UV exposure

• Wind-blown dust

• Pollen and leaves

• Accidental scratches

• Water spots

• General outdoor debris

The material is weather-resistant and provides useful protection during outdoor storage. It should not be considered completely waterproof, and the smoker should be cool and dry before the cover is installed.

Heavy-Duty Polyester with PVC Backing

The cover is made from durable polyester reinforced with a PVC backing.

This combination provides a strong outer barrier against regular outdoor exposure while remaining flexible enough to install and remove when required.

The material helps protect the smoker from cosmetic and weather-related damage, while the full-length design covers more of the cabinet than a loose or undersized universal cover.

UV Protection and Colour-Fast Stitching

Built-in UV protection helps reduce damage caused by prolonged sunlight exposure.

High-quality, colour-fast thread helps prevent colour bleeding and supports a clean appearance throughout regular outdoor use.

Covering the smoker can help protect:

• Painted exterior surfaces

• Digital controls

• Pellet-hopper components

• Door seals

• Handles

• Hardware

• Viewing-window areas

• Exterior cabinet panels

Easy to Install and Clean

Allow the smoker to cool completely before installing the cover.

Make sure the smoker is dry, then lower the cover over the top and pull it down around the cabinet. Smooth the cover into place so it sits properly around the smoker.

For routine cleaning, remove loose dust and debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and allow the cover to dry before placing it back over the smoker.

Never install the cover over a hot or warm smoker.

Cover Dimensions

Approximate cover dimensions:

• Width: 31 inches

• Depth: 27 inches

• Height: 46 inches

Confirm the model number of your smoker before ordering to ensure compatibility.
