Usage Recommendations
For Smoking – we recommend using non petroleum-based starters. Residue in the smoke from these starters can contaminate the cooking box with the potential to effect the flavor of the meat. The use of a torch or paper and kindling is most effective. Use approximately 15-20 lbs. of charcoal in fire box to get started. Once meat is placed in smoker, you can add wood and or charcoal in fire box for smoking. You can continue to use wood or charcoal (your choice). Add wood or charcoal as needed to maintain temperature where you want it.
For Grilling – place charcoal pan in smoker, below stainless steel grate, and put in your desired amount of charcoal, approximately 15 lbs.
