Pro-tip: We recommend adding in the Charcoal Pan Insert as an upgrade, it will turn this offset BBQ smoker into a charcoal BBQ grill.
Please note: The standard firebox included with this smoker will eventually need a paint touch up, especially if used at high temperatures. We recommend upgrading to an insulated firebox to avoid having to touch up paint.
For smoking: We recommend using nonpetroleum based starters. Residue in the smoke from these starters can contaminate the cooking box with the potential to affect 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 the BBQ firebox to get started. Once the meat is placed in the smoker, you can add wood and or charcoal in the firebox for smoking. You can continue to use wood or charcoal (your choice). Add wood or charcoal as needed to maintain the temperature where you want it.
For Grilling: Purchase the charcoal pan insert as an upgrade. Then place your charcoal pan in the smoker, below stainless steel grate, and put in your desired amount of charcoal for grilling. The charcoal pan insert holds 15 lbs of bbq charcoal.
