    HELP! IS IT OK TO USE CANOLA SPRAY TO CURE MY NEW SMOKER?

    So I am supposed to use charcoal with this smoker? Another ridiculous question. So i can place some charcoal on the bottom tray and let them heat up? I thought i could just put the wood on the fire pan.

    HELP! IS IT OK TO USE CANOLA SPRAY TO CURE MY NEW SMOKER?

    I'm sorry this may be a dumb question. But when curing my propane smoker, I understand i have to run it at that temperature for some time. But when you say with thin blue smoke, you are saying i have to add some wood in this process? I read in the manual that I shouldnt use wood when curing?

    Brinkman Smoke n grill problems

    The pan on the bottom comes out but i'm not really sure how to dump the charcoal in after lighting it with the chimney. I first took the grates out and water pan then just dumped the charcoal. This just seemed awkward. There must be a better and easier way. Is there a certain way to mod it where...
