After lurking here for many months to research I finally bought my first smoker this weekend. I found an open box Masterbuild Vertical Charcaol Smoker for a price too good to pass up. I have purchased a wok to use as a charcoal pan, a thermometer to replace the stock one and will seal the doors with BGE felt depending on how it heats up.
Set up:
If anyone has one of these of the Charbroil equivalent I would love input input on your set up?
Seasoning:
Does any one have any seasoning tricks? I have oil(olive, sunflower and coconut), cooking spray and even some bacon grease what seems to work best?
First Smoke:
What is a good meat to start out with? I'd like something cheap and forgiving that I can cook for about 6 hours.
Heat:
I was given a bag of Royal Oak lump charcoal and have some pear and cherry chunks from so limbs I cut a few months ago so that will get me started. Any recommendations after that?
