    Gravity fed lacks smoke flavour

    Gravity fed lacks smoke flavour

    Don't mind me, I. Finding the debate interesting. At least I feel that I am not alone in thinking that getting a smoke flavour can be, at the very least tricky in a GF. I'd love to hear people's methods of getting flavour. The ash pan doesn't seem to work well for me. I did try the chute and...

    How much wood in with the charcoal? Also do you keep replacing the wood in the ash bin. Yesterday and last weekend i went through quite a bit of wood in the bin and the oke from the chimney looked good. How open do you have the chimney?
