    "How to" question (s)

    ...and I tried using charcoal the first few times I used the smoker, and it would burn up a whole bag in just a few hours. I tried several ways to get longer burn time, but either it burned too hot too fast, or didnt burn hot enough (spreading the coal out in lines so it burns longer). So I went...

    I would guess the firebox is 1/3 of size of the smoker? Wood splits vary on size, usually I put two fairly big ones on the bottom, build the fire on top of them, and then add smaller splits or round limbs on top, but I do fill the box pretty much up.

    Hello all, I'm Keith and I'm fairly new to the smoker game. Little bout me, I'm retired after 24 years behind a badge. Most of my time was spent outside of Baltimore Md so I'm very glad to be back home and have the free time to invest. I tinkered around with a Bradley electric for a couple years...
