Good morning and good Sunday.
I've tried "Googling" to find the answer to this, but can't seem to find anything definitive.
I've owned for about five years now an OK Joe's Longhorn Reverse Flow smoker. I love the thing, and very versatile from smoking whatever I desire to using the firebox for quick searing of steaks and burgers.
However, if I wanted to do BBQing of lots of items (the fire box is small) that don't necessarily need to be smoked low and slow for a long amount of time, like leg quarters and pork steaks, is it safe for the smoker to put lit charcoal directly in the barrel itself to cook the meats over? Or will doing so mess up the integrity of the barrel?
Appreciate yall's time.
