Guys hello from India!!!
This is my first time smoking meats. I managed to fabricate an offset from an old barrel. And did my first cook a few days back. Used jackfruit wood Chunk's for it was we don't easily get hard wood chunks around. I am a bit confused on how to go about it. Would be wonderful if you could help me with the following:
-if i am planning on using charcoal as my heat source how often should I replenish with wood Chunks should it be as soon as I stop seeing smoker or can one chunk smoulder for a few hours.
-is it important to use a water pan?
- what do I do if I can't get dry wood can we smoke with green wood and if yes what are the cons of it .
- what's the best strategy to use when you need another coal bed. Do we just add more to the firebox or start with a new batch in the chimney.
Thanks in advance guys
