Hello, I am news to the forum and new to charcoal grilling and smoking. I just bought a Brinkman offset smoker/grill from Home Depot, and I am loving it. I haven't smoked anything yet, bit I am definitely going to try it.
My name is a Matt, and I am from central Pennsylvania. I hope to learn a lot and make new friends.

I was wondering, I have some fire brick that I am not using, would it be beneficial to line the bottom of my smoke box with these?
