Hi guys I purchased a char broil fire box smoker this last weekend. After reading review here I wish I would have opted for a more expensive one as this one has terrible input from people on forums like this. Any way I can't take it back now as it's put together ect.. I think it will be OK since I am so new to smoking meats. Home Depot sells flavored charcoal and chunks of flavored wood. Is this the best/easiest thing to use for this? I have read many how-to guides on here and see most people use charcoal and throw the wood pieces on after the charcoal starts up. Anyways is this flavored charcoal and flavored wood from home depot an OK thing to use for a beginner? I am in southern California and can't find any BBQ stores around here that would specialize in things like this. Secondly can you suggest a piece of meat that's easy for a beginner to learn? I was thinking tri-tip roast or boneless chuck roast. Lastly I see lots of seasonings and things available online but I will not be able to order and receive them today as I want to smoke today. Can you recommend something I can buy in a major grocery store to use? Thanks guys
