Drummers,
I'm building my first drum smoker this week and I want to make sure my smoke technique is correct. I've gathered that a guy should use lump charcoal instead of briquettes, so I bought some Royal Oak. I've also gathered that I should fill my basket and then get a hand full of coals ready in the chimney to set in the middle on top. Correct so far?
My main question is, where does the wood for smoke come in? Do I just mix some chunks in with the lump?
Thanks!
