I'm new to smoking. (seasoned the new offset smoker but have not yet put a peice of meat on it) Is it common to use only wood (no charcoal)? If so, how much wood at a time and how seasoned should it be? Any other additional info is welcome.
Yup.... what he said. If it is a thin walled model Lowes/Home Depot smoker you will want to use charcoal.... unless you like tending to it every 30 minutes. If it is a big 1/4" plate steel smoker then it will retain heat much better and could run on wood without the constant attention.Depends on what brand it is, put up a picture if you can, I use all wood on my Lang and a charcoal base on my New Braunfels. I feel it has to do with metal thickness but others may disagree.
