Good afternoon all!!
I have a Chargriller Duo that I have the offset smoker attachment for. When I smoke, I primarily use charcoal and wood chunks. I got a cord of oak a year or 2 ago for our fireplace which ended up having a crack and was leaking fumes into the house. So no more fireplace....however I still have a cord of wood just sitting there. It is on a rack and covered. Curious if I can use this to smoke instead of the charcoal? I know it can be done, but from what I have read, it seems like it's done in the bigger smokers, mine is not that big. Figuring as long as I use smaller logs that fit in the burn chamber, I would be ok. Was thinking of smoking an 8lb pork butt. I generally use my electric smoker since it takes so long and costs waaay too much in charcoal. BUt if I can use the wood, I'll give it a whirl. Any thoughts form the pros?
Thanks!!!!
