This barbecue cooker is great for the serious backyard chef or a good competition starter. If you need more cooking area, add a 2nd Tier Grate to double your space.
Indirect heat comes from slowly burning wood or charcoal in the fire box. An ash pan and "stay open" door with positive latches make the process easy.

Usage Recommendations
For smoking, we recommend using non-petroleum based starters. Residue in the smoke from these starters can contaminate the cooking box, potentially effecting the flavor of the meat. The use of a torch or paper and kindling is most effective. Use approximately 15–20 lbs. of charcoal in the fire box to get started. Once the meat is placed in the smoker, you can add wood in the fire box for smoking. From there, you can use either wood or charcoal. Add wood or charcoal as needed to maintain the correct temperature.
For grilling, place charcoal pan in smoker below stainless steel grate and put in approximately 15 pounds of charcoal.
