My name is Stephanie and have been smoking on a gas master forge for almost a year and had great success. A friend bought us a charcoal brickmann smoke n pit with a side firebox.

I have never used and type of charcoal grill in past. I have been reading about them and came up with few questions:
1. How much charcoal do I need to put in firebox? And in the charcoal tray in cooking chamber?
2. Do I need to make a chimney of charcoal?
3. It came with grills for firebox, what would be cooked on there versus in the cooking chamber?
4. Any additional info would be awesome!!!!!

I love this forum!

Stephanie

Hello.  The first thing we need to know is what smoker you now have.  Pictures also help as does your location.

That was my first smoker and I still love it!  It has now been retired as a herb garden, but it produced some mighty amazing Q!

Welcome and can't wait to see some of your Q-vue!!
