New guy from EU

Hi Everybody

My name is Carlos, I split my time between London, UK and the Azores, PT

I just bought me a grill thats ( supposedly ) made in the same chinese factory as the Char Griller 5050, dimensions are the same (even takes the same cover) but does have some interesting bits I likes, the smoker box looks to be better fitter to the grill and overall a little sturdier, will be using it in the Azores for the occasional BBQ and Smoke

I joined because all my experience is mostly with Gas grills, and I wish to learn more on how to cook with coal/wood and smoke :)

Here is the new Grill, in all honestly I still have it in the box and will be setting it up soon

wood and charcoal.

If they don't stop by here soon, jump right out into the forums

Welcome Carlos.

I hope you will share some authentic Portuguese recipes with us.

Thanks everybody 

The first how-to I am looking for is how (when) to use the coal pan risers, I see this unit allows you to raise or lower the pan with the coals so they are closer or further down from what you are cooking, looking for somewhere I can learn how to use it efficiently ... yes, i'm that green with coal and smoke !
