I had it burning for a few hours today and the paint is peeling on the charcoal box. i dont see any peeling on the unit itself(food side), which hopefully is a good thing. I havent done any mods yet(that will probably be next week) but i have to do some ribs this weekend.
A few questions now.
1) Is there a specific charcoal amount i should keep in at all times?
2)is there a rule of thumb how much charcoal i will need for X amount of time(i know do judge by temp of meat, just getting guestimates, nothing more).
3)when do i add wood for smoke?
4) i know wood burns hotter than charcoal, so do i add more wood when the temps start to drop?
Maybe someone can give me a how to start off with charcoal walk through. Id like to better prepare myself for tomorrow, but i will be doing a beef rib run tomorrow for sure.
Thanks for all the help. I have the SnP incase anyone didnt catch it in the header.
