When you are cooking slowly at low temperatures, the meat will stay moist and needs little attention. The general rule for smoking times is one hour of cooking per pound of food, or for every inch of meat thickness. Place your firegrate/ashpan in a low position, and control the heat using the ashpan, and the side and smokestack dampers. Using a Charcoal Basket may help to keep the fuel confined this way. Your fuel should be on the opposite side of the grill, as far from the meat as possible. We recommend using our Drip Pan with this style of smoking, positioning it directly below the meat on one side of the grill. You can definitely still smoke with this setup, using a small amount of charcoal instead of wood.
You have a barrel-style charcoal grill, with no side smoker attached. Be careful not to exceed 300☏ in the main grill when using the Side Fire Box, as this will damage the finish on the fire box. Inversely, the more open the smokestack damper on the main grill, the more heat is allowed to escape, and the lower the temperature will be. The more the side damper on the Side Fire Box is open, the hotter the fire will be. With the door of the Side Fire Box and the hood of the grill closed, adjust your side damper and smokestack damper until the temperature in the main grill is between 180☏ and 220☏.
However, charcoal is best to start your fire, since it will catch more quickly and burns hot enough to catch your logs on fire. Wood burns lower and longer, so it is the best fuel for smoking. Start your fire with charcoal, but add the wood once the coals are lit. To extend the burn time of your wood, try wrapping it in foil, keeping the ends open. If you cannot find split logs, you can use wood chips, but we do not recommend soaking the wood in water. Remove the bark from the logs to avoid an acrid flavor. Get some split logs chopped from fruit or nut-bearing trees, such as hickory, cherry, apple, walnut, etc., and that have been cut for at least 1 year. Once that’s done, you’re ready to start the process. If you haven’t done so already, attach the Side Fire Box to your main grill ( instructions here), making sure to remove both the damper plate on the grill and the one on the fire box, so that there is nothing but open space between the two units. Congratulations! You have an optimal grill situation for smoking. You have one of our barrel grills, with a Side Fire Box attached. There are a couple ways to do it, depending on what kind of equipment you have.

Each grill is different, so whether you’re a beginner or a veteran smoker, this post might shed some light on how to smoke our way.
On the phone, we get lots of questions about how to smoke (cook indirectly) with our grills.
