Best Answer

I have a vertical Mr Smoker/Brinkman style smoker that used to barely get 160-180 degrees, especially in the fall when the weather is cooler outside. I have found that you have to stoke it with wood, around 50% or half charcoal and half wood. Any type, although, not lumber, plywood, cedar, or pine, or you will add a real bad flavor to what you smoke. Wood from fruit trees is generally ok. Some charcoal has a higher content of wood in it and may produce enough heat, but generally none work well in a smoker. The natural chunk charcoal works better than briquets if you don't have access to a neighbors fruit tree.

How do you smoke fish on bbq?

Put a rub or marinade on the fish for no more than 2 hours before you put on the smoker or the fish will begin to cook from the marinade itself and become mushy. If you have a true smoker, prepare fire in the firebox so main chamber gets between 210 and 225 degrees F and place fish on foil in the main chamber for approximately 3 hours until internal temperature of the fish is 145 to 150 degrees F. Use charcoal with wood chips or chunks. I start with charcoal and then wet down hickory or pecan wood chunks and place on the charcoal after they ash over. This creates a good smoke.


The burning of charcoal is a spontaneous process yet heat must first be applied to start a charcoal why?

Burning charcoal is spontaneous, but not at room temperature. To start the combustion energy must be added (in the form of heat). Once the temperature of the charcoal reaches a certain temperature it reacts exothermically and releases heat. This heat of reaction is sufficient to locally heat more charcoal so that it burns continuously.


Cooking Safely With A Barbecue Grill Smoker?

A barbecue grill smoker can take several hours or days to smoke foods completely. The placement of any smoker that is not on an elevated frame needs to be chosen carefully before cooking begins. If a smoker comes into contact with dead plants in a yard, dry wood on a deck or lawn debris then a fire can easily start as the heat accumulates. It is usually best to place a barbecue grill smoker over heat-resistant bricks that protect the ground and surrounding area.


Why A Vertical Water Smoker Might Be The Best BBQ Smoker?

Some professional chefs and barbecue experts consider a vertical water smoker the best BBQ smoker available. This unit is different from the more common offset smoker. A vertical water smoker is basically a box that has wood, charcoal or electrical elements in the bottom. A pan of water rests above this heat source. The top of the box is a small closet-like area where meat can be set on racks or hung. The smoker keeps meat very moist over long periods of time and is very simple to use.

Controlling The Heat In Wood Smoker Grills?

The key to successfully cooking with wood smoker grills is to control the temperature inside of the grill at all times. The grill needs to stay hot enough to create smoke and to slowly cook the food. If the temperature rises too high, however, then the food will cook quickly and dry out without gaining any smoke flavor. Proper use of the vents, flues and dampers is what will control the oxygen and heat inside of the unit.
