Nothing is observed. That is, all of the light is absorbed by the block,
and the region of space where the block is appears black. What you
see looks like a black block.

For cooking smoked chicken I use a smoker. This is a "stack" cooker. At the bottom is the charcoal pan. Above that is the water pan. Immediately above the water pan is the grill. The top is a high dome shaped cover. A full pan of charcoal is used, about 3 pounds. The water pan is filled with about 2 quarts of water. A block of dried wood, either hickory or mesquite, makes the smoke. The wood block is soaked in water for about 2 hours. The chicken is rubbed with oil (butter, peanut, olive, etc.) and seasonings. The charcoal is lit with about 1 cup of charcoal lighter fluid poured into the center of the charcoal pan. This allows the charcoal to burn from the center to the edge and extends the life of the fire and ensures a slow roasting process. To cook, light the charcoal and wait for all the flames to die away. Then place the wet block of wood in the charcoal pan and assemble the stack. Wait about 4-6 hours depending on the size of the chicken. The size of the wood block will determine how smokey the chicken will taste. Start with a small block about 1 to 1.5 inches on a side.
