HEAT SOURCES
CHARCOAL
Use 50%–70% of the cavity volume full with about 100 charcoal pieces. This will allow for good airflow, heat control, room for ash drop and a safe clearance from grill grate. Charcoal Briquettes
CHARCOAL AROMATICS & SMOKING BLENDS:
- Rosemary sprigs (quick flare aromatics), Thyme bundles, Sage leaves, Bay leaves (very subtle, ceremonial feel)
- Almond shell smoke (subtle sweetness), Coconut husk smoke (tropical BBQ vibe), Corn cob smoking fuel (light sweet smoke)
- Liquid-soaked wood/oak/barrel chips
WOOD CHUNKS
Use 60% of the cavity volume full of charcoal and add about 6-12 smoking wood chunk pieces. Wood chunks on top of charcoal or embers. Great for adding flavor such as: hickory, oak, apple, etc. It is not a standalone fuel, but a strong enhancer.
FIREWOOD
Use 60% of the cavity volume ( About 15–18 firewood pieces) for producing a higher flame and smoke flavor.
WOOD AROMATICS & SMOKING BLENDS:
- Hickory wood: Strong, bacon-like smoke. Great for beef, ribs, heavy meats
- Oak wood: Classic BBQ smoke flavor. Very balanced, universal use
- Apple wood: Light, slightly sweet smoke. Great for chicken, pork
- Cherry wood: Sweet aroma + slightly reddish tint on meat
- Mesquite wood: Intense, fast smoke. Best in small amounts
