Got this exact smoker delivered yesterday and assembled it today. Have not done the first burn yet but intend to do it tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to create this video, it was really helpful. Take care and wishing you many happy years of use with your smoker.
Wood is NOT optional. The entire point of “smoking” Meat is to coat the meat in a thick dark crust created by the smoke which is made by burning wood. Chips or pellets whichever. Pellets will smoke longer I recommend using pellets but youMUST use wood!!!! Or you are not smoking meat.
I don't remember! I want to say yes, but it's been a while. You can search the Amazon page or the manufacturer's page - they should post the manual there.
