Customer questions & answers

Question:How do you add coals or lump coals while you are slow cooking a big peice of meat for 8 hours ? the only place I see to add coals is through top ?

Answer:I have had this grill for over a year and have done a few brisket and Boston butt roasts. I have never used any lump charcoal because I still had a load of briquette I bought on 50% off sale from Home Depot. I have never had to add charcoal for the brisket low and slow cook, 8 to 10 hours long. Set at 225 degrees it would easily go the entire cook without need to add coals. The thermal efficiency with this smoker is amazing.

Question:Is this made out of Ceramic?

Answer:No, it's double wall steel, with insulation between the walls. Much lighter than ceramic and it won't break if you drop it. I love mine.

Question:How is it in terms of smoking by itself? I saw there are a few aftermarket stones, but are they even necessary?

Answer:I have three other smokers but this is replacing them except for large smoker because it can do more volume. The acorn works great. 

Question:The cooking grate is cast iron, do I need to do anything to season it?

Answer:Yes. Take a thick slab of freshly cut onion, (some say a big slice of potato works as well) and rub it through out the grill. Do it before each session, and the grate will not stick and will look . . . eh . . . grate. The juices react to the high temps and prevent staining and sticking. One of the top chefs in Chicago swears by this. Having tried it, I use it every time I grill.

Question:How many inches wide is the cooking grate? And please don't give me some square inch answer, that doesnt help me at all.

Answer:314 sq inches / 3.14 (pi) = 100

sq root of 100 is 10. Radius is 10 inches. Diameter is 20 inches. Middle school geometry.
