How to Build a Fire for Your Smoker

Start with the firebox door, main damper and chimney damper in the open position.

This will increase airflow and speed the fire building process.

It is preferable to start with a charcoal base. Once you have a hot bed of charcoal,

close the door and place two pieces of wood onto the coal base.
