FAQs
What type of wood chips should I use?
This smoker works with various wood chips such as hickory, mesquite, apple, or cherry for different flavor profiles. Experiment to find your preference.

Not enough smoke
Ensure you have added an adequate amount of wood chips to the smoker box. Check that the wood chips are not too wet.
