how many briquettes are used each time you smoke ?

It depends on how much my smoke time is. I plan for about 30-45 minutes per briquette. I also prefer a stronger smoke flavor.

If you figure 1 briquette for a 1/2 you will be fine. They will last 30-45 mins each depending on your settings. I would strongly recommend buying this from amazon shipped store not mro like I did it was broke when I got it and third party took forever for refund I went down at the local store and bought no problems and it was only ten bucks more.

1 briquettes per 20 minutes. Although it has an exhaust tube to put out the window it still has some smoke coming out of it where you put the briquettes. Although it says it can be used in the house I recommend out in a garage or some place with better ventilation. It works great though; I really like it.

This smoker uses 1 per 30 mins. So the quantity used each time varies on what you are smoking. On average, my smoking time is 2.5 hours - or about 5-60briquettes.

I would stick with the briquets. It would be possible to put a pile of chips on the hot area of the smoke generator, but since briquets come in those flavors I would not chance making the mess.On my 2nd Bradley... I wore #1 out last year after 6 years of good cooking....

Sorry, I can't answer your question. We only use propane gas. However, I would assume that using briquettes could hamper the gas flow and eventually do damage to the long life of the grill. Better just to use a seasoning to enhance the flavor of grilled meats.

I usually am only using 2 or 3 racks, although I have used all six. I bought the 6 rack mostly because I have a friend with the 4 rack and he has to completely remove the rack and food to baste or season because the racks are so close together. With the larger smoker you can take a couple of racks out and have space to work. If you have to have the door open for extended time you are loosing temp. Basically, with a smoker, if you're looking you're not cooking! Happy cooking!

Depending on how dusty, pets. smokers. heavy use every 4 months light use 10-12 months. Change pre-filter at least 2 times a year. I have also sprayed a really dirty filter with Mean Green wait 15 min hosed off let dry in sun.

If you haven't already purchased this item, I suggest you look at my review. If you have, before mine fell apart, I smoked a brisket in it for 8 hours. The thing with smoking is, you're cooking on a very low heat, so it takes longer. You'll want to add more wood chips ever couple of hours. A side of salmon, depending upon thickness, would get smoked 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure to smoke skin on with fish. You'd not believe the difference!

One, if you use a chimney or just stack your charcole. Using a chimney is much faster however and would highly recommend using one.

I would venture to guess quite a few. I had 2 and only used a minimal amount .

I prefer lump charcoal such as Royal Oak. The larger pieces hold heat much better and break down slower than briquettes. Lump charcoal seems to burn the fresh wood I sometimes use at a slower rate as well. I love using my smoker and hope you have a similar experience.

From both a health standpoint and for improved flavor, you might use the hardwood briquettes. These are excellent for imparting that superior smoked flavor for which these Weber smokers are known.

I use one of those tall charcoal lighters where you put paper in the bottom and the charcoal in the top. It acts as a chimney, and in about 10 minutes after lighting the paper you dump the lit coals into the stove. I love my volcano stove and use it often.

I have used chunks of different sizes with good results. Neither chips or chunks will burn to ashes so what remains can be used to add smoke when grilling with charcoal briquets. You will have to use more chunks than chips though to get the same effect, because food apparently absorbs more smoke flavor early on before cooking temperature gets high and chips will initially outgas faster during that stage.

It does not take but a few hot briquettes for a warm side and 7-8 for a hot side. Try reading a few bbq books on grilling. The picture shows way too much charcoal for a couple pieces of meat!

More than one.... I'd say 10 or so depending on the amount you use it each time

you will use a lot of briquettes to cold smoke fish etc . one lasts 20 minutes, so to smoke over 2 days is a lot.

Hello Angele...that depends on how much tobacco you're going to use. Personally I break my charcoal into quarter pieces and use one of those pieces. The charcoal burns very slowly and I use approximately 2-3 pinches of tobacco. I get a good long smoke from that amount...actually 2 people could smoke that amount but like I said that depends on how long you like to smoke. You can get extended use from your charcoal if you break it into smaller pieces. I hope I helped you. Peace♥
