This is a pretty nice grill as if you packing it, it does NOT have the vent on the bottom. Vents are on each side built into handle. If you were to have the briquettes around the outside of circle so you do not have the DIRECT heat it may work.

Perfect..for cooking for 2 and sometimes3. Also, great for travel trailer.. I think an 18 qt tub is the right size. But will fit right down in with the lid laid to the side along with starter fluid, smoker chips and tongs. With a 30#laundry soap bucket for your charcoal (doubles as a side table to hold your drink) Easy and helps keep things clean �

It should, although for smoking in a small container you'll need to arrange the bouquets so only one or two burn at a time. Otherwise the fuel will burn too fast and too hot.

It should if you set it up for indirect heat. It won't actually be.a.smoker though. It is very frugal on briquettes. Once you shut the vents it will extinguish the.briquettes.

I just smoked two full racks a couple of weekends ago. I used a Weber rib rack on the lower grill, and this held 3 half-racks upright, and I laid the last half rack flat on the upper grill. All were spaced far enough apart to get smoked and came out great. You could probably use another rib rack on the upper grill to get 3+ full racks done, but it'll be a tight fit at that point.

I have used my rib rack in a smaller smoker but had to cut the rack of ribs into 3 pieces so they would fit inside the smoker. Otherwise the rack of ribs was too long to fit. In another smoker I cut the rack of ribs in half.

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.

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.

Plenty of room! I use a rack for the ribs so that they stand up during the smoking process. Smoke them at 200 degrees or less. Great recipes on Google...

I use it in my 22.5" Weber Smoky Mountain and it fits fine. It allows you to stand the rib racks upright (thereby avoiding having to open your smoker to flip the ribs). It's designed to hold 4 racks, but I still use it when I'm only smoking 2 racks...I just curl them around. Hope this info helps, even though it's a different model smoker. Enjoy!

Yes. You can use one that has a long cord attached. You can feed the cord through the top of the smoker, since there is a small hole. This smoker is awesome!

None. This is a smoker box for wood chips, not an actual smoker. You would us this with a grill.

I bought the regular size, and use it for small amounts if I'm just cooking for two. I bought the mini for a friend. We may do a side by side test run to see if the mini delivers more smoke flavor to the same sized chicken breast or piece of salmon.

I don't think so since the smoker has 3 sections that fit together nicely. I have the 22 1/2 inch smoker which I believe most any lady could handle. These smokers also come in 18 1/2 and I believe 16 1/2. Keep in mind how much food you might be smoking at any one time as that will guide you on the appropriate size to buy.

It fits because the racks inside the Masterbuilt smoker move up or down for convenience. However, I am not real excited about this particular rack because my first one fell apart due to poor welding. Then I discovered that if one cuts a regular size rib in two equal pieces, the individual pieces will not fit. It is necessary to cut the rib to fit and then there is a too small rib section left over to fit somewhere (?). Bottom line is that it will probably work well with a roast, but does not accommodate a slab of ribs well.

Yes, is the short answer to part 1, you don't 'have to, but I do, to part 2. I end up putting some chips (I don't worry about soaking, just throw them directly on the coals) so for me it infuses the smoke also. You'd have enough heat if you step up to 10-12 briquettes to grill steaks just fine, and it will last a long time also. I tend to keep around 9 or so for the new style Kingsford and cover it so I get the wood smoke infusion. I don't know for the large charcoal parts, I use regular briquettes as I can control what I want for heat better by varying the number of them. Keep in mind that I'm a Dutch Oven cook guy, so I might be more hung up on heat control than most people.

I bought one but the wire rack was too big. Thought I would use it for smoking meat. I ended up pitching the wire rack, use the ceramic as a pizza stone although even without the rack the stone kind of fits. Then bought the barbecue smoking stone which works perfectly.

Oster does not make a two tier rack for this smoker/roaster; and I have been looking for the same thing. So far all the racks I have looked at are too wide or too tall to fit with the roasting insert. I'll post if I find one.

It depends on how much grilling you do and how many people you are grilling for. I have a 2-burner, and it is fine for me.

I use a standing rib rack and can fit in (2)-full racks and (2)- half racks at one time. The smoker insert is angled at two ends and not rectangular where the bins for the wood chips are, so I cut the third rack in half for the best fit. I've made very good ribs in this smoker and installed a Weber thermometer in the lid to more closely monitor the temperature while smoking.
