can you use would instead of charcoal?

I would only use charcoal because in the video it specifies "charcoal grill." If you prefer wood, I would Google a wood chip grill.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I would not use wood; I would use charcoal as the manufacturer intended. Your grill won't last long at wood burning temperatures, although a small amount of dry wood for the flavor with your charcoal won't kill it. If you're grilling meat and you can't hold your hand about six inches over the grill for a few seconds without wincing in agony, your temperature is probably too high.

You can add small pieces of wood but a small (18") round grill is not built for wood use instead of charcoal.

I have not in my 18.5, as I only used charcoal. I do add small chunks of Apple, Hickory, etc. to add smoke flavor, but the main fuel is charcoal.

No. The optional is for the charcoal prefilter. You should use the standard prefilter, if not using the optional charcoal one. It will make your main filter last longer.

Yes. The grill uses only a small amount of charcoal and most just burns down to ashes. You can also put a sheet of aluminium foil on the bottom of the grill and fold up the ashes once cool. I have not found this to be a problem. I think it is a great product.

The pot is very small. I have not ever used charcoal in them, but if you did use charcoal only one piece would fit. We use sterno gel and put the gel directly into the pot.

I use the Kingsford competition briquettes. They work great. I strongly discourage using lump charcoal for this device. It burns VERY hot and VERY quickly... sort of the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish with a smoker setup.

You can, but I would use Heet, the yellow bottle, it works best for hot temp and burning longer. Hope this helpsSteve

I don't see why not they work awesome starting charcoal. They would start the wood and burn out eventually like they do with charcoal. These are great for starting a fire!!

Yes you can, I have used mainly charcoal and mix it with about 15% of flavored woods. Hope this helps

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.

I use charcoal to get fire started the just use wood to do the smoking , works good for me that way

Yes, I've used both chips and chunks-works fine. Chunks are better for longer smoking time. I also put a lump or two of regular charcoal in there (it is supposed to help create the smoke ring on the meat). Be conservative with the wood chips/chunks-(it doesn't take as much as you think).

No, but there is no need to. You adjust the heat with the vents. If you want to have the coals close to the cooking surface, you can use the included baskets to pile up the charcoal.

not to easily. it will be to hard to keep low temps. the grill is really shallow so the charcoal is to close to cook slow the meat will cook to fast and the smoke will have no time to permiate the meat.

I have used wood but unless you use very dense wood like mesquite it burns very quickly. Best to use a combination of wood and charcoal. Imparts fantastic flavor.

the charcol is better because you dont get the smell of gas. and the taste of gas.plus,if you let the charcol burn until the coal turn white. it would be better

no. the actual cooking is done with charcoal. you're only using propane to start the charcoal.
