Bamboo charcoal is valued for putting out little smoke, so it is used indoors a lot. Not very good smoking meats.
Rob congratulations!
What do you burn in it? I know bamboo charcoal is available in Japan and a very good heat source.

Fajitas tonight. Big honkin' flank steak on the Weber, plus veg. I also roasted up some Anaheim and Jalapeno chilis from my garden and made a wicked green chili sauce to go with it, which is what you see at the edge of the right side of the picture.
I just picked up a side fire box for my Char Griller and I'm going to put it on tonight. I've been grilling for years, but never ventured into smoking. I'm pretty excited to give it a go. Any advice for a novice?
Whats cookin?
My kids are clamoring for brisket.
Oh brother- starting with an easy one.
You may want to do some dry runs to get a feel for the temps and what settings you may have to adjust with the new unit added. Do you have a thermometer to check temps at the grate level? What are your fuel choices?
There are as many ways to cook a brisket as there are steers in Texas
Have you cooked them before?

I'm going to pick up a new thermometer tomorrow. Apart from charcoals, it's easy to get apple, mesquite and hickory wood here. I've cooked brisket before in an improvised water smoker in my old Weber, but that's been some time ago. Since I've been living in NC, it's been pork, pork, pork. However, I've never cooked anything with a side fire box. It's all mounted and I'm eager to test it out.
...The biscuit test is also valuable, place uncooked biscuits around the chamber to see where your hot spots are ect. Good luck.
What a great idea this is. I can't believe I've never heard of it before!
