Fuel for an offset smoker/BBQ grill

jcole4455 · 2024-01-13T18:40:23+01:00

Ok about to visit the Philippines again (yearly) and contemplating ordering a grill from lazada. But after visiting many times I’m curious as to the type of wood (most available) and /or charcoal (not very available) for the fuel and smoking wood chips/ chunks and am interested in what you guys are using. All advice and suggestions will be appreciated.

You're not smoking a 6 kilo brisket with sawdust chips.

No.

Usually 2 kilos Kassler (German smoked Pork) Very similar to smoked Ham.

And yes. The sawdust is so cours, it could almost be classed as Woodchips.

yea that ain't gonna work for smoking 12-15 hrs straight. I'm talking true Texas style smoking meat. Or Memphis style ribs. Saw dust ain't gonna cut it. Too much actual smoke, and no real heat generation. Toss chips over charcoal and get thick ass white smoke for 60 seconds. That's not smoking bbq.

No.

But it works for what I want to do.

I have a very simple smoker, and only need to smoke 3-4 hours at 150 degrees C.
