Charcoal Chimney Burner

You'll need to invest in a charcoal chimney burner if you're intending to do long slow smoking using a charcoal fired smoker.

Inevitably, after 6 or 7 hours of smoking, your coals are going to need replacing and this isn't as simple as adding more fresh charcoal because:-

1. Fresh charcoal will absorb energy (and therefore reduce the temperature) as you get it going.
2. The smoke from freshly burning charcoal will obscure the flavor that you're trying to get from your wood chips.
3. Freshly burning charcoal gives off soot that will leave a black spotty residue on your meat.

You can solve all these problems using the chimney burner as this ensures that before you throw more coals into the smoker that the coals are already glowing and are at the ideal temperature for continuing the cookout.

The units are not difficult or expensive to buy and to see more of what's available click here.
