Is there a door to add charcoal or wood chips while smoking?

yes there is a door on the side, I asume its for these purposes, I have not smoked or used charcoal yet.

Yes there is a small door. It doesn't offer a ton of space but it gets the job done. The weber smoker that is a lot like this master built one has a rather large door in comparison.

Yes, but very small. Hard to access. The again, I was not really able to use it as the hose melted in probably 15mins. Save yourself the trouble. Get their 2-door smoker Masterbuilt 20051311 GS30D 2-Door Propane Smoker

They make a box that you can put the wood chips in. You can also use the small tin foil basket (like the one you use for the grease drippings), soak your wood chips in water for about 10 hours and then put the chips in the foil basket and let they start to smoke before you grill.

You need to use the bisquettes... you can buy them in a variety of hardwoods, but because of the design of the smoker, only bisquettes can be used.

Hi, Shawn,No, you don't have to use the wood chips in the Masterbuilt...I've cooked many turkeys, ducks and chickens in mine without smoking them, and they come out moist and delicious! Smoking is totally optional. Good cooking! Tony

you do not like the wood chips at all you soak them like you would for a regular smoker and you just put them in there.the unit gets hot enough and it will smoke without letting them.

hi!its easy! the charcoal/wood chip tray goes directly above the burner and directly under the water/marinade bowl. the heat from the burner heats the ceramic coated chip tray and makes the chips burn/smoke. after firing up the burner you simply open the access door on the side and put the wood chips in the wood chip tray through the access door as needed during the smoking process. be sure and close the door after each addition of chips. soaking them in water makes em last longer. i just smoke two boston buttes on the 4th of july and they were awesome. this thing is great. use it all the time. hi!its easy! the charcoal/wood chip tray goes directly above the burner and directly under the water/marinade bowl. the heat from the burner heats the ceramic coated chip tray and makes the chips burn/smoke. after firing up the burner you simply open the access door on the side and put the wood chips in the wood chip tray through the access door as needed during the smoking process. be sure and close the door after each addition of chips. soaking them in water makes em last longer. i just smoke two boston buttes on the 4th of july and they were awesome. this thing is great. use... » Read More hi!its easy! the charcoal/wood chip tray goes directly above the burner and directly under the water/marinade bowl. the heat from the burner heats the ceramic coated chip tray and makes the chips burn/smoke. after firing up the burner you simply open the access door on the side and put the wood chips in the wood chip tray through the access door as needed during the smoking process. be sure and close the door after each addition of chips. soaking them in water makes em last longer. i just smoke two boston buttes on the 4th of july and they were awesome. this thing is great. use it all the time. « Show Less

Pretty much so. My spouse does. He just puts smoker chips in... and keeps them damp

You could but it would take a bit longer to cook seeing as the charcoal is at the bottom. You can remove the top. It is really made for smoking I would not suggest it. The exterior may not handle all of the smoke..

if you referring to the gas / charcoal combo grill yes - it acts as a smoker box

This box is to put chips to create smoke. It is a small box that is placed inside the grill. Works pretty good!

Yes, you can throw some wood chips in the charcoal and keep put the lid on. This would would work best with indirect cooking and given the size of this Smokey Joe it may just not be big enough.

The smoker comes with 4 racks, each rack will hold ~6 leg quarters. You will need to rotate them occasionally. Also purchase a small 8" iron skillet to hold your chips as the chip container that comes with it is inadequate. I also purchased a firebox rope kit to help seal the door. This helps control heat loss through the door seam. Not sure on smoking time for leg quarters as I have not smoked them, but it will depend on the temp. you smoke them at. I can get mine up to around 350 f without a problem with the rope gasket (fire box gasket).

Its designed for Kingsford charcoal however I have used mesquite and hickory wood chips once the coals get ashed over. It adds a real nice smoke to the meat but even without chips the flavor is great.

You can use the wood dust or pellets. I crush the pellets up a little bit to get a better burn in my smoker, but either will work.

You can use wood or charcoal. I mainly use Kingsford but have use wood chips once in awhile to add flavor

Put your wood chips in the box and rest the box on the burner plate under the grate. It helps to let the grille get hot longer to heat up wood chips so the flavor comes out more.
