My husband indicated you may cook with wood but it is not a good option stick with charcoal.

Absolutely!! I use both regular and wood lump charcoal, but the construction of this grill will easily stand up to the intense heat of raw wood. Grill On!!

Yes. Just be cautious of fire temp. If you get it really high you will warp the charcoal grate

Yes but watch the heat. Like the other response I mix lump charcole and wood chips.great smoke flavor.

If you want to put charcoal on the top get the lodge camp oven instead. It's designed for that purpose.

no, i use wood kindling, then add larger wood chunks and/or mesquite (sp?) wood until i get a good layer of coals. i don't use conventional briquets (sp?)dan

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..

Yes, you just need to make the woodstove hot enough for what you want to cook. A hot campfire is ok, but smoke might become a problem.

I use Royal Oak lump charcoal, works great. Walmart has it. I have only used the Cook Air a couple of times but I can tell youits great! Awesome! I would think one 2x3 chunk of real wood would be enough. Do a google and see the lump charcoal its the best.Its real wood that has been burnt down to charcoal. Works really good and you don't need a lot...Mark

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

I would not use wood personally as it burns unevenly and could result in your food being unevenly cooked.

I burn wood, charcoal and duraflame. Duraflame is great for use with this unit.

With no problem. I did it myself. You put the wood you want to use in the small end and place the turkey is the large end and the smoke from the fire cooks the turkey. I used a fresh Turkey and was surprised on how fast it cooked. I used Kiawa wood which made the smoked meat amazing.

I use a few large pieces (6-8) of wood chunks, such as hickory, mesquite, cherry, or apple mixed in with the charcoal (Kingsford). The more wood mixed with the briquettes the deeper the smoked-in flavor becomes. Wood is for flavor and the charcoal is for sustaining heat, so you don't want to overdue the wood, but don't use wood chips as it burns off too fast, with the chucks you don't need to add more. Good luck and enjoy your Pit Barrel Cooker. Jerry Z.

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

You can use small hardwood chunks as long as they fit into the burn chamber. You can buy these chips on Amazon or at most retailers (Walmart, Home Depot, etc.) in the grill accessory area. The hardwood chunks produce as much heat as the compressed sawdust pucks that come with the unit.

Yes you can use these on a charcoal gril, you I waited until the flames went down, but there not supposed to burn.

There is some clearance since you can adjust the hight of the charcoal pan but I don't think this is good idea to use wood.For the designated use is a great barbecue.

I have used wood, a charcoal bricket, a tea light and an alchol burner. all have boiled water very well. so yes you can use other fuels with it.
