What type of fuel should I use for my Brinkmann smoker?

For your Brinkmann smoker, it is recommended to use charcoal or wood pellets as the primary fuel source. Charcoal offers a classic smoky flavor while wood pellets provide a versatile and consistent heat source. Both options ensure optimal results for smoking a variety of foods. However, it is important to avoid using lighter fluid-soaked charcoal or any other accelerants, as they may leave an undesirable taste on your food. Instead, opt for natural charcoal or hardwood lump charcoal, as they burn cleaner and offer a more authentic flavor. Additionally, choosing high-quality wood pellets from reputable manufacturers will further enhance the taste and aroma of your smoked dishes. Always follow the instructions provided with your smoker to ensure safe and efficient fuel usage.
