I used the smoker for the first time the other day smoked a but of cheese, then a couple of lamb chops, I used cut and dryed grape vine, I know the size was a little big and this caused a bit of a feed problem, but it worked out very good, I wiuld suggest not using a bbq with a glass panel as it is a bit of a bugger to clean afterwards, the charcol griller worked well. The lamb cooked up very nicely on the house onen's grill.
