What you need to do is start a fire in the small side and have all your vents fully open. When the temp gauge gets between 150 and 250 you can add the type of meat you are going to smoke. You can add wood chips every hour to get that smoky flavor into your meat. You must maintain a low temp in order to get the best results. I usually smoke at 200 degrees from 5 to 12 hours long depending on what type of meat you are smoking. You must control the heat with the vents on the fire box side and also the exhaust where the smoke comes out. It takes a little practice but it is well worth it. You can also go to
www.smokingmeat.com and they have a whole bunch of tips on how to use different types of smokers, rubs, sauces, meats and so forth. Good Luck and happy smoking
