You should thoroughly clean your smoker after you have smoked your meat. Remember that different hardwoods have distinct characteristics which will affect the flavor and texture of your food. Most smoking sessions require two to three chucks. Some charcoal smokers will require you to soak the wood. However, most do not. Make sure to clean your charcoal smoker often in order for your food to cook evenly.


Prepare your smoker with oil before you start to cook. Oil will prevent meat from sticking to the grates, and it will dry the product. If you are using a tall smoker the higher part of your grate will heat up more than the lower. You can avoid smoking meat by placing smaller items evenly on the grates. Leave enough breathing room between the pieces. This will allow smoke to flow up and out of the smoker.

The air flow regulates the temperature of your charcoal smoking device. If your smoker includes a water pan, it will be necessary to empty it first. Next, clean the lid and cooking grates. If the grates are stained, use soapy water or a grill brush. Marinate your food before smoking. Once it's smoked, you'll need to replace the lid and the coal pan.
